5 Basic Tips For Choosing Upholstery Fabric Perth
Choosing the right fabric for your living or bedroom space is essential. It can drastically impact the overall comfort and feel of your home. With Sew Covered Upholstery Perth you will receive expert advice, we are here to help make all of your redecorating decisions easy, quick, and simple - whatever you need!
The important factors to consider when choosing upholstered furniture:
1. The first thing to consider when selecting a fabric is what is the fabric made of? This impacts how it will wear over time, what it can be applied to and how it will feel. From linen to cotton, acrylic or a blend of all.
2. The fabric weight directly refer to just that how heavy of light it is. It includes the thickness and weight of the fibers used to make a fabric and the weave used in forming the finished piece. The heavier fabrics are better applied to high use furniture were as the lighter fabrics work better for soft furnishing such as throw cushions and curtains. The weight of the fabric does not affect the feel – you can have a light weight velvet or a heavy pile velvet, they both feel the same however depending on application one will work better than the other.
3. Fabric's quality and product life are critical when considering fabrics for upholstered furniture. Quality is measured by rub cycle, some have lower rub ratings than others which means they break down bases on the amount of times the fabric is agitated and how it performs after several washes. The higher rub rating the more longevity you will get out of a fabric.
4. Fabric dyes are affected by heat and sunlight,we will always offer a variety of fabric suitable for this purpose, with UV, water and mold resistance.Alternatively, for indoor fabrics we offer on guard protection which rather than products that are just applied to the surface after market, the fabric is fully soaked in this protection solution making it liquid retardant. This mean the fiber of the fabric won’t absorb any spillages and you are able to clean up before the fabric is damaged. This will last on the furniture for 4-5 deep cleans
5. Fabric texture, print, or plain is a way of narrowing down selection. A place I always like to start is questioning this do you want velvet, linen, tweed etc. Once we have a texture down the next question is so we want it printed with a pattern or are we after plain? Once we have this as an idea, we can look at what is available in this selection in the right colour way for the space.
