Begin with Confidence

Choosing upholstery fabric is as much about feeling as function. Consider texture, durability, scale of pattern and how colour will sit within your room. Whether you are covering a statement armchair or upholstering a sofa for everyday living, our guide is designed to help you choose beautifully — and wisely.

Looking for Something Specific...

Upholstery Fabric FAQs

Warm, earthy neutrals and richly textured weaves such as bouclé are leading the way. Designers are also embracing bold jewel tones alongside sustainable, recycled and high-performance textiles.

Consider how your sofa will be used — whether for everyday family living, entertaining guests, or occasional seating — and choose a fabric that reflects the level of durability, comfort and maintenance required. You can browse by plain upholstery fabrics or floral upholstery fabrics to suit your style.

High-performance recycled yarns such as Kirkwall and Montague are exceptionally robust, offering excellent abrasion resistance along with built-in stain-repelling technology designed to stand up to everyday life.

Look for high-performance Easyclean fabrics with a tight weave and Martindale rating of 40,000+. Collections such as Opera and Cadenza offer durable, practical options. You can explore our Easyclean upholstery fabrics for pet-friendly choices.

Yes — our Easyclean fabrics are eco-friendly, PFAS-free, and made without harsh chemical treatments, making them safe for everyday family use while maintaining exceptional performance.

No — modern Easyclean technology is highly advanced, so fabrics retain the same soft, natural handle as traditional upholstery fabrics, without stiffness or a coated feel.

The fibres are treated with a water-based finish before being woven, helping to repel liquids so they cannot bond to the fabric. This protection lasts for the lifetime of the textile.

For everyday domestic upholstery, we recommend fabrics with at least 25,000 Martindale rubs. For busy family homes or high-traffic areas, 40,000+ ensures excellent durability and longevity.

The best upholstery fabric depends on your lifestyle and aesthetic. Durable weaves and high-performance fabrics are ideal for everyday use, while linen and velvet offer a more decorative finish. Explore our complete upholstery fabric collection to find the perfect option for your sofa.

We generally do not recommend machine-washing upholstery linens, as laundering can distort the fabric and affect both colour and texture. Professional cleaning is typically advised.

Pure linen is breathable, exceptionally strong and naturally temperature-regulating. It develops a relaxed, lived-in patina over time, becoming softer and more characterful with use. Discover our linen upholstery fabrics for a timeless finish.

Linen offers a relaxed, natural and contemporary look, while velvet provides a plush texture, rich depth of colour and a more luxurious, formal feel. Explore both linen and velvet upholstery fabrics.
