dining chair fabric
The right dining chair fabric can turn a tired set of seats into the centerpiece of your table. Because dining chairs face spills, crumbs and constant use, choosing upholstery fabric for dining chairs means balancing everyday toughness with the look you love.
What to Look for in Dining Chair Fabric
Durability
Choose durable upholstery fabric with a tight weave and a high double rub count, which indicates how well a fabric resists abrasion. Medium- to heavyweight cloth also holds its shape when stretched over a seat.
Easy Cleaning
Performance fabric and stain resistant upholstery fabric are smart picks for homes with kids, pets or frequent guests. Check the cleaning code before you buy so you know whether water-based or solvent cleaners are safe.
Style and Texture
Small-scale patterns and mid-tone colors help disguise daily wear, while solids offer a clean, modern look. Texture matters too: velvets, tweeds and woven jacquards each bring a different feel to the table.
