Traditional global fabrics have been surging in popularity among people looking to bring a fresh look to their homes. You can add a lot of color and character to your bedroom with the right fabrics, and there’s something out there to suit every taste!
Batik is a popular Indonesian fabric with a tie-dyed look. It’s widely available and highly affordable thanks to screen printing, and is a great way to add color and texture to bedding or upholstered furniture. Batik works especially well in a coastal style, as its swirling blues can break up an otherwise fairly static red, blue, and white color scheme. Kuba is another textile gaining in popularity. Originating in Africa, this fabric is woven from leaves and dyed naturally. Traditional kuba cloth makes for a great accent on a wall, and can even serve as a headboard-style decoration over the bed. Suzani is a Central Asian textile featuring stylized botanical motifs. It’s great for making a formal space seem more casual, and it pairs very well with intricately-carved antiques. Take a look at these and more worldly textiles below and get some design ideas!
