1. Choose medium or heavy use fabric.
Ask your sales person at the furniture store or online if the fabric is for
light, medium or heavy use. Only you know your home habits and
those that live with you. If you have kids, pets and your lifestyle is very
active go with heavy use fabric.
2. Consider color as it pertains to the sofa’s function.
Choose color for your upholstery fabric strategically. Ask yourself if
you tend to get tired of saturated or dramatic colors quickly or you
stay true to certain favorites for a long period of time.
3. Pattern.
If you fell in love with a certain pattern, make sure that the shape of
your upholstery piece does not conflict with it. For example, a sofa
with straight lines will look better if you choose a pattern with
straight or geometric angles.
4. Texture.
Remember that your upholstery will be consistently compressed and
do not use overly dimensional texture as it will be altered with time.
Try to get a sample of the fabric you want to use, then stretch it,
compress it and see if it changes its structure.
