Fabric Friday! Picking the RIGHT fabric for your chair...


Some of our customers come to us with fabric already selected for their project but a good number still need some guidance when it comes to selecting the right material for their furniture. There is a lot of different things to consider when selecting the right fabric for your chair, where in the home will it be, how often will it be used, and how much you are wanting to spend on the fabric.

For a typical club chair I usually suggest a smaller scale pattern which works well with a solid sofa  My standard rule of thumb is the bigger the piece of furniture, the smaller the pattern. I love a huge pattern on a dining room chair that takes up the whole seat, yet the same pattern on a large club chair would be overwhelming.

                                     

This is a great scale for an oversized On such a small simple chair this
wingback chair since you are still able to large pattern works great and
see the lines of the chair without becomes the focal point of the chair
being too distracted

However we all know that sometimes rules are meant to be broken.

The Iconic Schumacher Chiag Mai Dragon in Aquamarine will turn even the smallest piece into a work of art to use as the center piece in your home.

Whatever fabric you do decide to use, all that is important is that you love it.
