ALL ABOUT LOOKS




This cute fabric and upholstery store has the perfect name, All About Looks.  Without knowing what this store was it could be mistaken for  a clothing boutique or a store that sold make up but what this store really focus’ on is the interior of a home or office space.
             Owned by a mom and her two daughters, All About Looks was a very welcoming store. Being a sister and daughter myself, this story they had really caught my attention and I found it to be very interesting that one day they just wanted to start up their own little fabric store. This trip was more interesting then the  Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute in Lubbock Texas, because it was more relatable to what I look forward to working with. Being able to see the new fabrics that are coming out such as cork and new laser printed material was eye opening.
            As an interior designer you need to be able to keep up with the new fads that are arising and still be able to give your client what they want and know what will work best. Knowing that there are automated blinds now and that blinds with strings are going to be banned from any interior space is something many people out in the world do not know. Going to All About Looks was informative about fabrics, draperies and knowing that its hard to find a good sewer and upholstery person who knows what they are doing.
            Being in the interior design field takes a lot of work and knowledge about fabrics, requirements for different office spaces such as fire retardant, and just by doing a little bit of research you will be able to look up this information.
