STRAND 4 Students will identify and explain various textiles.
Interior Design 2 Core
Standard 1 Identify various textiles and factors that lead to the selection of specific textiles. Identify natural textiles (cotton, linen, silk, wool) - come from plants or animals. Insert indicator text Identify manufactured textiles
Synthetic - made with chemicals (acrylic, nylon, olefin, polyester)
Cellulosic - made from plant material chemically converted to a soluble compound (acetate, rayon) Identify basic weaves and finishes (plain, twill, satin, Jacquard, purpose of finishes).
Image: Weave name; Description; Characteristics
Plain; Formed by interlacing yams one over, one under in regular sequence; Simple basicweave that wears evenly.
Twill; Formed by "floating" one warp thread overtwo or three weft threads, then under one. This creates a diagonal wale; Produces a firm, strong fabric with a visible diagonal line.
Satin; Formed by :floating one warp thread over four or more weft yarns then uner one thread. The order of interlacing is staggered so the result is a smooth face with no wales; The floats gives satin fabric its sheen.
Jacquard; An intricate, variegated weave made by lifting any number of warp threads and any number of weft threads to create a woven pattern in the fabric;The weaves are created on a Jacquard loom. Creates brocades, tapestries, and damask. Used for daraperies and upholstery.
STRAND 5 Students will identify and explain various flooring and wall treatments.
Interior Design 2 Core
Standard 1 Identify floor treatments and factors that lead to their selection.
Discuss the characteristics of flooring types:
Hard: durable, dent resistance, long lasting (wood - strip, plank, parquet; tile, ceramic tile, porcelain tile, and natural stone - marble, granite, slate, travertine)
Engineered: similar to hard wood with a plywood underlayer, wears well, no gaps, no weather change, no need to refinish.
Resilient: durable, wears well, returns to original shape after stress, quieter to walk on (vinyl) Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Soft: hardest to clean, will wear out, made from woven fibers (carpet, rugs).
Discuss characteristics of carpet fibers.
nylon - most widely used, strong & durable, resists crushing and matting, good color retention
olefin - inexpensive, lacks resiliency, easy to clean
polyester - durable, soft, lacks resiliency, not crush resistant
wool - long life, great resilience, resists crushing, soil resistant
Discuss carpet terms and how they affect quality and selection
pile - length of the yarns
density - closeness of yarns
fiber - a natural or synthetic substance processed into a thread or yarn of continuous length
Standard 2 Identify ceiling and wall treatments and factors that lead to their selection.
Paint is darker when dry. Choose a paint color that is slightly lighter than the one desired.
Discuss paint types
latex/water based - quick drying, easy to apply, easy cleanup with water;
oil based - durable, must use a solvent to clean up
Discuss paint finishes
flat - reflects very little light, least washable.
eggshell - small amount of shine, more washable than flat.
satin - smooth, velvety look with a bit more gloss, easy to keep clean.
semi-gloss - used most in residences, subtle shine, very washable.
high gloss - shiniest, most durable and easiest to clean but shows more imperfections on the wall.
Discuss appropriate wallpaper and terminology.
Wallpaper - traditional paper, need to use paste.
Pre-pasted - paper with a dry coating of paste that only needs to be moistened.
Peel and stick - easy to remove, flat or textured walls.

Use of natural light improves health and sense of well-being.
Discuss types of artificial light.
incandescent - gives a yellow glow to rooms, uses more energy than other lighting types
fluorescent - gives a blue glow and diffused, shadow less light
halogen - expensive but long-lasting, bright, white light, most like sunlight, very hot bulbs
LED-light emitting diode - More expensive bulb but can last up to 25 years, no heat, consumes less energy, more cost effective.
Discuss the uses of artificial light.
general - provides enough light so you can see everything in the room.
ceiling - lights mounted on the ceiling including surface mounted, semi- surface mounted, pen- dants, and chandeliers
recessed - light fixtures hidden in the ceiling such as can lights or eyeball lights
