Selecting Decorative Textiles:
The basic principles of selecting decorative Textiles require a thorough understanding of the subtle balance between variety and monotony, between contrast and similarity, which must be part of the ability of the true artist.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 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 decorative scheme.
