woven upholstery fabric
A well-made sofa or armchair needs a cover that can keep up with real life, and woven upholstery fabric delivers. The pattern and texture are built into the weave itself rather than printed on top. As a result, these fabrics tend to hold their look, stand up to daily wear and add depth to any room.
Popular Weaves to Know
- Jacquard upholstery fabric: intricate woven patterns, from florals to geometrics, ideal for accent chairs and headboards.
- Tweed upholstery fabric: a nubby, multicolored texture with a relaxed, tailored feel.
- Chenille upholstery fabric: a soft, plush pile that feels cozy on sofas and ottomans.
What to Look For
Durability
For family rooms, dining chairs and other high-traffic seating, choose a heavy duty upholstery fabric with a tight, dense weave. Check the abrasion rating when a listing includes one.
Fiber and Care
Natural fibers breathe and feel soft. Synthetics and blends often resist stains and fading. Review the care instructions before you cut, and order a little extra if you need to match a pattern.
