Choose a fabric that suits your lifestyle. For high-traffic areas, opt for performance fabrics like microfiber, leather, or tightly woven textiles with a high Martindale rub count (above 17,000 for domestic, 50,000+ for commercial use).

Best for: Homes with kids, pets, or frequent use.

The feel of the fabric matters for both comfort and aesthetics. Velvet offers a plush, luxurious touch, while linen is breathable and casual. Consider whether you want a soft, smooth, or structured, textured finish.

Best for: Cozy and stylish seating experiences.

Neutral tones are timeless and versatile, while bold colours or patterns can create a statement piece. Consider stain resistance, as lighter fabrics may show dirt more easily. Patterned or darker fabrics help conceal wear over time.

Best for: Creating a cohesive or eye-catching design in your space.
