The choice of upholstery fabric is not only a matter of aesthetics - your choice is also about comfort and longevity. So whether you're reupholstering old furniture or refreshing your space with a new piece of furniture, always choose wisely!

When it comes to upholstery fabric, consider these factors:

  1. Durability and Usage:
    • High-traffic areas need durable fabrics (microfiber, canvas, tightly woven cotton).
    • Delicate fabrics work well for decorative pieces.
  2. Fabric Content:
    • Natural Fibers: Cotton, linen, and wool are breathable and comfortable.
    • Synthetic Fibers: Polyester, nylon, and acrylic are durable and stain-resistant.
    • Blends: Combine natural and synthetic fibers for the best of both worlds.
  3. Color, Pattern, and Texture:
    • Neutral Tones: Versatile and timeless.
    • Bold Colors and Patterns: Make a statement.
    • Texture: Smooth fabrics (silk, velvet) or textured fabrics (tweed, chenille).
  4. Sunlight Exposure:
    • Fade Resistance: Choose fabrics that won’t dull in sunlight.
    • Outdoor Fabrics: UV-resistant for patio furniture.
  5. Maintenance:
    • Easy to Clean: Opt for stain-resistant fabrics.
    • Removable Covers: Convenient for washing or replacement.
