Short answer: fabric furnishing terms on the live pages describe print, headings, fabric weight and lining, so a brief can say exactly which cushion or curtain piece you mean. Closures, stitching, polyester-family fabrics, seamless repeats and colourways are in the fabric, board and wallpaper terms.
