What does a home textile designer do?

A Home Textile Designer creates designs and patterns for textiles used in home furnishings, such as bedding, curtains, upholstery, and towels. They work with colors, fabrics, textures, and trends to develop appealing and functional products. Their responsibilities often include researching market trends, sketching design concepts, selecting materials, and collaborating with manufacturers to bring their ideas to life. Home Textile Designers may also use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create digital patterns and prototypes.
