        1. What makes chenille a good fabric choice for upholstery?

        Chenille offers a combination of softness, texture, depth of colour, and durability. The fabric is known for its plush pile that is not only comfortable to the touch but also visually appealing with a characteristic sheen. 


        Additionally, chenille can withstand regular use while maintaining its shape and texture, making it suitable for furniture that sees a lot of activity.



        1. Is chenille upholstery better suited to traditional or contemporary design styles?

        Chenille upholstery is versatile enough to complement both traditional and contemporary aesthetics. Its classic appeal and soft, inviting texture make it a popular choice for traditional interiors, where it adds a sense of warmth and comfort. 


        However, depending on the furniture's shape and the fabric's colour and pattern, chenille can also fit seamlessly into contemporary spaces, lending a modern look with a nod to comfort and luxury.



        1. Are there eco-friendly chenille fabrics available?

        Yes, our REBORN eco-friendly recycled chenille is made of recycled PET bottles. This upholstery offers the same softness and durability as traditional chenille while putting sustainability at the forefront. 


        Our REBORN chenille is available in 15 colours, so you can find the perfect match for your upholstery project.



        1. How do I maintain the softness of chenille upholstery?

        Regular vacuuming with a soft brush or upholstery attachment can help maintain the upholstery's softness. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals for cleaning, as they can affect the fabric's texture. Instead, opt for dry cleaning or specialised upholstery cleaners. 


        If the fabric becomes matted, gentle steaming or brushing in the direction of the pile can help restore its softness.



        1. How easy is it for a beginner sewer to work with chenille upholstery?

        Chenille can be more challenging than some fabrics due to its thickness and pile. Beginners should use a walking foot attachment for even feeding and choose a larger, upholstery-grade needle to handle the fabric's weight. We recommend practising on scraps before starting your project.
