With New Year comes a set of resolutions which keep us on our toes; from new clothes, new décor idea, because we aim to achieve a lot. When it comes to home décor, there are many décor trends which are rising this year and one of them is jacquard designs. The design has a pattern woven into weave instead of printing and dyeing. Akshay Jaipuria, partner, Vaya Home gives an insight into its features and richness of colour and texture.
Different types of jacquard designs which can be used in our home are:
1. Fresco: A satin weave, combined with special weft effects, give Fresco a vibrant reminiscence of a painting. The shine and elegant arches in soft shades give it a radiance unlike any other. As part of our Jamewar collection, it is ideal to bring in a rich feel to a space.
