When I come to do a consultation, I will bring fabric books for you to look through, but if you would like to browse the online catalog, you can find the link below.
COST:
Fabric ranges from $50-$150 per yard.
If you provide your own fabric, there is an up-charge of $30/yd as we are no longer making the commission on selling you our fabric.
Things to consider when choosing fabric:
- What room is this piece in, and is it an active or quiet room?
- Do you have kids or pets?
- What is the color scheme in this room?
- Is there existing furniture you’d like to try and match?
- Are you going for casual, dressy, or in-between?
- Do you like neutral or patterned fabric?
- If you said patterned, do you like large print or small print?
When browsing the online catalog, you’ll want to follow some guidelines:
- Look at the ABRASION rating or WYZENBEEK RUBS – anything over 30,000 doubles rubs is ideal for living rooms, family rooms or heavily trafficked areas. This means the fabric has been put through a machine that actually “double rubs.” The machine stops at the first sign of wear and records how many double rubs it did.
- Look at the USAGE or APPLICATION of the material. Some material is for drapery only. You wouldn’t want to find the perfect fabric and realize it won’t be durable on your furniture.
Once you’ve found something you like….
Jot down the name of the fabric and mention it to me during our consultation so I can get it ordered for you.
If you’d like to do the reupholstery project yourself, but you want me to order the fabric for you, that’s an option as well!
