Why Designers Choose Solid Upholstery Fabrics
Plain fabrics provide designers with the flexibility to create in interior schemes. Without a pattern to compete with other elements in a room, solid colour fabrics allow a furniture's shape, colour palette, and texture to take centre stage.
They are also commonly paired with patterned fabrics or textured upholstery textiles, helping designers to create balanced interiors where solids and patterns complement each other.
Plain Velvet Upholstery Fabric
Plain velvet remains one of the most popular solid fabrics for upholstery with our customers, thanks to its soft pile, depth of colour, and luxurious surface. A plain velvet upholstery fabric can create a refined, elegant look while still offering the durability required for furniture applications.
Many interiors use plain velvet fabric to introduce colour and texture without a pattern that may clash with an existing colour scheme. It works particularly well for:
- Upholstered accent chairs
- Statement sofas
- Headboards and decorative furniture
- Hospitality seating areas
You can explore more velvet options in our Velvet Fabric Collection, which includes patterned velvets, cut velvet fabrics, and printed velvet designs.
Linen Velvet Upholstery Fabric
Linen velvet upholstery fabric combines the soft pile of velvet with the natural character of linen blends. These fabrics often feature a subtle texture and relaxed appearance, making them popular in contemporary interiors where designers want a natural yet refined upholstery fabric.
Linen velvet fabrics are often used in:
- Modern residential interiors
- Boutique hospitality environments
- Upholstered sofas and lounge seating

Choosing the Best Solid Fabric for Upholstery
When selecting a plain upholstery fabric, designers typically consider practical factors.
Durability
For furniture that receives regular use, fabrics with higher abrasion ratings and durable fibre blends are recommended.
Fibre Composition
Solid fabrics may be made from cotton, polyester, linen, velvet blends, or chenille constructions, each affecting texture, durability, and drape.
Colour Selection
Because solid fabrics rely heavily on colour rather than pattern, choosing the right colour family and tone is important for creating a balanced interior palette.
