Understanding Fabric Durability & Use-Case
When choosing upholstery fabrics, it’s important to consider how often your bed or furniture will be used. Fabrics like high-Martindale velvets, chenilles, and performance blends offer excellent durability for everyday use. For pieces that see lighter traffic, you might opt for delicate linens, soft velvets or textured weaves, which bring visual elegance but require gentler care.
Natural vs Synthetic Fabrics: Pros & Cons
Natural fabrics (such as cotton, linen, wool blends) provide a breathable, eco-friendly feel, often with beautiful texture and authentic character. On the other hand, synthetic & blended fabrics (polyesters, velvets, performance fabrics) usually excel in stain resistance, colour fastness, and ease of maintenance. We offer a broad range so you can enjoy both beauty and practicality depending on your lifestyle.
Colour, Texture & Trend Insights
Fabric colour and texture can transform the mood of your room. Neutral tones like greys, creams, and taupes bring calm and versatility; jewel tones (emerald, sapphire, ruby) make a statement and feel luxurious; textured fabrics (bouclé, ribbed, tufted) add depth and tactile interest. We regularly update our fabric palette to reflect current interior design trends, while still offering timeless classics.
Care & Maintenance Tips
To preserve your upholstery fabric’s look and feel: avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight to reduce fading; clean spills immediately by blotting (don’t rub); vacuum gently using soft brush attachments; rotate cushion covers or fabric panels to ensure even wear. These simple steps help extend fabric life and keep your custom-made pieces looking fresh.
Sample Swatches & Customisation
We believe choosing the right fabric starts with seeing and feeling it. That’s why we offer sample swatches so you can test colour, texture, and how a fabric looks in your actual lighting. Whether you want a bespoke pattern, a special fabric blend, or a unique trim, our customisation options let you make your bed (or headboard / ottoman / blanket box) truly yours.
