Material number 3: Upholstery

Upholstered chairs, tables and beds are those which have soft fabrics covering them like crushed velvet or linen. Take your time to find fabric that suits your taste and style. Looking for something soft and shiny? Silk might be the way to go. Want something thick and warm? Boucle would be right up your street. Most retailers upholster beds in fabrics such as crushed velvet or cotton so be sure to check on the retailer’s website for further details.
