There is something quietly powerful about a textile that doesn’t need to shout to transform a space.
This beautiful interior by Interior Design Studio and Furniture Showroom features Dolce by Raffles Textiles — a finely striped linen/cotton textile used here as a Roman blind. Soft, understated and incredibly elegant, it brings texture and warmth to the architectural simplicity of the room.
What I particularly love is the relationship between material, light and place. The natural character of the linen allows the changing daylight to become part of the interior — shifting the textile throughout the day rather than simply decorating the window.
Dolce is a beautiful example of why material selection matters.
Made from a predominantly linen blend and designed in a generous wide width, it speaks to the qualities I have always loved about natural textiles: tactility, subtle imperfection, longevity and an ability to sit beautifully within a space without overwhelming it.
And seeing Raffles textiles specified and living in finished interiors like this is always incredibly special.
