"It's so cold 🥶!!!"
Thank you for always reading the SHARK ATTACK blog.
It's suddenly gotten cold, and the Yamato store staff are dressing up in layers.
And now it's that time of year when we start to miss spending time at home even more.
Because we lead busy lives, we want our home to be a special place where we can truly relax.
During this chilly winter season, why not add some variety to your interior and bring in some visual and tactile warmth?
The theme of this blog is:
❄️ Winter is coming. The magic of fabric brings warmth into your space
Fabric materials with rich textures, such as velour and wool, not only raise the temperature of the heating but also add a warm and colorful touch to the atmosphere of the room.
SHARK ATTACK carries a wide selection of warm vintage items, mainly sourced from Europe.
Vintage fabric items, which are not bound by trends, are not only warm, but also bring to your space the history and story behind each item, as well as the unique texture that comes from wear and tear.
This time, we will focus on fabric items that will elevate your winter life and soothe your soul every time you touch them, and introduce their appeal and how to choose them.
You're sure to find a treasure that suits your lifestyle and helps you spend the cold winter in a fulfilling way.
I. The deep luster and exquisite feel of velvet, a timeless material
First, I would like to introduce brushed materials such as velour and velvet, which will add a dramatic look to your winter interior.
These materials have a long history, having been woven using high-quality materials such as silk in the past and loved by royalty and aristocrats in medieval Europe. Even today, their elegant luster and weightiness have a special appeal that can instantly elevate any space.
The greatest feature of velour is the way its short pile catches the light, creating a different look depending on the angle.
The deep color of the vintage velour gives off a soft luster under indoor lighting at night, creating a painting-like beauty. The soft, fluffy feel of the cut pile also gives you a sense of supreme comfort, as if your mind is at ease with every touch.
Simply adding a single piece of velour or velvet fabric will create a luxurious yet warm atmosphere in your living room or dining room.
The subtle changes in texture that occur with use, a feature unique to vintage items, are also part of the charm of this material.
II. Warm and fluffy. Vintage wool gives you the ultimate sense of security
Just as we Japanese feel a sense of familiarity with kotatsu and futons, wool and other materials give us a sense of security when it comes to furniture.
Wool fabric is the ultimate way to soothe your body when exposed to the winter wind.
Wool is a natural fiber made from sheep's wool and is known for its inherently high heat retention. Unlike modern high-performance materials, the warm appearance and feel of natural fibers is particularly noticeable in cold seasons.
The wool used in vintage furniture is attractive for its unique fluffiness and three-dimensionality.
The loose weave and knitting of fabrics allows for plenty of air to be trapped, creating a sense of warmth just by looking at them. The natural, rustic look of natural fibers also adds a sense of familiarity to furniture with sharp designs, creating a relaxed atmosphere in any space.
Even though it has a simple design, the warmth of the wool material will make it the focal point of your living room, creating a cozy space where family and friends will naturally gather.
III. The softness of "fabric lighting" creates a visual warmth
The warmth of fabric materials is not just a pleasant feel and appearance, but also provides a visual sense of security when combined with light.
During the long winter nights, the light of a lamp placed in the corner of a room gently envelops our lives. This is where lighting with a fabric shade comes in handy.
If the shade itself is made of fabric, the light that leaks out will be softly diffused, reducing the glare of direct light. The tone of the light will be calmed by passing it through fabric, and if the light is warm , it will spread a soft warmth like a candle throughout the room.
The gentle "warmth" that we sense visually is what is so appealing about it, as it gently soothes the hearts of us adults at the end of a tiring day.
IV. Creating a comfortable space for adults using warm fabrics
How can you effectively incorporate the fabric materials we introduced earlier into your lifestyle?
We'll give you some styling tips.
1. Add drama to a modern space with a touch of velour
Many homes these days tend to have simple, modern interiors, but adding a piece of heavy, shiny material like velour or velvet can add depth and playfulness to the space.
For example, in a space with inorganic walls and flooring,
