What Do the Experts Say about Performance Textiles?

 

Echoing values similar to ours, the home decor industry has seen a great deal of emphasis put on functionality. We have seen a strong rejection of fast fashion develop amongst world-renowned interior designers who are now taking into account a world wherein people are getting used to spending much more of their time indoors.

 

With the persisting pandemic forcing families to work and study from home, the furniture industry has observed a growing interest in decor that is built to withstand regular use. People are beginning to value functionality. As a result, consumers seem to be more interested in furniture that is built to last.

 

Famed interior designer Penny Morrison is at the fore of the push towards functionality. Morrison’s advice to homeowners is to invest in furniture featuring what the industry refers to as “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 can be expected to not get damaged from regular use.

 

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

 

Acquiring the performance variant of linen, for example, allows homeowners to place furniture with this otherwise delicate fabric in high-traffic areas of their houses. 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 more versatility when picking out furniture. Linen would typically not be the ideal textile to use on couches meant for outdoor or regular indoor use. But performance linen will not crease as easily from day-to-day use nor will it be as difficult to remove a stain from.

 

The durability and functional lifespan of performance textiles is without a doubt unrivalled. Textiles are doctored at the fibre level through chemical treatment or interweaving of other materials in order to gain their performance qualities.

 

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 aqua-phobic, allowing homeowners to use these fabrics outdoors.

 

Stain resistance – Through a similar process, textiles can be treated in order to decrease the absorption rate of messy substances and liquids (think wine) which makes it easier to remove stains from them.

 

Sun protection – Textiles can be treated in order to have UV blocking qualities, allowing them to be placed in areas that see 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 these harmful substances 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 of the fact that our products are strong and reliable regardless of the low prices attached to them.

 

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 all around the world, homeowners find that they have been given license to play around with more courageous and adventurous furnishing arrangements.

 

Interior designers are encouraging homeowners to step out of their shells of muted tones and opt instead for richer palettes of colour. Today’s trends lean towards styles reminiscent of the school of expressionism. In this brave new world, colour is king.

 

Many famous interior designers are also insisting that homeowners should be incorporating elements and motifs of the natural world into their living spaces. The call of nature is all the rave right now with the growing commonality of vertical living having led to an increase in the popularity of indoor plants.

 

It would seem that many top designers have taken an interest in furniture textiles that compliment the inclusion of these natural elements into the living room. For instance, one expert keenly suggests pairing plants with floral-patterned couches that are a few shades darker than the plants themselves.

 

But the support of the experts is not the primary reason behind the steadily rising popularity of floral textiles. Instead, it is because this method of interior decoration is an easy and proven means through which homeowners can add character and charm to their households.

 

We find there to be a big movement in favour of patterns in general. Dictated by shifting cultural sentiments going into the next decade, it has become desirable to set living spaces up with textiles and tapestries featuring busy and flowing patterns when the intent is to construct 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 the ones pushing for natural and earthy textures. Brown hues and raw materials are dominating 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 better inform the decisions you make. Typically, the chief issue preventing homeowners from following the latest household trends is the expenses involved.
