Ikat Fabrics Are All the Rage

If you have been furniture shopping lately it would have been hard for you to miss the Ikat trend.   Real Ikat fabrics are woven fabrics.   Most of the Ikat type fabrics you find in the fabric store will be fabrics with the motif printed on instead of a woven Ikat.  I recommend that you go to this link Arch Academy of Design  to learn about the dying and weaving process because I can not do it justice by putting it in my own words.  Basically the process of tie-dying warps and wefts before weaving will result in the finished design.  Like I said, check out the excellent hyperlink for more info.


  Here are some recent fabric finds available in many colors and a variety of designs.

Are you having trouble visualizing how it might work in a room.  Check out the combination of items below and see what you think.
