Fabric Choice
Fabrics
At Ellamental Interiors, fabric is at the heart of every upholstered piece, cushion, and lampshade we create. Choosing the right fabric not only influences the look of a piece, but also how it performs in everyday life.
We carefully source fabrics from trusted suppliers to ensure quality, durability, and beautiful design.
Whether you are selecting fabric for a chair, bespoke cushions, or lampshades, we are always happy to help guide you towards the most suitable option for your home.
Choosing the Right Fabric
Different fabrics offer different qualities, and the right choice will depend on how the piece will be used.
When selecting fabrics, we consider:
Durability and wear
Texture and comfort
Colour and pattern
Suitability for upholstery or soft furnishings
Practicality for pets or family homes
Many fabrics are available in a wide range of colours, textures and patterns, allowing pieces to be tailored to suit both contemporary and traditional interiors.
Cat-Friendly Fabrics
For households with cats, certain fabrics perform much better than others. While no fabric is completely claw-proof, some materials are far more resistant to scratching and snagging.
Fabrics that tend to work best include:
Velvets
Velvet fabrics often perform well in homes with cats. The tight weave makes it difficult for claws to catch, and marks can often be brushed out easily.
Tightly woven fabrics
Fabrics with a dense, smooth weave are less likely to snag than loose or textured materials.
Performance fabrics
Some upholstery fabrics are specifically designed to be hard-wearing, stain resistant and suitable for busy homes.
Fabrics that are generally not recommended in homes with cats include:
Loose weaves
Bouclé or heavily textured fabrics
Delicate linens
If pets are part of your household, we can help guide you towards fabrics that will stand up to everyday life while still looking beautiful.
Fabrics for Upholstery, Cushions and Lampshades
Many of the fabrics available through Ellamental Interiors can be used across multiple pieces to create a cohesive interior scheme.
This means you can coordinate:
Upholstered furniture
Bespoke cushions
Handmade lampshades
Using the same fabric or complementary fabrics throughout a room helps create a thoughtful and layered interior.
Fabric Samples
Fabric samples are available to help you choose with confidence. Seeing and feeling fabrics in your own space allows you to consider colour, texture and durability before making a final decision.
If you are unsure which fabric would work best, we are always happy to offer advice and recommendations.
