Factors to Consider When Choosing Fabrics
1. Lifestyle and Usage
The way you use your furniture plays a significant role in determining the right fabric:
- Pet- and Kid-Friendly Fabrics: Opt for stain-resistant or easy-to-clean options like leather or synthetic blends to keep your furniture looking pristine.
- High-Traffic Areas: For living rooms or family spaces, choose durable fabrics like microfiber or performance materials that resist wear and tear.
- Low-Traffic Spaces: Delicate fabrics such as silk or velvet work well in areas with minimal use, like formal living rooms or guest bedrooms.
Choosing the right fabrics can elevate your home’s aesthetic and enhance your daily comfort.

2. Aesthetic Preferences
Fabric choice significantly impacts the overall look and feel of your space. Reece Furniture’s design experts can help you match fabrics to your décor style:
- Eclectic: Bold patterns, vibrant colors, and unique textures for a personalized touch.
- Modern: Sleek and smooth fabrics like leather, linen, or tightly woven cotton.
- Traditional: Textured materials like brocade, chenille, or damask.
3. Color and Pattern
- Color: Consider your room’s existing color palette. Neutral fabrics provide versatility, while bold colors make a statement.
- Pattern: Solids create a clean, timeless look, while patterns add visual interest. Balance patterned fabrics with solid elements to avoid overwhelming your space.
4. Durability and Maintenance
- Durability: Fabrics like polyester blends, leather, and tightly woven materials offer longevity.
- Maintenance: Select fabrics that align with your cleaning routine. Machine-washable covers or stain-resistant treatments simplify upkeep.
5. Comfort and Texture
Comfort is paramount when selecting fabrics for furniture you’ll use daily. Soft textures like cotton, chenille, or velvet provide coziness, while smoother materials like leather offer a polished feel.
