Medieval Upholstery Fabric

For a medieval period room or furniture item, upholstery fabric should ideally be a heavy weave or velvet, and often looks best with medieval motif's such as fleur de lys and rampant lions.

Medieval Curtain Fabric

Traditionally, in medieval buildings, heavy tapestry or velvet fabrics were hung over window and door openings, to reduce the draught and conserve heat from the open fire. Medieval curtains in this style can follow this trend, or simply create the medieval atmosphere through the use of medieval designs such as trellis, diamonds, fleur de lys etc.
