Textile Design for Interiors

To start the course, Rocío León talks about how she discovered her passion for fabrics, interior design, and decoration as well as how she began working professionally in those fields. She also tells you about her influences and the lasting impact they've had on her work, especially when designing spaces or collections.

Get in touch with the materials themselves and discover the different natural fibers out there and where they come from. Go over the most common weaves used in textiles and see how to differentiate a jacquard fabric from a printed one. Learn what rapport is and how to choose your fabrics based on their quality.

Next, Rocío shows you how to read the technical specifications attached to textile samples. Build on this knowledge by analyzing fabrics to understand which are best suited for interior spaces such as a living room, hallway, or bedroom, and which are more appropriate for outdoor use.

Now it's time to work on your project following your teacher's approach. First, visualize the space and its intended use and establish the specific needs of your client or the brand. Then, research and select the main fabrics and other possible combinations. Finally, compile all the references and information you gathered and transform your ideas into a tangible mood board.
