Buying Guide

If you’re looking to reupholster a small upholstered armchair, here are some things that you should keep in mind when choosing the fabric:

  • For residential use, we recommend a rub count of 15000 or higher, especially if you have pets or kids that might put it through even more stress
  • Be sure to find a fabric in a color(s) that matches the palette of your seating area to ensure a consistent look
  • Woven fabrics are a more durable option than prints; however, if you prefer the latter, canvas will be the most reliable choice
  • Microfiber is a safe hypoallergenic fabric
  • Chenille is a very abrasion-resistant option
  • Velvet is the most luxurious fabric for a small reupholstered armchair but also one of the most delicate ones
  • Cotton is breathable and fairly budget-friendly
  • Linen is a beautiful choice for heirloom chairs but not the most practical for everyday use
  • Polyester is one of the most affordable fabrics as well as being super-easy to clean

If you’re considering purchasing a statement armchair and unsure what colors to choose, you should first evaluate the rest of your interior decor. If you want to go for a bold and eye-catching look, try out colors, materials, and designs that contrast with your main sofa. Mixing different colors, prints and textures adds visual interest and can transform a room. When deciding on these colors and designs, ensure you also include your other furniture, such as side tables, coffee tables, and other features.

For example, if most of your furniture is either white, black, gray, or neutrals, opting for a small upholstered armchair in a bright statement color, such as orange, pink, or blue, can instantly add a splash of excitement and showcase your unique sense of style.
