Contemporary Sofas
Contemporary concepts looked upon as new, fresh and up to date. Fabrics' lean
to textures and weaves in solids, stripes and prints. Colors are either neutral
or vibrant in tone. Leather is also favorite upholstery for contemporary
designs.
Traditional Sofas
Classic collections of heirlooms often using darker woods with conservative
styles. Traditional usually has a formal or dressy look. Mahogany, cherry and
other rich-tone woods - often carved, embossed or inlaid - are a staple of this
style, as are fabrics such as damask, jacquard, prints and tapestry in
jewel-tone or muted shades.
Eclectic & Casual Sofas
Casual-composed of elements drawn from various styles and designs. A perfect
blend of old and new. This style offers comfort and versatility. Eclectic and
casual styles are a mix of classic with contemporary furniture. The key to
eclectic is to avoid a 50-50 mixture. Instead, aim for a 2/3 to 1/3 mix of
styles. Color is important too. The controlled use of one or two colors, in
upholsteries or accents like throw pillows, provides a common element to unite
the various periods.
Country & Cottage Sofas
Country furniture is simpler in design than traditional pieces. Country has a
warm, cozy approach using elements of nature, including colors, textures and
images. Upholsteries like big plaids, checks, botanical prints and bold stripes
in bright or rich hues complement the handcrafted look of country wood items.
Lifestyle Sofas
Lifestyle is a new category that has arisen in response to the home becoming a
center of activity. Most often styles are in the form of slipcover-look
upholstery often in denims and twills, suitable for young tastes! Painted or
color-stained wood furniture in hues such as red, blue and purple complement
this style.

Fabric Types
There are hundreds of different types of fabrics used for upholstering
furniture. Because of the wide variety of materials used to upholster
furniture, you must take care when choosing a fabric. Some fabrics can tolerate
more rugged use while others require greater care. Take into account what type
of use your piece of furniture will encounter and where the piece will be
placed in your home. You can extend the life of any fabric with proper care.
Chenille & Textured Fabrics
The word is French for caterpillar and the fabric looks fluffy. The fabric is
woven from a fuzzy yarn whose pile resembles a caterpillar. Chenille yarns can
be made from any fiber, but most commonly they are composed of cotton, wool,
rayon or nylon. Interesting textures and a very soft feel makes chenille among
the most popular choices for upholstery fabrics. Chenille's are extremely
durable fabrics.
Tapestries
Tapestries are a very traditional choice for upholstered furniture. These are
durable, tightly woven fabrics, usually of cotton and polyester, with richly
woven designs and patterns. Tapestries are extremely durable because of their
tight weave.

heaven woven backing, which increases durability! Microfiber comes in a rainbow

Denim & Twill
Denim is not just for blue jeans anymore. With the adoption of casual Fridays
at many companies and jeans still the number one choice for casual clothing, it
seems only logical that denim would also find its way into the home, showing up
in categories such as upholstered furniture, slipcovers, top-of-the-bed, table
cloths and decorative pillows. People are spending more time at home, often as
much for business as family gathering. And with the emphasis on causal
lifestyle, fabrics must not only provide comfort and beauty in the different
areas of the home, but also have the stamina to stand up to the rigors of daily
communal life. Denim is strong, pure, and versatile. Denim wears well in busy
households and gets softer and more comfortable with time. Denim's appeal is
its casualness. Just as we love to be in our favorite pair of jeans, and how
that makes us feel, that's how we want our customers to feel about denim in
their home. It's comfortable. It's casual, it feels good. Soft and inviting to
the eye, denim is perfect for the casual, relaxed, little bit sophisticated
lifestyle trend. Twill is a smooth fabric with a diagonal weave that gives it
texture and visual interest (think of your favorite khaki's). Extremely
durable, it's a good match for homes with children or pets.
Prints
Prints are flat fabrics woven from a variety of threads, from acrylics, nylons,
cottons and polyesters cotton being the most popular. They are usually tightly
woven fabrics with richly woven designs and patterns. Prints are usually a very
traditional choice for upholstered furniture. Printed designs are usually
associated with thinner fabrics, which are more delicate. They are more suited
for gently used rooms.
Velvets
Velvets provide a plush and luxurious feel. They are closely woven from acrylic
or nylon, with a short, thick pile. Crush marks, creating a mottled shading,
result from normal use and changes in humidity. these marks may be diminished
by brushing or steaming; however, such shading is considered a desirable
expression of comfort and elegance. Velvets are extremely durable and therefore
a great choice for reclining furniture and furniture for the family room.
