Abstract

The handbooks and magazines about decorating that were published in England and North America during the19th Century meant that the choice of textiles played a key role in shaping the environment. Artistic, craftsman and industrial textiles shared domestic space and in each situation, it was advised that their social value should be directly proportional to their artistic value. This article is based on the literature designed to serve as an aid to house decoration and the bibliography of works that have previously explored this subject. It addresses this relationship and seeks to show that through industrial advances and the growth in the use of industrialized fabrics, artistic values were transmitted to the textiles produced by industry with the aim of ensuring they had a better acceptance among the customers.
