Choosing the right fabric

There's lots to think about when picking a fabric for your sofa or bed. Our linens give a more relaxed laid-back look while velvet is more sumptuous and glam and tends to lend colour a richer hue. Our cottons are great all-rounders, including our boucle, while our Clever Woolly has a fuzzier feel. To find the right one, it's best to have a feel for yourself. That's why all our swatches are free.

Do you speak fabric?

Here's the lowdown on our lingo

Clever
Our Clever fabrics are so-called because they’re wonderfully spill-resistant and take splashes in their stride.
Rub Count
All our comfy fabrics come with a rub count which relates to how hard-wearing they are. The higher the count, the longer you can Loaf.
Slubby
We use the term ‘slubby’ to describe fabrics with slightly thicker yarns which create a more raised and irregular texture for a cosy, characterful feel.
