The size, shape, and cushioning material are all critical choices for customizing a sofa, but what meets the eye is the fabric. Fortunately, there are quite a few choices for upholstery fabric for covering the living room furniture. Here’s your guide of 5 sofa fabrics:
1. Cotton
Cotton is an all-natural fiber that’s highly versatile and cost-effective. While it may be susceptible to stains (unless it’s professionally treated), cotton can resist fading despite being placed in a sun-facing room.
2. Linen
With a lighter weave, linen offers a range of textures, from smooth to chunky. If your sofa must withstand high traffic, you’re going to want to choose durable performance linen that doesn’t stain or wrinkle easily.
3. Velvet
For a luxurious sofa design, your best option is velvet. Nothing says elegance and extravagance like the silky velvet that graces your living room sofa. A high-performance, tight weave stands tall against all wear and tear, but unfortunately, it does stain easily.
4. Microfiber
If you’re looking for an option that’s highly resistant to stains and is cost-effective, your best upholstery fabric choice is microfiber. You’ll want to keep a lint roller nearby, though, if you have pets at home.
5. Leather
Leather is high quality, luxury fabric that wins the highly versatile title. It’s durable, sophisticated, and stain-resistant and resists allergens as well, making it an ideal choice for homes.
