How do you select the right fabric?

Understanding the characteristics and feel of different fabrics is key when selecting the different finishes for your project. Deciding which type of fabric to make an item with is an important decision, as fabrics can have countless qualities. From natural to synthetic fibres and from knit to woven, understanding your unique requirements will help to dictate which textiles will work best.

Mixing textiles, textures and colours, the Alhambra team creates a universe of textiles that draw your soul, and fill your life with well-being. Inspiration and originality guide products for dressing each space in your life. What is produced is not just textiles, but a net of commitment, innovation and reliance.

What should you consider when choosing textiles for home usage?

Durability: When choosing textiles for your home, prioritize durability. Opt for fabrics that can withstand everyday wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas like the living room or dining room. Fabrics like cotton and microfiber are known for their durability, while silk and velvet may be better suited for less frequently used spaces.

Match Textures and Styles: To create a cohesive and visually appealing interior, pay attention to texture and style. Mix and match textiles that complement each other in terms of texture and style. For example, pair a sleek, modern sofa with soft, textured throw pillows to add depth and interest to the space.

Consider Maintenance: Think about the level of maintenance you’re willing to commit to for each textile. Some fabrics, like linen, develop a relaxed, lived-in look over time, while others require regular cleaning and conditioning. Choose textiles that align with your lifestyle and maintenance preferences to ensure they remain looking their best.

Alhambra has a comprehensive approach when creating, designing and crafting fabrics, which provides architects and interior designers with a complete solution capable of covering every curve and bringing their taste and identity into their projects.

This year, Alhambra has been transformed and enriched by things that are close to us. Inspiration comes from the places they know best, those that are part of our essence and where the sea is always present.
