Upholstered furniture – which fabric is the best for your sofa?

Upholstered furniture

When buying a living room sofa, we think of its modern design and comfort, but not just that. Our main focus is actually the fabric that the sofa is upholstered with. In today’s blog entry, we want to talk about fabrics that we make our furniture with. We will describe their qualities, texture and briefly analyse which model goes with which type of interior. We will ask, for example, is it a house, an office space, doctor’s surgery or a waiting room that you need the sofa for? 

Upholstered sofa – which fabric will be ideal for a home?

A day room is where we spend most of our time. A sofa is a place where we rest, watch TV, but also eat and spend time with friends. A living room sofa should therefore for comfortable, functional and upholstered with a durable fabric that will be easy to keep clean and won’t pill, even with everyday use. Do we have such fabrics available in our store? Of course we do! For day rooms, we recommend sofas upholstered with felt-texture fabric, such as Ontario fabric. It is incredibly pleasant to the touch, warm and resistant to abrasiveness and staining. Furniture upholstered with this fabric looks very stylish and allows you to create a pretty and unconventional interior. Explorer corner sofa bed is one of the models upholstered with this fabric. 

Another great option for a living room will be a sofa upholstered with woven-type fabric. Here, we recommend Brest 2- or 3-seater sofa in Scandinavian style. It not only looks very elegant, but – with its simple form – it will also match modern and classic styles. Sofas on wooden legs are pieces of furniture that you like and value for their functionality and beautiful look. We agree completely and think that with an added bonus of unconventional upholstery fabric, the whole piece becomes even more attractive and extraordinary. Woven fabric will work perfectly with this model of sofa. This pleasant to the touch and smooth fabric is great for everyday use. Even if you have pets, you don’t have to worry about the fabric becoming worn-out quickly. It is very resistant to abrasiveness, doesn’t pill and is easy to keep clean.  

A sofa for your office – fabric resistant to staining

Your office is a place where you work, meet clients and it is a space that requires a lot of thought and attention when you decorate it. It should be comfortable, but – above all – functional. Our office is where we often meet clients, or even friends.  Apart from making sure that they feel comfortable, we must also prepare our sofa for any accidental spillages and staining that can happen with everyday use. We recommend Hobby sofa made with eco-leather. The fabric is called Margo. It is resistant to staining, pleasant to the touch and a definite winner among businessmen and those who are designing their office space. Sofas upholstered with eco leather have been known for years now and are still very popular with our customers. 

Which sofa will work in a waiting room?

It should definitely be a model that has durable fabric, which is also resistant to staining. After all, during a typical day it will be used by many people. Margo fabric would again be a perfect choice here. It is easy to keep clean and a sofa with this fabric will keep its presentable look for many years. Our customers tell us that in work or public places, eco leather sofas are still very fashionable.  

Upholstered furniture delights with its form, functionality and modern design. Colourful living room sofas have become a symbol of elegance and great taste. Last year you’ve showed us how much you like bold and bright colours: mustard sofa or a bottle green one are the winners among our customers. Grey sofas or corner sofa beds in red colour are also very popular. Wide range of upholstery fabrics and generous colour scheme allow everyone to choose a piece of furniture of their dreams. 

Remember that not only your day room, but also your work place, such as an office or a study, will need an upholstered sofa that is not just pretty and trendy, but also functional. With us, the choice shouldn’t be too difficult, as – with each product – we describe in detail the fabric that the piece of furniture is upholstered with, while briefly presenting its specifications.
