Choosing upholstery fabric for pets and family sofas starts with how the room is used, not the sample card. A cloth that looks perfect in the shop can fail on a West London sofa that sees dogs, children and weekend meals.
What we ask before you order cloth
- Pet claws, shedding and whether covers are cleaned regularly
- South-facing windows and fading risk
- Plain vs patterned weaves — busy textures hide wear better
Contract cloth is not always the answer
Fire-rated commercial fabric can feel stiff in a living room. We match durability to the room — restaurant banquettes and family sofas are different jobs.
