Browse Our Fabric Sources Yourself
The fabric searches from most of these houses allow you to narrow down their offerings by color, pattern, and category. One of the filters is often “use type” - make sure to select “Upholstery” so you don’t fall in love with a drapery fabric for your furniture.
Make a list of offerings that interest you and send it to us - we will get samples mailed to you at no charge.

Get Some Help Selecting A Fabric
Narrowing down to the right fabric can seem daunting. We've found a convenient way to make it easier.
By phone or email give us some basic ideas about your project
For example: the colors you have in mind, the colors already in the room, the type of pattern. Maybe you've bookmarked some examples on the web - send them to us. Perhaps you are working from paint and carpet samples - snap a photo of it and send it.
We Gather a Variety of Fabric Options For You
If your fabric ideas are rather specific - like "dark blue velvet" - we'll start mailing you some samples right away. And wait for your feedback to get more exact if needed.
If your fabric ideas are more exploratory - like "neutrals, but no large patterns" - we will email you pictures or links to suitable fabrics. You give us feedback and we modify our research. When you see fabrics that interest you, we send physical samples to your door.
Can I Get My Own Fabric?
Yes - be it from an online fabric seller, the fabric district, or from everyone's favorite fabric outlet.
May we make a few suggestions?
Verify that the fabric is suitable for upholstery and suitable for the upholstery use you intend. A low durability rating multi-purpose fabric will not last very long on heavily used chairs - for example.
Ask if you can return the fabric if it contains flaws. Skewed patterns, broken threads, permanent creases, and water marks are the most common. If possible, inspect the yardage before committing the purchase.
Ask if the yardage is coming from the same roll. Multiple pieces may come from different dye lots and may have color differences.
If you are buying custom fabric from the design center of a furniture retailer, check with us about the price and the delivery time. We represent many of the same resources. And have a more nimble ordering process. And far lower overhead costs.
If you want us to help you with the yardage required, let us know the repeat dimensions of the fabric you want to buy. Check out the lower section of the upholstery price and yardage guide for the repeat factors the pattern has on yardage.
And apply some degree of skepticism.
Discounted designer fabrics WITHOUT any distributor reference may not be designer level fabrics at all. So you end up paying 100% for a down market fabric that is advertised as 40% off designer stock, but is not designer stock. And you have no way to check.
Cheap ... errrrr ... affordable ... (right?) ... upholstery fabric is usually cheap for a few reasons.
It is open stock: produced in large quantities and widely available
It is discontinued and being sold on clearance: the distributor wants it off the shelf at cost and the gurus of discount fabric gobble up the fire sale and mark it up.
Mill ends: distributors are flushing out the odd bits of the same pattern from different mill runs to consolidate their stock.
Cheap is sometimes just cheap: what can I say?
