At Tazz Shades, we've partnered with industry leader Kravet to bring you fabrics that not only look stunning but also provide the functionality modern homeowners demand. Today, our design team is sharing their favorite textured fabrics that have been appearing in our most requested installations.
Our Designers' Top Picks from Kravet
1. Linen Weave Collection
Our design team consistently reaches for Kravet's Linen Weave collection for clients seeking an organic, natural aesthetic. The subtle horizontal ribbing creates a handcrafted appearance while maintaining clean lines for contemporary spaces.
Designer Note: "The Linen Weave in Flax creates a beautiful diffused light quality that's perfect for living spaces where you want to reduce glare without sacrificing natural illumination."
2. Metallic Basketweave
For clients looking to add subtle glamour, the Metallic Basketweave collection offers a sophisticated blend of natural fibers with metallic threads woven throughout. This fabric catches and reflects light beautifully, adding a luxurious element to roller shades.
Designer Note: "The Pearl colorway with silver threading is our most requested shade for modern high-rise apartments – it complements city views while adding texture that basic roller shades simply can't match."
3. Performance Bouclé
Practicality meets high design with Kravet's Performance Bouclé. This durable, textured fabric features a looped yarn construction that creates visual depth while remaining surprisingly resilient to fading and wear.
Designer Note: "Clients with south-facing windows love this option because it maintains its rich texture and color even with constant sun exposure. The Oatmeal colorway is particularly versatile."
4. Eco-Friendly Jute Blend
Sustainability-minded clients gravitate toward our Eco-Friendly Jute Blend options. These fabrics combine recycled materials with natural jute fibers to create interesting textural variations with environmental benefits.
Designer Note: "The subtle variation in each shade makes them truly unique – no two installations look exactly alike, which our clients appreciate."
5. Sheer Linen with Slub
For spaces requiring light filtration without complete privacy, the Sheer Linen with Slub collection offers an elegant solution. The irregular slubs (thicker threads) create beautiful texture while maintaining a lightweight, luminous quality.
Designer Note: "This is my go-to recommendation for dining areas where clients want to maintain a connection to outdoor views while softening harsh sunlight."
The Material Advantage
What makes these Kravet fabrics particularly special is their thoughtful material composition. Many feature blended materials that combine the aesthetic advantages of natural fibers with the durability of synthetic components:
Natural Fibers: Cotton, linen, jute, and silk provide breathability, organic texture, and natural light diffusion
Performance Elements: Polyester, acrylic, and nylon add durability, fade resistance, and ease of maintenance
Specialty Additions: Metallic threads, recycled components, and performance treatments enhance both appearance and functionality
