How to Choose Good Quality Fabric for Upholstery

We have established that one of the uses of Ultrasuede fabric is making upholstery for vehicles and all types of furniture. However, there are other fabrics that can also be used but the criteria for choosing any fabric whether Ultrasuede or any other remains the same.

Find below some factors to consider when choosing material for your upholstery:

Durability

It is important to check out the durability of any material that you intend to use for any furniture.  However, the level of durability required depends on the type of furniture to be covered and the room where the furniture will be kept.

If you want to make furniture for a child who has pets, your best bet is Ultrasuede fabric. You can buy Ultrasuede fabric by the yard so that you can have just enough to use for a particular project. This choice is best because the fabric is tightly knit therefore it can withstand the wear and tear from kid’s roughhousing and paws and claws of their pets. Additionally, using a durable material is important for furniture that you use every day.

Style and Color

The fabric you choose must complement the style of the furniture you want to use it for and the décor of the space where the furniture is placed. If the furniture is a traditional style frame, your best choice should be traditional fabric damasks, luxurious silks, and archival prints. However, there are people who know how to mix and match; if you are one of those, you can experiment with more than one material.

The pattern on the material also determines whether it will complement the style of the space or not. If your furniture is in a large room, it is best to use bold and large patterns. Conversely, smaller, or muted patterns are better for smaller rooms.

Some materials are formal while others are casual; but fabrics like Ultrasuede be used as formal or casual. The color plays a very important role in determining what category it will fall into. Beige or earth colors tend to look more formal while pastel colors appear more casual.

Additionally, color can also affect the overall effect of the upholstery on the décor of your space. So, imagine a large sofa with a very vibrant colored upholstery in a small room? That will definitely be the highlight of the room; that will be ok if that is the effect you want. But if that is not the effect you are going for, you will do well to cover the large sofa in muted or neutral colored upholstery.

It goes without saying that white is not a recommended color for kids and pets. However, you have to strike a balance as dark colors will not work either. This is where Ultrasuede fabrics come to the rescue. You can use them in pastel colors and still easily keep it clean.
