Choosing the right fabric for your furniture is one of the most important decisions in interior design. Let's explore your options:
Velvet
Luxurious and sophisticated, velvet adds instant elegance to any space. Modern velvet is more durable than ever, with stain-resistant options available.
Linen
Natural and breathable, linen offers a relaxed, lived-in aesthetic. It softens beautifully with age and use.
Leather
Timeless and durable, leather develops a beautiful patina over time. Ideal for high-traffic areas and homes with pets.
