Wallpaper
Using wallpaper is popular again in the recent years, thanks to the good quality and exclusive assortment. Designers create their new patterns following the fashion and their color usage adjusts to this also. However, the manufacturing companies still have wide range of wallpapers for the classic style lovers, the truly outstanding companies – in the case of a customer order – reproduce a product from their decades-old books with pleasure also.
Wallpaper can be used on walls or on the ceiling, all over the surface or creating a focal point, or even as decoration on furniture and doors also. It is practical to ask for a sample in the shop before purchasing, this way the effect can be seen in the light of our home. Since the samples are small, in the case of bigger patterns the final effect is upon our imagination. Further showy solutions can be reached by combining painting and wallpapering. Some high-quality manufacturers use their own paints for their wallpapers, this way no need to go from shop to shop with the samples, since the ordered colors will perfectly match.
Always buy the glue recommended by the manufacturer for the wallpaper and strictly follow the instruction manual when applying. If the job is done by a professional, all information should be given to him. The technique to be used depends on the material, thickness and pattern of the wallpaper. If the wall is uneven, it has to be plastered and grinded before wallpapering, only this can provide nice result.
The size of the wallpaper’s pattern is as determining as its color. The scale effects the total result. For example, too large pattern can be easily overwhelming in a small bedroom and can affect a more narrowing feeling, however a small and dense pattern can be lost in a spacious living room and it is enjoyable only at close.
It is also a much simpler process to choose wallpaper with a help of an interior designer, we can trust in his/her skills as to colors and patterns. With his/her 3D visualization we don’t have to rely on our imagination, how the chosen wallpaper will show in our home.

Gobelin
Gobelin tapestry got its name after the fabric painter family that had moved probably from Reims to Paris in the XVII. century – founding the famous weaving workshop. Louise XIV. raised it to a royal manufactory and supported the production. The technique itself is being used since the middle of the XV. century. Gobelin is an illustrated tapestry used primarily for covering the walls or the floor. Knight-era scenes, Biblical stories or allegories related to the customers were the most common illustrations. First the base material was wool, later then the carrier yarns were replaced to linen ones. In renaissance era, golden and silver threads were also used. As time went by, the technique continuously developed, the result became more colorful and flexible. The loom itself could be horizontal or vertical also.
Petit point is a handwork simulating this weaving technique, started at the XVIII. century in France. Its base material is silk or linen, but they are completely overlaid with embroidery. The topic can be practically anything. Upholstered furniture, cushions, table linen and female handbags were decorated with this method – such as everyday consumer products.
Conservation, professional cleaning and handling of such an antique tapestry is an important issue, since they are quite vulnerable, they can be damaged or even destroyed during use or incorrect storage. If we own such an antique one, let’s ask for the recommendations of a professional. Of course, modern gobelin imitations or gobelin-like mechanical products can be purchased in the shops. Cushions or blankets decorated with gobelin have returned to the fashion. Weaving and colors can easily tell us, if the product is not antique, anyhow they can provide the same feeling in a proper classic style interior.
If you would like an antique or new gobelin in your home, ask for help from an interior designer for the optimal arrangement and usage.

Natural textiles
When choosing fabrics, besides their colors and patterns, the material should be considered as well. They have to be chosen by the desired function (upholstery, carpet, curtain, decorating fabric). The fabrics made of natural fibers have two groups: animal and floral origin.
Fabrics woven of sheep wool yarn are sturdy, warm, thick and a bit spiky. They can be cleaned only on low temperature and shouldn’t be put to direct sunshine. They are easily colorable, their pattern are commonly woven.
One long silk thread can be gained by unrolling the pod of the silkworm which can be woven to silk fabric. Its coloring is a more complicated procedure. The threads are more knotty in some parts of it, this way a special pattern is formed, typical only to silk. It is light, soft to touch, with high tensile strength and relatively chemical resistant also.
Cashmere wool is made of the soft hair of cashmere goat which is selected by hand first. It is a specially soft, warm but light material.
Further animals which provide natural fibers: vicuna, lama, alpaca, angora rabbit, spider (silk).
Cotton belongs to floral fibers. Cotton thread is made of the fiber covering the seeds of the cotton-plant and this is woven to a fabric. It is easy to bleach and color. Sunlight might quickly damage it. It is cleanable on mid temperature. It can be patterned by weaving, printing and painting.
Linen is made of fibers of flax plant during a long processing. A bit rigid, light beige fabric is given. It is hard to iron, cleanable on high temperature and it is easy to color. It is frequently mixed with cotton for better handling.
Other plants give fibers for making strong fabrics also. For example: see grass (sisal), hemp, jute, coconut.
Ask for help of an interior designer for choosing the proper fabrics.
