How to Choose an Upholstery Fabric
Every decorate loves scoring an amazing flea market chair. While past-its-prime upholstery is often
part of the deal, design hounds know reupholstering is fun and rewarding. With
the right upholstery dubai al quoz– and
upholstery pro on your side – you can personalize your furniture while giving
it the designer look you crave. Here’s how to jump in.
Step 1: Choose a fabric
Finding
the right fabric for your chair is about personal choice, not design rules.
(After all, the biggest rule is there are none!)
If
you’re a traditionalist, by all means, match upholstery fabric options to your
furniture’s design era and style. If you’ve got a gorgeous Berger in the French
Empire style, a historically on-point choice would be an ornate brocade or silk damask upholstery fabric, for instance.
Work with a shortlist of 3 to 5
fabrics you like best, and bring swatches to consult with your nearest
upholstery in al quoz.

Step 2: Make
a budget
Consider
your budget. Upholstery fabrics run the gamut from bargain, to big bucks.
Eliminate any shortlist options that are way out of your budget. But maintain
an open mind on options only slightly out of your budget: your upholster may
have some tricks for cutting back on fabric yardage.
Step 3: Hire
an upholsterer
Find
a great upholsterer. The best ways to find a reliable pro are:
·
Word of mouth from people whose design sense you admire;
·
Affiliation with a company you trust, who will put their
reputation behind their upholsterer (ensuring – or better yet, guaranteeing –
customer satisfaction);
·
Local newspaper or magazine “best of” lists. Be sure to read the
comments underneath the article, and scan Yelp reviews, as part of your
research. Were their customers happy? If not, how did they respond to customer
complaints?
Your
upholsterer will provide feedback on how much yardage they’d need to cover the
piece in each of your fabric options (amounts vary, since some patterns need
lining up). This will help narrow your choices by budget.
