Not all upholstery fabrics are created equal. A soft, cozy textile perfect for a family living room might not last in a hotel lobby. On the other hand, a heavy-duty contract fabric could feel too rigid for a casual home sofa. Understanding the difference between residential and commercial upholstery fabrics helps you choose the best option for your project.
🏠 Residential Fabrics: Comfort Meets Style
-
Durability: Fabrics rated 20,000–30,000 cycles are usually enough.
-
Style: Homeowners often prioritize comfort and color variety.
-
Examples:
✔ Harvest Collection – basket weave texture, warm colorways, perfect for cozy living rooms.
✔ Arcadian Collection – linen-look woven fabric, ideal for boho or natural interiors.
✔ Silkha Collection – silky textured fabric for elegant drapery and headboards.
🏢 Commercial Fabrics: Performance First
-
Durability: Needs at least 40,000–50,000+ cycles for heavy traffic.
-
Maintenance: Stain resistance and easy cleaning are critical.
-
Examples:
✔ Classic Velvet – 100,000 abrasion cycles, perfect for hotels, restaurants, and theaters.
✔ Nexus Chevron & Pulse – structured geometric and striped designs with contract-level durability.
✔ Roam Bouclé – soft yet resilient, ideal for lobbies or waiting areas.
🔄 When to Choose Which?
-
Family Sofas & Chairs → Residential fabrics like Harvest or Arcadian bring comfort and style.
-
Office Seating & Restaurants → Go for Monarch or Roam Bouclé for durability with design.
-
