The fabric you
choose can make or break the room. Here are a few quick tips:
·Decide
on your style. How formal or how casual do you want to be? If you want
a casual look, go for cotton or linen. If you prefer a formal
style-damask, silk and brocades are good choices.
·Think
about function. If you are picking out fabric for a family room sofa,
silk is not a good choice, especially if you have kids.
·Check
out your sources. We recommend using the professionals for your drapery

sample home and live with it for a few days before actually purchasing.
This will allow you to see how the fabric and color looks in different
