PS I forgot to mention that my husband\'s curtain shop is in Germany and so I am very familiar with the use of the word \"Dekos\".

Comment: "I suspect that this is the right answer. In the event I just used "soft furnishings", because later in my text there were references to Dekosets, which were sets of ready-made curtains and matching cushions. Thanks for all ideas."

Dekorationsstoff m (Textil) / tapestry, decoration stuff, decorative fabric (Ernst) - though I don\'t think I\'d take the \'decoration stuff\' too seriously.
