Tucson Interior Designer Guide: Using Patterns & Design in Fabric Upholstery

Designs Made Easier With Fabrics That Go

Take advantage of the variety of patterns and styles for your commercial and residential clients looking to get the right aesthetic and motif for their homes and businesses.

We’ll look into the best of Arizona’s unique fabric patterns for interior design, as well as some of their practical uses.

What Are Interior Designers?

Interior designers are experts on the aesthetic of a home or a space allowing the person who enters it to feel at home, comfortable, and safe. These are no minor benefits to businesses as well, who wish to attract more customers or clients.

So what does that mean? It means interior design is a premium service where customers expect high standards in design and custom features that store-bought off-the-shelf solutions can’t provide.

Interior designers all over Tucson and in and around of Arizona work alongside Fabrics That Go. We help them turn their ideas into reality, especially with premium upholstery services, which can make all the difference in design.

What Needs Designing?

Interior and exterior design scenarios that require:

  • Custom Home Builders
  • Residential Clients
  • Restaurants & Bars/Clubs
  • Pool Areas
  • Hotel & Resort Design
  • Short-Term/Vacation Rentals
  • Country Clubs
  • Event Venues & Theaters
  • Retail Stores
  • Offices
  • Medical Facilities
  • RV Customizations

Of course, there are more possibilities where upholstery fabric could be used. And in the above fabric considerations, Sunbrella fabrics are great for outdoor uses since it prevents fading of the design from sun exposure.

The 7 Principles of Interior Design

Now that you have determined the kind of space you’re designing for and the kind of furniture and pieces that it will have, it’s time to consider the 7 principles of interior design:

  • Balance

In interior design, this is about equal distribution of visual weight, in other words making sure that parts of the space do not feel too empty or too full.

  • Rhythm

For interior design, this takes the form of repeated elements like a color or pattern, materials, shapes, or styles all to create a cohesive flow.

  • Emphasis

When we talk about this in interior design, it’s all about having a focal point that is the first thing that’s noticed when entering a room. Learn more: Enhancing Home Style with Accent Furniture & Drapery >>

  • Scale and Proportion

Scale is about the size of objects within a space, while proportion is about the size of objects in relation to each other.

  • Contrast

Contrast prevents a space from being boring or one dimensional. You can create contrast by placing starkly different objects next to each other.

  • Harmony and Unity

Unity is attained by decorating with fabrics or upholstery that have a common theme for example. A room with common colors, patterns, or styles shows harmony.

  • Detail

When all taken together, details on the particular items like the quality of the fabric or their type are the final consideration.
