5 Key Factors to Consider When Choosing Upholstery Fabric


You have a lot of choices when picking out upholstery fabric – at The Fabric, we offer hundreds of in-stock options and thousands of special-order fabric options that you can get  nearest upholstery in al quoz store or buy online. Since new upholstery can lend itself to a “commitment”, either in the amount of time you’ll keep the piece and/or what you want to spend, there can be quite a few factors to take into account when looking at that wide range of upholstery fabric options….and our fabric store is here to help!
Besides always keeping in mind how you live and who will be using the piece with the new fabric, think about these five important factors when you are selecting upholstery Dubai al quoz fabric for your home:
Blending in versus standing out: Ensuring you choose the right upholstery fabric will be easier when you look at the current decor in the room and know whether you’re trying to blend the new fabric in with the existing colour palette or have it be more contrasting and stand out. Want upholstery fabric that goes seamlessly with gray walls with cool undertones? Consider something in a soft blue or mint green. Looking for something bolder? Choose a pattern featuring a range of terra cotta or citron hues.
Level of fabric durability needed: Is your new fabric going on an everyday piece that will get lots of use, or do you have children/pets in your home? Focus on the durability. We help our customers with this by labelling fabrics with the RUB COUNT if the manufacturer has tested the fabric. If the fabric has a 15,000 to 30,000 rub count, it is considered to be suitable for residential use. A fabric for commercial use will have a rub count of 30,000 or more.
Size & shape: Picking upholstery fabric for a sofa requires a different approach than for a statement chair. Larger pieces generally benefit from a fabric that’s a neutral/solid colour (easier to enjoy – and live with – longer), whereas pillows or an accent piece provide a great way to incorporate patterns or colours that may be a little trendier/eye catching. Also, take into account that it’s more difficult to make fabric with a bolder texture or pattern closely follow a curvier-shaped item, so solid upholstery fabric is generally a better choice for something with angles.
Potential to fade: When purchasing upholstery fabric, it’s very important to consider the room – and location within the room – that it’s being placed in. Does the room get a lot of sunlight? If so, it would be advisable to invest in a fabric that is already lightly toned rather than dark coloured. We are one of the few retail stores in the country that can sell Sunbrella fabrics directly from the mill – Sunbrella fabrics can be used inside as well as outside and are fade-resistant. Another brand to consider that you can find at The Fabric is Inside-Out, which is a high-quality indoor/outdoor line. One thing to keep in mind: Don’t use spun polyesters for inside upholstery use – they might have pretty designs but most manufacturers of these products will not stand behind your chair if it wears out quickly. 
Cleanability: Not surprisingly, many of our customers are very concerned about the cleanability of a fabric they’re considering.  Although most fabrics recommend dry-cleaning, if you have children, pets or messy friends or family, we recommend CRYPTON fabrics.  You can spill a glass of red wine on the fabric and wipe if right off.  Paw prints, crayon, ink and other items can also easily be cleaned off.
