More Decorative: It is hardly necessary to state that Textiles are among the most important materials of decoration, and that a thorough acquaintance with them is an essential part of the decorator's equipment. A study of Textiles and their use must be approached from many angles, as their suitable selection in more decorative work may depend upon all or any of the following characteristic features: fiber, weave, color, pattern, cost, and durability, and their relationship to the general more decorative scheme.

The curves of the carved wooden chair and the display cabinet have a touch of Scandinavian style about them, while the patterned wallpaper could be right out of a French chateau.
This built-in cupboard has been given an exotic feel by the addition of a deep blue border and a decorative touch motif, which has been stencilled in rich orange. The orange knob is the finishing touch. Mesh inset in the door panels means the chunky earthenware pieces are visible through it, adding more colour to the room.
On The Other Hand See Decorative Effect:The use of tapestries. It has often been said that a room in which a tapestry hangs is already furnished. It is indeed true that such a room needs little else from a decorative effect point of view, so rich is the effect. A large tapestry is such an important object in any room that it should always have the place of honor and should be so hung that it is not only properly lighted both in natural and artificial light, but that it may be seen at a distance, also, to obtain fully its best effect. Needless to say, its full beauty is only brought out by contrasting it with plain surfaces, whether these be Wall treatments, upholstery materials, or Floor coverings. The use of tapestries as decorative effect features in contemporary rooms has reached a low ebb, but this fact in no way denies the fact that the art of weaving reached its apex in this medium.
