headliner fabric for furniture
Looking for a soft, finished surface that hides seams and dresses up hard edges? Headliner fabric for furniture is a smart, often overlooked choice. Originally made to line car ceilings, this flexible furniture lining fabric is frequently foam-backed and brings a smooth, upholstered look to cabinets, headboards, panels and more.
Why Use Headliner Fabric on Furniture
A thin foam backing adds subtle padding and helps mask minor imperfections in wood or particleboard. Many types of headliner material stretch well around curves and corners, which can make them easier to work with than some traditional upholstery fabric.

What to Look For
Check the backing type, face texture and color before you buy. Decide whether your project calls for a foam-backed headliner or an unbacked headliner cloth, and plan to use a compatible adhesive for a clean, lasting bond. Ordering a little extra yardage leaves room for trimming and wrapping edges.
