Patterned Upholstery

Can I purchase patterned upholstery fabrics at Spotlight?

Yes, check out the many beautiful and elegant patterned upholstery fabrics here at Spotlight, ideal for a range of projects from making table runners to cushion covers, as well as upholstering footstools, chair seats or larger projects for around the home. With different styles and weights of fabric on offer, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing your fabric.

What should I consider when buying patterned upholstery fabrics?

There are different things to consider when deciding which upholstery fabrics to buy. Here are some:

• Durability:Consider how much wear your upholstered item is likely to get. Some fabrics such as silk are extremely elegant and luxurious, but they will not stand up to much wear and tear, and while they are suitable for items such as a cushion in a guest room, they would not be suitable for upholstering the family sofa.
• Colour and design:Think about where your upholstered item will be placed, and make sure that the colour and the design of your upholstery fabric blends in with other items in the area. Too many patterned designs can clash and make for an uncoordinated appearance, while a clever blend of plain, checked or patterned fabrics can draw a design together.
• Scale:Patterns can be deceptive while the fabric is still on the roll. A large pattern may not work on a small stool or ottoman, whereas a small-scale pattern may be lost on a large object. The same goes for rooms, where a small pattern may be lost in a large space. Also, remember that large patterns require more fabric if you have to worry about pattern matching along seams.
