PROPER UPHOLSTERY — FABRICS CHOICE FOR SOFA

Mysteriousness, mystery and sophistication to any interior can be added by exclusive designer furniture. It speaks not only about the excellent taste of the owner, but also about style and preferences. High-quality upholstery is no less important than the current form and furniture design. Together with the professional designer Katrina Antonovich we tell whether practical furniture can be beautiful, and from what material it is necessary to choose furnishings. The appearance of the furniture, as well as the materials from which it is made, are significant factors influencing the choice of the client. However, an equally important criterion is practicality. But can be beautiful practical?

  • Velour

Spectacular velour is one of the most favorite coatings by Luxury Antonovich Design designers. The furniture upholstered with it looks fantastic in classical, neoclassical interiors, in the style of contemporary, adds nobility and chic. Soft velour feels like velvet; these are related categories. Velour is made from cotton or wool; it is natural and eco-friendly. Its other advantages are practicality, high wear resistance, — it does not stretch.

  • Flock

Universal flock is non-woven material for sofa upholstery from Luxury Antonovich Design. It is made by gluing bundles of nap — more often polyamide and viscose, less often cotton and wool — on the base. It also can be different: natural — from cotton, synthetic, there are also mixed versions. In addition to strength, wear resistance, the main advantage of the flock is waterproof.

  • Gunny

Gunny is the most eco-friendly fabric of coarse weaving from flax or cotton, similar to burlap. It fits perfectly into the interior in the style of Scandinavian and eco. But there are options with an admixture of acrylic and polyester, they add strength to it. The advantages are obvious: it does not wrinkle, pleasant to the touch and very durable.

  • Jacquard

Jacquard is one of the most expensive furniture materials. It is made of cotton with the addition of artificial raw materials. Despite its subtlety and softness, it is difficult to tear it; it is durable, wear-resistant. The sophisticated ornate patterns that Luxury Antonovich Design put on jacquard are an element of rich classical style.
