Sourcing textiles and curtains from China: for homes, villas and hotels

Textiles are a category with a huge choice in China and noticeable savings, especially across the volume of a villa or hotel. But textiles are demanding on composition, density and tailoring — and for hospitality, on standards too. Let us break down how to source textiles and curtains from China.

What is shipped from China

• Curtains — drapes, sheers, roller and Roman blinds, rails and mechanisms;
• Bed textiles — linen, bedspreads, pillows, duvets;
• Bath textiles — towels, robes, mats;
• Table textiles — tablecloths, napkins;
• Decorative textiles — cushions, throws, upholstery fabrics.

For villas, hotels and restaurants, this lets you keep a consistent style and stay within budget across a large volume.

What to look at when choosing

• Fabric composition. Natural, synthetic or blended — this drives looks, feel and care.
• Density and weave quality. For curtains and bedding, density matters (e.g. weave density for linen); cheap fabric loses its look fast.
• Shrinkage and colour fastness. Confirm how the fabric behaves after washing.
• Tailoring and hardware. Stitch quality, eyelets, tapes — what is visible up close.

Special requirements for hotels (HORECA)

In hospitality, textiles work intensively and follow norms:

• flame retardancy — often mandatory for curtains and textiles in public areas;
• durability — resistance to frequent washing;
• hygiene and batch consistency — important for hotel standards.

These requirements are fixed in the specification and checked on samples.

Custom tailoring and samples

Curtains and many items are made to your sizes and fabrics. So what is critical:

• exact dimensions (windows, beds) — fixed in the specification;
• agreeing fabric, colour and density by sample before production;
• an approved sample as the acceptance reference.

Quality control and logistics

A pre-shipment inspection checks: conformity of fabric and colour to the sample, density, tailoring and hardware quality, dimensions, completeness and packaging. Textiles are light and compact cargo, convenient to consolidate with other items; for large batches, sea freight is worthwhile. Add logistics and customs charges to the price.

How much you can save

Savings on textiles depend on category and volume, but in outfitting a project (where textiles come in hundreds of sets) direct factory sourcing gives a noticeable difference against local prices. Dream View’s commission is fixed — 10%, factory prices are transparent.
