3. CURTAINS
• Curtains are manufactured from a variety of
thick fabrics, each with a differing degree of
light absorption and heat insulating qualities.
• For maximum temperature control, the
curtain gap to the window should be small,
with minimum convection drafts below or
above the curtain.
• Various architectural structures around the
curtain can minimize these air drafts, but
usually they are just used for decoration and
make rooms feel more cosy.
• A sheer or net curtain is one that is made
from translucent fabric, such as a loosely
woven polyester voile or a cotton lace.

4. • Uncoated fabrics provide the next level
of heat insulation.
• Uncoated fabrics constitute the vast
majority of fabrics used in curtains, and
are composed of a tightly woven
fabric, most typically a
cotton/polyester blend, which is
mostly opaque when viewed in
ambient light.
• Uncoated fabrics provide a reasonable
level of heat insulation due to the tight
weave of the fabric.
• when curtains made from uncoated
fabrics are closed in an attempt to
block out direct sunlight, light will still
be visible through the curtain.

5. Curtain styles
• Flat panel curtains are simple and versatile: to make them,
pieces of fabric are hemmed on all four edges and the final
rectangular or square piece is hung from curtains poles with
clip-on rings or something similar.
• pleated, the look is strongly influenced by the fullness of the
pleats.
• Tab top curtains are made with narrow straps, that loop or tie
at the top edge and hung from the curtain pole. This curtain
style is often designed as two stationary panels at the sides
of a window.
• Grommet curtains are hung by threading the curtain pole
through a hole in the top of the fabric.

6. • This could be either a cut-out hole with the edges finished by
a row of stitching or it could use a grommet to prevent
fraying.
• Sash curtains are used to cover the lower sash of the
windows.
• Rod pocket curtains have a channel sewn into the top of the
fabric. A curtain rod is passed through the channel to hang.
• Thermal or Blackout curtains use very tightly woven fabric,
usually in multiple layers.
• They not only block out the light, but can also serve as an
acoustic or thermal dampener

8. WINDOW BLINDS
• Blinds are a perfect way of
ensuring that you can keep
your windows open for fresh
air and still continue to enjoy
privacy.
• Presto brings into your living
room these beautiful green
coloured jacquard blinds for
windows, doors and long
doors.

9. • A window blind is a type of window covering.
• Blinds made of fabric can either be rolled up thanks to
a thin cord and small horizontal slats (Roman blind),
folding blinds with no horizontal slats create a less
structured look (Austrian blinds).
• Many fabrics are used including cotton, polyester,
wool, viscose and silk to create the blinds.
• A silk cloth can be present or embroidery stitch, which
will give tissue varied terrain.
• If you combine silk and cotton, it is possible to achieve
a two-layered fabric, similar to the skin of the animal.
• Venetian blinds, both horizontal and vertical, are
available in a number of man-made materials (either
resembling wood or metal or simply plastic).

11. CUSHIONS
• A cushion is a soft bag of
some ornamental material,
stuffed with wool, hair,
feathers, polyester staple
fiber, non-woven material,
or even paper torn into
fragments.
• It may be used for sitting or
kneeling upon, or to soften
the hardness or angularity
of a chair or couch.
• A cushion is also referred to
as a bolster, hassock,
headrest and a sham.

12. • Cushions and rugs can be used
temporarily outside to soften a hard
ground. They can be placed on sun
loungers and used to prevent
annoyances from moist grass and
biting insects. Some dialects of
English use this word to refer to
throw pillows as well.
• Cushions were then often of great
size, covered with leather, and firm
enough to serve as a seat, but the
steady tendency of all furniture has
been to grow smaller with time.
• the cushion is considered an
upholstery item.

14. How to Polish Wood Furniture
• Mix 4 parts olive oil with 1 part white vinegar and pour
it into a spray bottle.
• Test the solution on a small patch first to see if it leads to
the desired effect.
• Spray the solution on a microfiber cloth and work it well
into the wood – you will see the wood shine again
instantly.

16. TAPESTRY FABRIC
• Tapestry is a form of textile art, traditionally woven on a
vertical loom.
• Tapestries are mostly found in high quality museums.
Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp
threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike cloth
weaving where both the warp and the weft threads may
be visible.
• In tapestry weaving, weft yarns are typically
discontinuous; the artisan interlaces each coloured weft
back and forth in its own small pattern area.
• It is a plain weft-faced weave having weft threads of
different colours worked over portions of the warp to
form the design.
