What Do the Experts Say about Performance Textiles?

Echoing our values, the home decor industry has placed great emphasis on functionality. We have seen a strong rejection of fast fashion develop among world-renowned interior designers, who are now taking into account a world in which people are getting used to spending much more of their time indoors. With the ongoing pandemic forcing families to work and study from home, the furniture industry has seen growing interest in decor built to withstand regular use. People are beginning to value functionality. As a result, consumers seem more interested in furniture built to last.

Famed interior designer Penny Morrison is at the forefront of the push towards functionality. Morrison’s advice to homeowners is to invest in furniture featuring what the industry calls “performance” textiles. The term is used to describe fabrics that are combined with more durable materials to increase functionality. Aside from just looking nice, performance fabrics are expected not to get damaged during regular use.

An example of desirable performance textiles, given by Morrison herself, is velvet or linen furniture, in which the textiles themselves have been interwoven with synthetic fibres, providing the fabrics with an additional degree of durability.

Acquiring the performance variant of linen, for example, allows homeowners to place furniture made of this otherwise delicate fabric in high-traffic areas of their homes. For families limiting time spent out of the house, performance fabrics are essential to the longevity of their furniture.

As Morrison would argue, performance textiles offer homeowners greater versatility when choosing furniture. Linen is typically not the ideal textile for couches intended for outdoor or regular indoor use. But performance linen will not crease as easily during day-to-day use, nor will it be as difficult to stain.

The durability and functional lifespan of performance textiles is without a doubt unrivalled. Textiles are enhanced at the fibre level through chemical treatment or by interweaving other materials to improve their performance.

 

Here is a list of some of the many attributes common amongst different performance textiles:

Water resistance – Textiles that would typically absorb water easily can be chemically treated to become more hydrophobic, allowing homeowners to use these fabrics outdoors.

Stain resistance – Through a similar process, textiles can be treated to reduce the absorption rate of messy substances and liquids (think wine), making stains easier to remove.

Sun protection – Textiles can be treated to have UV-blocking properties, allowing them to be placed in areas that receive a lot of sunlight without their colours fading.

Antimicrobial attributes – Textiles can be treated using topical chemicals that prevent pathogens from spreading through their fibres. Should the fabric come into contact with microbes such as mould, bacteria, or mildew, this treatment will prevent them from growing and spreading.

 

Most performance textiles will have more than one of these functionalities, affording homeowners dozens of optional arrangements when setting up their living spaces. Many of the cheap couches for sale on our website feature performance textiles, a further indication that our products are strong and reliable despite their low prices.

 

A Brave New Era for Textiles

Thanks to globalisation and the travelling generation, inspiration for the hottest textile trends comes from all corners of the world. With it being so much easier to access new ideas and exotic materials from cultures around the world, homeowners find they have the license to play around with bolder, more adventurous furnishing arrangements.

Interior designers are encouraging homeowners to step out of their shells of muted tones and opt for richer colour palettes instead. Today’s trends lean towards styles reminiscent of the Expressionist school. In this brave new world, colour is king. Many famous interior designers also insist that homeowners incorporate elements and motifs from the natural world into their living spaces. The call of nature is all the rage right now, with the growing prevalence of vertical living boosting the popularity of indoor plants.

It would seem that many top designers have taken an interest in furniture textiles that complement the inclusion of these natural elements into the living room. For instance, one expert suggests pairing plants with floral-patterned couches a few shades darker than the plants themselves. But expert support is not the primary reason for the steadily rising popularity of floral textiles. Instead, it is because this method of interior decoration is an easy and proven way for homeowners to add character and charm to their homes.

 

We find a strong movement in favour of patterns in general. As cultural sentiments shift into the next decade, it has become desirable to furnish living spaces with textiles and tapestries featuring busy, flowing patterns when the intent is to create a calming space.

 

This stands in stark contrast to previous iterations of calming decor that called for monochrome palettes and skinny, minimalist furniture. Nowadays we find such spaces to be clinical and artificial, far to reminiscent of modern office chic – which is totally not relaxing! Over in Europe, the hottest interior designers are currently pushing for natural, earthy textures. Brown hues and raw materials dominate this sphere of home decor, perfectly melding the natural world with modern sophistication. We have it on good word that this particular trend is here to stay as a staple for many years to come.

 

When picking out textiles, consider these insights to inform your decisions better. Typically, the chief issue preventing homeowners from following the latest household trends is the expenses involved.

This is where the cheap couches for sale on our website come in. We have an expansive catalogue of affordable furniture to choose from, allowing you to actualise your home decor goals at an affordable price.
