Choosing Leopard Upholstery Fabric

leopard upholstery fabric

Leopard print is a bold choice for your furniture upholstery or even for home decor items such as throw pillows or made-to-measure curtains. However, if used correctly it can add a splash of style to your home design without overpowering the rest of the room’s design elements. It is also a great fabric to consider for a feature wall as it will definitely be a talking point when guests enter your space.

Leopard patterned fabrics can work well with a range of colours. They also complement other patterned fabrics such as florals or plaids, depending on the colour of the leopard. This means that you can create a completely unique look for your space with just one piece of upholstered furniture or a few coordinating cushions and curtains.

When it comes to choosing upholstery fabric, you want a durable, abrasion-resistant material that is easy to clean and maintain. The best option is a performance fabric that is made up of natural or synthetic fibres, such as cotton, wool, silk and linen, or a combination of these. Some performance fabrics have been certified GREENGUARD for low chemical emissions, contributing to healthy indoor air quality.

One of the best options available is a soft chenille fabric with a textured leopard pattern. It is easy to clean and has a high abrasion rating with 17,000 double rubs. It also has a slight sheen to it that helps to lighten the overall look of your upholstery.
