Naz Fabrics: How to Select the Best Upholstery Fabrics

When you are thinking about purchasing upholstery fabric, the first thing that often comes to mind is your choice of colour. This is typically the single biggest factor in fabric selection. But while colour is important, other factors are equally important.

With over 8000 designs to choose from, Naz’s Fabrics based in Selby, Johannesburg, boasts an unlimited choice in upholstery fabric. Their new showroom is packed with everything one would need for an upholstery project. With over 30 years of experience in the upholstery industry, the company provides knowledge and expertise to the contract market. Here we share some top tips to help you select the best upholstery fabric for your project:

• Besides the colour choice, consider the fabric’s durability. Depending on your project or furniture item that needs upholstering, you need to select a fabric that will stand up to daily use and natural wear and tear.
• Fabric style is another important consideration. Your fabric choice should be harmonious with the style and character of the piece it is covering.
• Think about the size of the piece being upholstered and the scale of the pattern. It should be appropriate to the size of the furniture it is covering as well as the room size. A large bold, pattern might work better in a larger room, while a more muted or smaller one might be a better choice for a smaller space.
• Cost. When purchasing fabric, consider the availability and cost involved.

Naz’s Fabrics greatest success is due to the availability of the product. A large percentage of fabrics, both local and imported, are available ex-stock, while special imported fabrics are delivered a mere two weeks from the time of order. Creating design stories is made time efficient and simplem working from sample books, which provide the client with every conceivable colour and pattern combination.
