Wollongong Upholstery Fabric
Most people come to us with a feeling more than a fabric. They know the piece means something—its shape, its presence, its weight in the room. But the question of what it should wear next? That’s where we begin. Upholstery fabric is never just a surface. It’s texture, tone, mood. It needs to perform, but also belong. In our Unanderra studio, we walk you through materials that speak to both—the daily use and the visual intention. Sometimes it’s a quiet linen that softens light; other times, a structured weave that holds its own across a suite of chairs.
Our quotation are collaborative. We don’t push options or follow trends for the sake of it. Instead, we look at the piece in context—how you live with it, where it sits, what surrounds it—and make suggestions that feel not only beautiful, but grounded. If you'd like help finding the right fit, call us on 0423 435 265 to book a quotation.
Guided by Feel, Informed by Use
The best fabric choices come from asking the right questions. Is this piece for everyday use or occasional moments? Does it need to resist spills, or simply make a statement? Will it sit in sunlight? Will kids, clients, or pets interact with it daily? These are the things that matter—and they often matter more than colour.
We offer access to a wide range of fabric libraries, including performance textiles, natural fibres, velvets, wool blends, and commercial-grade options. But more importantly, we help you narrow the field without overwhelm. By handling the materials, comparing tones under natural light, and considering how they’ll move, wear and age, we find what works. The outcome is more than an aesthetic match—it’s a considered decision that supports the longevity of your furniture and the feel of your space.
How do I choose the right upholstery fabric for my furniture?
Start by thinking about how the piece is used. High-traffic pieces—like lounge chairs or dining seats—need durable fabrics with a tight weave and a high rub count. Consider if stain resistance, fade resistance or cleanability is important. Then look at texture and colour in the context of your room. Natural fibres like linen and cotton offer a soft, relaxed feel, while synthetics may hold up better under heavy use. A professional fabric consultation can guide you through these factors and help strike the right balance between look and longevity.
What are performance fabrics and are they worth it?
Performance fabrics are engineered to resist stains, wear, fading and moisture—making them ideal for busy households or commercial spaces. They’re designed for longevity and often have protective finishes built in, unlike standard fabrics that rely on aftermarket treatments. While they may cost more upfront, they can offer excellent value over time by reducing maintenance and extending the life of your furniture. Many also come in a wide variety of textures and colours, so aesthetics don’t have to be compromised.
Can I bring in my own fabric for a reupholstery job?
Yes, but there are a few important things to check before doing so. The fabric should be rated for upholstery use—not all decorative or drapery fabrics are strong enough to hold up over time. Check its durability rating (such as Martindale or Wyzenbeek), its content (some blends are more prone to pilling or fading), and make sure there’s enough meterage for the piece. It’s always a good idea to consult with your upholsterer before purchasing to ensure the fabric is suitable for your specific project.
