Plain Upholstery FAQs

What types of plain upholstery fabrics do you offer?

What makes plain fabric a good choice for upholstery?
Plain fabric is versatile and can easily complement any room decor, from traditional to contemporary. It provides a solid colour background that allows other elements of the room to stand out, making it easier to accessorise with patterned throws, cushions, or curtains.
Plain fabrics are also less likely to go out of style over time compared to bold prints or patterns. In many cases, solid colours can also hide minor stains or imperfections better than patterns.

How do I select the right colour when purchasing a plain upholstery fabric?
Consider the room's existing colour scheme and the mood you want to create. Neutral colours like beige or grey can offer versatility and longevity, matching well with changing decors. For a more dramatic impact, choose a bold colour that complements accent pieces in the room.
You should also consider practical aspects. For example, darker colours hide stains and wear, while lighter shades open up spaces. If you are unsure, we recommend getting fabric samples to test in the room before making a final decision.
