The color popularity of home textiles further affects and determines the design, selection, production and application of popular fabrics. In recent years, the fashion trends of home textile fabrics are mainly reflected in the following five aspects.

1. Functionality and high technology

With the strengthening of environmental awareness, people’s requirements for textiles have gradually expanded from soft and comfortable, moisture-absorbent and breathable, windproof and rainproof to mildew-proof, anti-moth, anti-odor, anti-ultraviolet, anti-radiation, flame-retardant, anti-static, health-care and non-toxic, etc. In terms of functionality and environmental protection, the development and application of various new fabrics and the development of new processes and new technologies have gradually enabled these requirements to be realized. Functional home textiles refer to home textiles with special functions, such as safety functions (antibacterial, flame retardant, anti-static, etc.), comfort functions (soft, hygroscopic, breathable, dry, smooth, etc.), hygienic functions (physiotherapy, anti-bedsore, Anti-mites, anti-mosquitoes, etc.). At present, my country’s functional home textiles mainly focus on health care functions, such as antibacterial, anti-odor, anti-mite products and healthy sleep and bedroom supplies.

1. Antibacterial home textile fabrics

Textile fabrics with antibacterial functions play an extremely important role in preventing the invasion of germs. Daily necessities made with antibacterial functional textile fabrics have gradually attracted people’s attention. With the development of science and technology, they have radiated widely and deeply into the details of life. middle. For example, the use of textiles and household items made of anti-mite and anti-bacterial fibers can not only suppress and repel mites, effectively preventing the occurrence of skin diseases related to dust mites, but can also be anti-bacterial and inhibit the reproduction of bacteria, thereby improving people’s living environment. Purpose.

Antibacterial home textiles can be obtained by coating or resin treatment on the fabric. This finishing technology is commonly used for natural pure textiles. Antibacterial agents can also be added to the fiber stock solution for blending and spinning, or ordinary fibers can be grafted with antibacterial agents to produce antibacterial fibers, and then the antibacterial fibers can be woven to obtain antibacterial home textiles. Currently widely used antibacterial products include quilts, cotton batting, sheets, towels, terry quilts, cotton blankets, carpets, bathrobes, rags, sofa cloths, wall coverings, mops, tablecloths, napkins, shower curtains, etc.

2. Antistatic home textile fabrics

In the field of home textiles, synthetic fibers make up for the shortage of natural fibers and are widely used. However, they have poor hygroscopicity and are easy to accumulate static electricity. The woven textiles are easy to absorb dust, stain, and have poor air permeability. In severe cases, they can cause electric shock and even cause death. fire. Therefore, people hope that textiles can have antistatic properties, that is, the fabric itself can eliminate static electricity. There are currently two antistatic methods: one is to perform antistatic finishing on the fabric. In the finishing, an antistatic finishing agent is used to introduce a layer of hydrophilic film on the surface of the fiber, which can improve the hygroscopicity of the fabric and reduce the friction coefficient. and surface specific resistance; the second is to first make the fibers into conductive fibers, and then weave the conductive fibers into fabrics. Antistatic fabrics have been widely used in home textile products such as bedding and curtains.

3. UV-resistant home textile fabrics

Ultraviolet rays are harmful to the human body. If people are exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, they will produce dermatitis, pigmentation, accelerated skin aging, and even cancer. If textiles can be made into UV-resistant textiles, the harm to the human body will be greatly reduced. There are two treatment methods for anti-UV radiation: one is post-finishing; the other is directly making anti-UV fibers and then weaving the fibers into fabrics. The so-called anti-UV fiber is made by melting and spinning UV shielding agent into anti-UV fiber. The matrix is made of synthetic fiber or artificial fiber. The fabric of this fiber has a shielding rate of more than 95% of UV rays. It is suitable for making curtains and other household anti-UV fibers. textile.

2. Pattern

The design style of fabrics often makes breakthroughs in style techniques in pattern, pattern, and color design. It strives to be fashionable and popular with new features, and also pays attention to the ingenious combination of various styles to reflect diversified styles.

The currently widely popular fabric patterns are processed through jacquard, printing, embroidery, flower planting, embossing, cut flower, burnt flower, baked flower, spray flower, appliqué, grinding flower and other processes. For example, printed fabrics are special products that combine technology and art. In some cases, the commercial value of printed fabrics depends largely on pattern design and printing effects. Novel and unique pattern designs can give fabrics vitality. , the same fabric, printed with different patterns, reflects different wearing effects. There are many new changes in the printing process, such as the use of paint, gold and silver thread, pad dyeing, etc., combined with jacquard, to create rich visual effects.

The organizational structure of linen fabrics varies. The composite organization produces stripes and squares. The use of organization and stripes brings a rich appearance. The patterns combined with yarn-dyed weaving techniques make the linen fabrics richer in color and pattern.

In silk jacquard fabrics, different raw materials, threads or structures enhance the contrast of the fabric surface, showing a relief effect, which is beautiful and dynamic.The delicate jacquard pattern gives the fabric a flowing and luxurious feel. Colorful pleat styles are also an important expression of silk fabrics. Medium-strong twisted silk yarns that are combined and twisted multiple times are used as weft yarns to produce a wrinkled effect on the surface of the fabric through twisting and shrinkage. The silk stripe effect is still popular. The combination of plain weave, twill weave, and changing textures forms a changeable vertical stripe effect on the surface of the fabric, with a unique style.

3. Three-dimensional

Three-dimensional fabrics are also a popular focus in home textiles. In terms of fabric composition, pure cotton occupies an important position in the product, and the double-sided structure of cotton fabrics is valued. Double-layer jacquard sandwich weaving, or through the use of double-layer tissue with yarn and finishing, the front and back sides are closely connected. But the style is different, one side is delicate and smooth, and the other side is plump and soft. The composite process combines two fabrics and performs double-sided and double-color at the same time to increase the effect. Some of the surfaces of the fabrics have been colored and coated, and some have been washed, giving the fabrics a double-sided, two-color appearance and protective function. The double-layer structure of the linen fabric forms a double-sided fabric with a thick and crisp feel. A striped pattern is formed by matching colors or using different colors of warp and weft yarns.

4. Blended

In order to enrich the style of fabrics, blended and interwoven fibers are more widely used, such as blending of natural colored cotton with linen or wool. The application of bamboo fiber in cotton fabrics has been strengthened, giving the fabrics a new appearance and inherent quality. The proportion of cotton and traditional chemical fibers has changed, such as blending with polyester, which has shown a downward trend, but colored polyester is often used for inserts, bringing various stripes and glitter effects. The characteristics of flax, ramie and hemp are fully expressed. The main fibers used in blending or interweaving are cotton, viscose, tencel, bamboo fiber, silk, etc., such as flax and cotton blended interwoven, flax and viscose interwoven jacquard, hemp and cotton Blended. Hemp and Tencel are intertwined, using a satin structure. The surface shows the luster of Tencel, and the moisture absorption, breathability, health care and other functions of hemp are exerted inside. High-count linen yarn is interwoven with jacquard, and the pattern is more delicate and realistic.

In the use of raw materials, the trend of diversification has been demonstrated to a certain extent, such as the blending or interweaving of silk and chemical fiber, cotton, wool, linen and other fiber raw materials has been further reflected. Mixing a variety of raw materials improves the performance of the fabric: silk and linen are interwoven, which not only improves the feel of the fabric, but also gives the fabric a natural style of linen texture and reduces the shrinkage of the fabric; the combination of soybean fiber and silk achieves softness and brightness of shine and light drape.

5. Thin and light

Home textile crystal fabrics show natural, soft and comfortable properties. Light and thin fabrics are the new favorite in the home textile market, showing a refined and elegant style. The soft and clean appearance and simple stripes are important manifestations of light cotton fabrics; the light fabric style shows diverse texture effects, light fleece finishing, slight distressing, imitation woolen effect, rustic country style, etc. Fabrics pursue the innovation of traditional styles, focusing on the combination of colors, raw materials, yarns, patterns, feel, styles and other aspects.

The appearance of the light linen fabric breaks through the tradition. Through the rich changes in colors and patterns, it presents a simple and elegant feeling. The exquisite texture is further strengthened, and the improvement and improvement of its comfort are particularly important. Integrating and developing the unique texture of hemp with other fibers has become one of the keys to the development of hemp fabrics to adapt to trends.
