I am an Interior Design Textile Junkie! YES that's what I said :) I have a thing for design fabrics. Ever since I can remember I loved textiles, I loved playing with different patterns, textures while creating layered vignettes fabric vignettes- it was quite fun, it still is, but now I do it with lots more knowledge and purpose :) .
My mom also been very passionate about textiles, I remember when I was little, she used to purchase so many different fabrics (for the home or apparel) to either update the draperies in the house or have the tailor make new dresses for my sister and I. We used to admire the patterns and colors and often picked them ourselves. I still remember one of the last summer dress that she had the dressmaker make for me, it was white silk fabric with beautiful vibrant colorful butterflies all over and yes I picked the fabric and designed it myself, it was fun :). 
There is something amazing about luxurious great quality fabric that adds a great level of sophistication, interest or just a fantastic character to a room.
To this day I LOVE the part of an interior design project when I get to select textiles and create a perfectly balanced interior environment for my clients.
By layering, blending textures, selecting the right type of fabric for the space as well as the scale of the print and pattern, you can completely transform a room to an amazing landscape.
I love all types of textiles since they are all relative to what you are trying to achieve in the design. But my favorite are beautifully crafted luxury textiles with lots of confidence in pattern and color. I love love vivid colors, luscious heavy velvets, heavy linens, beautifully crafted damasks, fun masculine geometric patterns as well as modern bright florals. When it comes to textiles and anything else in the design goods industry (furniture, textile, lighting etc.) great quality and great designs usually are more expensive, but they oh so worth it on so many levels.
Tell me what types of textiles do you enjoy?
Have a beautiful rest of the week!

I love textiles too - they truly make or break a room. I love mixing different textures in particular, but mixing multiple patterns and colours is more of an art form - I so admire people who can do it well!
