Designers often use natural fiber fabrics such as silk, linen and wool when decorating the finest homes. Synthetic fibers can sometimes resemble the look of natural fibers; however, nothing synthetic has the depth of color or luster of silk. Cotton, another fiber that is widely available, is both economical and can be woven into a wide variety of fabrics; from simple muslin to the most luxurious Egyptian cotton bed linens.
