Textiles come in thousands of styles, so sofa fabrics or sofa cushion fabric can look casual, gorgeous, formal, or fun. It depends on whether your choice fits your current decor.
If you choose a patterned fabric, pay attention to the proportions. Large-scale patterns may be too strong in a small room, or may not focus on the sofa in a pleasing way. A small pattern in a large room can be the exact opposite.
Other factors to consider when choosing upholstery fabrics
Cotton is a natural fiber that is the mainstay of the sofa for several practical reasons. First, cotton is one of the most cost-effective options. Second, cotton comes in great patterns and colors, making it versatile. The colors and patterns of cotton are almost endless.
But the downside of cotton is that it is prone to stains, so you should professionally treat any cotton sofa before taking it home to keep it looking fresh. Alternatively, opt for an intricate pattern whose stain resistance is such that it's a professional concealer.
The weave of linen is slightly looser than cotton, giving it its unique texture, ranging from smooth and shiny to thick and lumpy. The tricky thing about linen is that, like linen clothes, it can wrinkle and stain easily. That's why high-performance linen is our go-to for sofas that need to stand up to high traffic. Performance linen is a more structured fabric than regular linen, so it retains its shape well while still feeling soft and comfortable.
Linen is also a common choice for sofa covers because it adapts to everyday life without sacrificing style. Not only does it offer great convenience for a quick toss in the washing machine, but it's customizable if you're eager to experiment or change quickly with the seasons.
The velvet is luxurious, silky, and tactile. It colors very well and produces uniquely rich shades with a lot of depth and richness. The downside of expensive silk velvets is that they are easy to dye and can be expensive. Especially look for velvet woven from cleanable, high-performance polyester to resist fading, squeezing, and stains.
