When choosing a tissue (also know as the textiles) for decoration purposes, one of the first things to consider is your suitability. You may have to choose fabrics for furniture upholstery, wall treatments, bedding, curtains, cushions, bedspreads ... Fabrics can add warmth, color and atmosphere of a room, while bringing in different patterns and textures.
Throughout subsequent articles, I will go into detail about each of the types of fabric on the market, as well as the type of fiber on which it is manufactured: natural or artificial, so that you can choose the one that best suits to your decoration and your style.
Batik
Batik is done using a technique of wax dye resistant to the one that originated in Java. For batik to be suitable, the fabric is painted or sealed with melted wax.
Fabric is dipped in dye bath and on waxed areas resist coloring. The wax is removed using heat, usually from a iron.
Batik is very oriental, a casual look that goes well with bamboo and furniture rattan. The colors they are, generally strong and deep, primary and can evoke the feeling of a bungalow in Bali.
Batiks are from finer fabrics traditionally, as the cotton or the sound, which are perfect for cushions, bedspreads, curtains, etc. These fabrics are generally not sufficiently adapted for upholstery.
