    Textiles play a more important role in our lives than many of us realize. To a great extent, our homes and their furnishings do much to shape our everyday living experience. Moreover, each country and culture creates living environments that reflect its social traditions, aesthetic preferences, political and economic circumstances and local ambience. This phenomenon is gracefully explored in ⁔he Art of Living: Textile Furnishings from the Permanent Collection,†an exhibition on view at the Textile Museum in Washington, D.C., through January 11. It comprises 17 furnishing fabrics from the museum⁳ large collection, including rugs, wall hangings, chair covers, cushions and other textiles used in domestic interiors.
