Selecting the right sofa fabric – An Overview

The best part about customized sofa sets is that you can not only choose the fabric but also the shape and size depending on the existing décor of your room and the space you have at your disposal. If you are planning to "re-upholster" what is the kind of fabric you are planning to invest in? So, read on for better insight.

What should you consider before buying the fabric?

There are a couple of aspects that you must take into account prior to giving the final nod to the shopkeeper when you are selecting the sofa fabric. These are as follows-

How old are the members of the house

Although, this may appear to have no direct connection with selecting a sofa fabric in reality it does. How is it so? If there are older couples and you have no kids around, investing in delicate fabrics make sense.

Opting for white hues and lighter shades will never go out of style provided you know how to maintain the same. Alternatively, if you have children to spill tea, coffee or milk or food on these fabrics, darker colors are definitely a better choice.

Choosing sofa upholstery

When it comes to the material, how old the furniture is matters. For instance, neutral tones of linen and cotton will complement traditional furniture. For a modern contemporary look, opt for bright colors. Tribal and floral prints are also in vogue and offer Bohemian feel. When it comes to the choice of fabric, you can explore the following-

• Linen

For slipcovers and for living rooms that exude a French feel, this fabric is perhaps your best bet. It not only gives a formal appeal but you also get a "country feel". This fabric is durable and usually does not fade over time. However, the downside is that if you have children, chances of linen getting creased are more and also, it becomes soiled quite fast. You will require professional cleaning for maintenance.

• Molfino

Also, known as Molfin, it is a fabric that is tightly woven. It is more or less similar to the way in which linen is weaved except but is softer and heavier. You can relate it to the popularly seen ‘towel fabric’. While ordering the sofa, you can instruct the sofa set manufacturers Delhi to set it before delivery.

• Leather

Unlike linen and other fabrics about which you have to think twice before using them for your sofa set, you can use leather for sofa sets even if you have pets and children at home. However, make sure that sharp objects do not damage it.

Aside from the choice of sofa set fabrics mentioned above, you can try out the following-

• Brushed canvas and plain canvas

• Jute

• Velvet

• Chenilles

• Suede

• Vinyl and faux leather

While selecting the fabric, it is not just the age of the residents that matter but the location of your house is important too. This is because if you have your living room towards the roadside, your furniture will be susceptible to dust and dirt. So, these factors too will decide the type of fabric you ought to invest in.
