Five Reasons Our Fabric Wall is Crucial to Your Project
Our fabric wall is the heart of our custom upholstery projects. Fabrics contribute more to the color, style, and comfort of your interior design than almost anything we can think of. A large selection of on-trend fabric and leather swatches is crucial to you when designing custom furniture. Here’s why:
01. You Need Variety
Starting with a large variety of fabric or leather options leads you to a better exploration of options. You may even find something unexpected that you had never thought of before! A wide range of options also allows you to work within your preferred budget while still finding a material you love.
02. Solid or Pattern? Both Are Equally Important.
Balance and versatility is the name of the game when it comes to designing your space. Solids can provide a neutral, timeless base that complements various décor. Patterns introduce personality and visual interest, making pieces stand out. Together they create a cohesive and dynamic look.
03. A Full Sample Makes the Difference.
A larger sample gives you a better overall representation of the fabric or leather. It will help give you a more accurate sense of the material’s texture, color, and drape. This is particularly true for patterned fabric with intricate patterns, prints, or textures. A large sample lets you see how the design repeats and interacts across a broader area.
04. You Need to be able to See and Feel the Fabric or Leather in Person.
The “hand” of the fabric is defined as the tactile or sensory qualities of a fabric when it is touched or felt. Hand encompasses fabric softness, texture, smoothness, stiffness, drape, and weight.
Do you want a chair that exudes cozy comfort or a sofa that is the definition of classy? How the material feels is just as important to this decision as the color and pattern. Another important distinction is how the material reads in a variety of lighting and settings.
Carrying a sample around the showroom (or even your space) is a whole lot easier than trying to imagine every way this material could look. Drape your fabric selection over a pillow, the back of a sofa, or the arm of a chair. That will help you visualize how it will look once it is actually on the piece!
05. A Constantly Evolving Selection is Vital.
It allows you to truly personalize your space. An evolving fabric and leather wall empowers you to choose furniture that feels like you—not just in function, but in personality and expression. The changes and innovations within the fabric technology world are constantly evolving. We also want to show you the newest and best options when it comes to durability and eco-friendly options.
It all adds up! Our fabric wall and our huge fabric swatch selection are one of the most important tools we offer you. Admittedly it can be a bit intimidating. But don’t worry! Our designers are little sorting machines when it comes to fabrics. You may see an overwhelming choice — but in your designer’s mind the choices you make rapidly narrow down the huge group to just a few “fabric stories”. Those can be the beginning of your perfect room.
