Furnishing Upholstery Fabric

Using furnishing fabric for curtains and home upholstery

Furnishing fabrics provide the necessary weight and structure for items that face daily household contact. While lighter dressmaking cottons lack the substance for furniture covers, upholstery and curtaining cloth is specifically constructed to handle tension, stitching around timber frames, and regular friction.

These materials are suited to a broad range of interior and re-upholstery tasks, including:

• Curtains and window drapes
• Covering sofas, armchairs and dining chairs
• Upholstering padded headboards and bed bases
• General household craft and decorative accessories

Choosing prints, plains and specialty weaves

Selecting the right material often comes down to balancing pattern scale with the shape of your furniture. Our range covers both solid neutrals and decorative designs. You will find botanical themes such as leaf prints and floral motifs, alongside versatile plains in shades of cream, navy, olive green, beige and grey. Cuts in this collection include 146cm and 148cm widths, allowing generous coverage across broader chair backs and curtain drops.

In addition to classic woven curtaining and upholstery cloth, the selection includes specialty options like Prince of Wales check bengaline featuring flocked roses. Containing a blend of viscose, polyester, nylon and elastane, fabrics with stretch offer flexibility for tailoring around curved furniture edges or craft pieces that require raised, tactile surface detail.
