Tips: Perfect fabric for your couch

Sofa TextureChoice of furniture, accessories and wall colours totally depends on your personal taste. Similarly, choosing fabric for your sofa is again a personal matter. Certain things to consider before choosing fabric for your sofa are the amount of usage, where would you want to place your sofa, etc. Placement should be taken care because if you place the sofa near window or door, the fabric used should be strong enough to deal with the air and direct sunlight.

Few points you should keep in mind while choosing sofa fabric are;

Durability of the sofa

The durability of a sofa depends on the usage. If you have children and pets in your home, you should opt for durable fabric which is wear and tear resistant. Or if you are planning to place your sofa on the living room where it is mostly for the use of guests, then you should consider buying more delicate fabric for your sofa.

Pros and Cons of sofa fabrics:

Following are the few popular fabrics for sofa for your home, which have both pros and cons.

Cotton

Leather
