How to Choose the Best Sofa Fabric in Malaysia?
Color and Patterns are the first criteria for most people when coming to the selection of Sofa Fabric. Though color and Texture are important, other factors are equally important too.
Fabric Color
The color of the fabric is very often the first choice you make when doing sofa fabric selection. We advise you to avoid delicately colored fabrics if you have children and/or pets.
To strike the right mood, consider the color temperature. Warm and cool colors affect the mood of the room and that aspect should be part of the decision. Avoid trendy colors, unless you really like them. They may look outdated long before the sofa or chair needs recovering.
Fabric Style
It is also important to consider 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.
Fabric Durability
The importance of fabric durability varies depending on the piece of furniture, which room it is used in and personal aspects of the family, such as if children and pets live in the house. Your sofa fabric selection should reflect those issues.
Choose a fabric based on who will be using your sofa. If your pets will be sharing your sofa with you, consider a microfiber fabric or leather because these can withstand extra wear and tear. Fabric durability is important if your sofa or chair will be daily used.
