How To Pick A Fabric For Your Fabric Suite

When choosing a fabric for your new suite its important to bear in mind the location of the suite and the preferred look. For example while the velvet as shown on our Fabric Chesterfield Sofa creates a great statement piece it may not be the best choice for heavy use.

For those looking for somethingĀ a little more hard wearing we offer a wide range of linens and heavy duty weaves in colours from white to black and everything inbetween. A major benefit of these plain fabrics is the ease with which you can match them to other furnishings.

You should also bear in mind how the fabric will look on a finished piece. if a striped fabric is chosen bear in mind how the stripes will join up and whether you expect them to run horizontally or vertically. For this reason we would never suggest a stripe on a chesterfield sofa as the pattern becomes lost in the buttoning.
