Which you choose will depend on many factors and I\u2019ll discuss these along with some popular fabric choices in this guide. Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b45e4df elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b45e4df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Things To Consider When Choosing Reupholstery Fabrics<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4727cb color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a4727cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Choosing the right fabric to reupholster chairs, sofas and other furniture is one of the most important interior decor decisions you\u2019ll ever make. Get it spot on and you\u2019ll enjoy furniture that\u2019s practical, comfortable and durable. But get it wrong and it\u2019s a decision you might live to regret.<\/p><p>Before I start talking about the various fabric options, I\u2019d like to give you a few tips on how to choose. By considering these things, you\u2019ll be more likely to select a fabric that\u2019s going to add character and charm to your home as well as something that\u2019ll fit in with your lifestyle.<\/p><ul><li>First things first, I\u2019d strongly recommend considering your personal preference. The texture of certain fabrics can be appealing to one person but may be an issue for those with sensory issues. Before making a decision, I\u2019d always urge people to check out some swatches to get a feel for the fabric.<\/li><li>Of course, you\u2019re also going to want to enjoy the visual appeal of your chosen fabric so, when browsing options, consider colour and pattern. If you\u2019re looking to create an accent piece then opt for something bright and unique. On the other hand, many people like to choose something in a neutral colour for that timeless appeal.<\/li><li>When it comes to lifestyle, the type of fabric you choose will make a huge difference. For example, if you have children or pets, something like leather, which is easy to wipe down and won\u2019t stain is going to be more practical.<\/li><li>You\u2019ll also need to consider what you want to spend. Natural materials are typically more expensive than synthetic ones. That\u2019s not to say that synthetic materials are bad, there are many excellent options but knowing the price difference can help you to narrow down options that will fit into your budget.<\/li><li>It\u2019s also important to think about how often the furniture will be used. For something that will get daily use, a more durable, hard-wearing fabric is preferable. On the other hand, if you\u2019re looking to reupholster an occasional piece, you\u2019re more free to choose something luxurious.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5f188e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b5f188e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Fabric Options For Reupholstery<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element elementor-element-90860dd e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"90860dd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee12719 color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ee12719\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When it comes to fabric for reupholstering furniture, the <a href=\"http:\/\/deway.co.uk\/index.php\/fabrics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">options are limitless<\/a>.

This makes it a fantastic idea for families or homes that have pets.<\/p><p>What\u2019s more, leather is a very durable material (just check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/deway.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/01\/06\/enduro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Enduro range<\/a> to see what I mean) that\u2019s not as prone to rips and tears as other fabrics. Of course, you will need to take good care of it if you want the greatest longevity but this involves minimal work such as lightly vacuuming and using a soft cloth to clean the material.<\/p><p>However, you do have to consider that leather and faux leather are not very breathable materials. If you\u2019ve ever sat on a leather couch in hot weather while wearing shorts, you\u2019ll know what I mean. While this isn\u2019t an issue for some, other people find this quite off-putting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2436fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e2436fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/END3141-1-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2047\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/END3141-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/END3141-1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/END3141-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/END3141-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/END3141-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/END3141-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/END3141-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-130c0d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"130c0d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Linen<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element elementor-element-5ab9a8d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5ab9a8d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ecbd4a color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ecbd4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Linen is a natural material and it is well known for how breathable it is (why do you think so many summer clothes are made from linen?)<\/p><p>As well as being breathable, linen also has the advantage of being very hard-wearing and easy to care for.

If you\u2019re not willing to maintain your couch then this isn\u2019t a material I would recommend. What\u2019s more, this natural cousin of leather is more likely to hold onto stains so it might not be ideal for families or furniture that\u2019s going to be heavily used.<\/p><p>Now onto the reasons that suede has become such a popular choice as a reupholstery fabric.<\/p><p>For starters, this is a <a href=\"http:\/\/deway.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/01\/06\/dream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">super soft material<\/a> that\u2019s breathable and lightweight. It\u2019ll stay cool in summer and keep you cosy in winter so it\u2019s one of the most versatile on this list.<\/p><p>What\u2019s more, suede is resistant to wear and will retain its shape over time. So, as long as you\u2019re willing to put in the work to keep it looking good, it\u2019s a material that will stand the test of time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c50abc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2c50abc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dream2255-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1956\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dream2255-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dream2255-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dream2255-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dream2255-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dream2255-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dream2255-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dream2255.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fcae272 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fcae272\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What\u2019s The Most Durable Fabric For Reupholstery?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4c1cf9 color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d4c1cf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you\u2019ve got a family or are looking for a fabric that will stand up to everyday use then we\u2019d recommend something with a high rub-count. A rub test is a method of assessing the durability (or &#8216;abrasion resistance&#8217;) of a fabric. During the test, a specialist machine vigorously rubs the fabric. When the fabric begins to show signs of wear and tear, the test finishes by counting the number of &#8216;rubs&#8217; up to that point. This gives a textile a &#8216;rub count&#8217;.<\/p><p>Therefore, picking a fabric with a higher rub count would suggest that the fabric is more durable and will wear more slowly compared with fabrics that have a lower rub count. For example, our <a href=\"http:\/\/deway.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/11\/29\/toro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toro fabric<\/a> has a rub-count of 750,000 making it one of the most durable faux leathers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91ea444 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"91ea444\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Which Fabric is Easiest to Clean?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36075e8 color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"36075e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our EasyClean fabrics, such as our <a href=\"http:\/\/deway.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/01\/06\/destino\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Destino,<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/deway.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/12\/22\/cantare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cantare<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/deway.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/01\/06\/finesse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Finesse<\/a> fabrics are perhaps the easiest fabrics to keep clean because it\u2019s merely a case of wiping it down with a damp, soft cloth.

Even the most stubborn of stains, such as ink, can be effortlessly removed, the new finishing of the chenille yarns takes care of that. This is achieved without applying any additional film coating to the fabric but by incorporating it into the yarns at the production stage. In doing so, every yarn is coated with the latest stain protection and we always use the very latest technologies in the process. Yet the appearance of this fabric doesn\u2019t give away anything in terms of its extreme durability and hardware quality.<\/p><p>There are also many stain-resistant types of velvet, linen, and suede on the market these days that give you the luxurious feeling of a high-end couch without the risk of it being ruined if someone spills their drink. <a href=\"http:\/\/deway.co.uk\/index.php\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why not get in touch<\/a> to find out more about our range of easy-to-clean fabrics?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reupholstering your furniture is an amazing way to give it a new lease of life.
