Abstract: Aims: This study explores the adaptation and reinterpretation of Andalusian ornamental motifs for contemporary upholstery fabric design.It aims to bridge the gap between historical decorative elements and modern textile applications by utilizing digital printing and material synthesis techniques.The research seeks to enhance the aesthetic and functional value of home textiles by integrating Andalusian geometric patterns, arabesques, and calligraphic elements into upholstery fabrics.Sample: The study engaged five experts in clothing and textiles, all faculty members specializing in textile design and material synthesis.Their evaluations provided critical insights into the aesthetic and functional suitability of the proposed designs.Methodology: Employing a descriptive-analytical approach, the study examines Andalusian art's decorative elements from Islamic architecture spanning eight centuries.These elements were extracted, analyzed, and transformed into contemporary ornamental compositions.The study also incorporated an experimental phase, in which Andalusian-inspired designs were applied to upholstery fabrics through digital printing techniques.Expert evaluations assessed the aesthetic and functional effectiveness of the proposed designs.Results: The findings indicate that specific designs (1, 3, 4, 6) successfully captured the essence of Andalusian art, receiving a 100% rating for aesthetic integrity, ornamentation, balance, color harmony, and rhythmic movement.Other designs (2, 5) achieved a 75% rating.From a functional perspective, designs (3, 4, 6) were deemed highly effective in attracting consumer interest, while material synthesis techniques were wellreceived across multiple designs.Furthermore, the results confirm that the proposed designs align with modern furnishing trends and possess commercial viability.
