This fear is the gradual wear and tear that your fragile silk decor will experience over time. When it comes to upholstery textiles, silk is without a doubt the most gorgeous while also being the most delicate. To ensure the safety of your “touch-me-nots,” here are some helpful hints and suggestions: Always purchase ten percent more fabric than you need to guarantee its endurance. Considering that the sleek material has the ability to bestow a magnificent impression on any house that it decorates, regardless of the color, it is always a good idea to first pre-test the fabric for discoloration and shrinking. Silk has long been used to give a glittering type of touch to interiors, so don’t be afraid to experiment with it; you may be as creative as you possibly can, mix and match the colors and pattern, or keep to one theme, and watch the magic happens right in front of your eyes! The addition of some silk accessories, like as blankets, cushions or throw pillows, table runners, and so on, will make the situation more dynamic and exciting. All of them are available in a wide range of styles, patterns, and, of course, colors. The fiber, although being smooth and glossy, has a tendency to discolor and dissolve when exposed to bright light, therefore use extreme caution. Make sure that your silk textiles are protected with a coating. It is just dry clean! It is possible to see the photographs on indiaartndesign.com by clicking here.
