Fabric is the first thing you see and touch on a sofa, and it decides how long the sofa keeps looking good. Each fabric has its own character and strengths. Here is a quick look at the most popular types so you can choose with confidence.

Velvet

Velvet gives a sofa a luxurious look and a soft feel, and it reflects light in a way that brings out rich colors such as olive green, navy and burgundy. It suits formal living rooms and guest rooms, and needs regular care with a soft brush or vacuum.

Chenille

Chenille is soft and warm, with good durability for everyday use. It is a balanced choice for anyone who wants comfort and style together, and works well in family living rooms.

Linen and natural fabrics

Linen has a light, natural feel and suits calm, simple interiors. It can crease and stain more easily than other fabrics, so it is best for homes with lighter use.

Easy-clean fabrics

Some fabrics are treated to resist stains and liquids, and in most cases can be cleaned with a damp cloth. These are the smartest choice for homes with children or pets.

How to choose

• With children at home: choose an easy-clean fabric in a mid-tone color that hides daily wear.
• For a guest room: velvet gives you the luxury you are looking for.
• For everyday comfort: chenille is a balanced, comfortable option.
• For a sunny room: choose colors and fabrics that are less prone to fading.
