Fabrics

Most upholstered pieces are upholstered in some type of fabric. Fabrics offer that warmth and comfort you need when you’re relaxing—typically on a piece of seating like a sofa or a dining chair. But different fabrics have different benefits, all depending on your unique tastes!

Linen fabrics are some of the most popular choices—and for good reason! Linens are lightweight and come in nearly every color you can imagine. As a result, linen fabrics can work with almost any design style—formal, casual, modern, farmhouse, bohemian, you name it.

Velvet is a bold (but popular!) choice. Velvet tends to be a bit heavier than linen, but that gives it the element of lushness to it. There is a sense of plush richness to velvet—no matter the color—that makes it stand out in any setting. Because of this, velvet is a perfect fit for those who love bold, contemporary, and glam themes.

Finally, there’s microfiber. Microfiber is lightweight, durable, and fits with most interior design styles. But what makes microfiber a popular choice is that it can mimic the look of leather! It serves as a more affordable alternative for those who love the look of leather, but want the feel of fabric.
