Upholstery Fabrics for Projects Across Ireland
Choosing the right upholstery fabric is an important part of any furniture or interior project. The fabric needs to complement the design while also being appropriate for the level of use, the furniture itself and the environment in which it will be installed.
At Kato Fabrics Ireland, we supply upholstery fabrics in a wide range of colours, textures, patterns and finishes, giving our customers greater flexibility when specifying materials for individual projects.
Our fabric ranges include plain fabrics, woven designs, prints and specialist finishes, with collections covering contemporary, traditional and statement interior styles. J Brown's collections include ranges such as Vintage Velvet, Amalfi, Cayman, Geneva, Palermo, Santana, Enzo, Bohemian, Chamonix, Carrera, Coastal, Tuscany, Harbour, Hendrix, Moritz, Modena, Olympia, Arizona, Evergreen and Paolo, among others.
This broad selection allows us to cater for everything from individual furniture reupholstery to larger commercial upholstery projects.
Velvet Upholstery Fabrics
Velvet upholstery fabric remains a popular choice for furniture that requires a luxurious and distinctive appearance. Its soft surface and rich visual character can add depth to sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, headboards and other upholstered furniture.
Our J Brown range includes the Vintage Velvet Collection, which features an extensive selection of colours including Navy, Teal, Ruby, Paprika, Pumpkin, Ochre, Olive, Graphite, Pearl, Stone and Hazelnut.
Velvet can work particularly well in:
-
Sofas and armchairs
-
Accent chairs
-
Headboards
-
Hospitality furniture
-
Restaurant seating
-
Hotel interiors
-
Statement furniture
-
Feature pieces in residential interiors
Plain Upholstery Fabrics
Plain upholstery fabrics provide a versatile foundation for furniture and interior schemes. They can be used independently for a clean, contemporary appearance or combined with patterned fabrics elsewhere within an interior.
Plain fabrics are particularly useful for furniture that needs to coordinate with existing décor. They can also provide a practical solution for commercial projects where a consistent colour scheme needs to be maintained across multiple items of furniture.
We supply plain fabric options in a variety of shades, allowing upholsterers and interior professionals to select colours suited to the specific project.
Plain upholstery fabrics are suitable for:
-
Sofas
-
Armchairs
-
Dining chairs
-
Office seating
-
Reception furniture
-
Hotel furniture
-
Restaurant seating
-
Bespoke upholstered furniture
Printed and Woven Upholstery Fabrics
For projects requiring more visual character, printed and woven upholstery fabrics can introduce colour, texture and pattern.
J Brown Fabrics categorises its collections across areas including Plains and Print & Weaves, providing different design approaches for upholstery and interior applications.
Patterned and woven fabrics can be particularly effective on feature chairs, occasional furniture, cushions and other pieces where the upholstery is intended to become a prominent part of the interior design.
For commercial environments, carefully selected patterns can also contribute to the identity of a space while helping furniture integrate with wider interior finishes.
Commercial Upholstery Fabrics
We are particularly pleased to supply J Brown Fabrics for commercial upholstery services. Commercial furniture can experience considerably more frequent use than furniture in a typical domestic environment, making fabric selection an important consideration.
Commercial upholstery projects can include furniture used in:
-
Hotels
-
Restaurants
-
Bars
-
Cafés
-
Offices
-
Reception areas
-
Healthcare environments
-
Leisure facilities
-
Retail premises
-
Public spaces
The appropriate specification depends on the particular application, furniture design and required performance characteristics. We can help customers identify suitable fabric options for their individual requirements.
For commercial projects, it is important to confirm the technical specification of the selected fabric before ordering, particularly where specific fire performance, cleaning, durability or other requirements apply.
Clever Clean Upholstery Fabrics
J Brown also offers its Clever Clean fabric quality label. According to J Brown, Clever Clean fabrics incorporate stain-resistant technology designed to help upholstery withstand everyday stains, with many marks removable using a damp cloth. The technology is available across a range of fabric types and designs.
This can make Clever Clean fabrics an attractive consideration for furniture that is likely to encounter regular use.
Potential applications include:
-
Family seating
-
Dining furniture
-
Hospitality furniture
-
Reception areas
-
Commercial seating
-
High-use upholstered furniture
Sustainable Upholstery Fabric Options
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important when specifying materials for furniture and interior projects. J Brown's Enviro Fabric approach includes fabrics made using recycled yarns and fabrics incorporating halogen-free flame-retardant technology.
J Brown states that its recycled fabrics can use recycled pre- and post-consumer waste instead of virgin raw materials. Its technical information also explains that approximately 80–100 half-litre PET bottles can be used in one metre of 100% recycled fabric.
These options provide upholstery professionals with another consideration when selecting materials for projects where recycled content and environmental credentials form part of the specification.
Upholstery Fabrics for Hotels, Restaurants and Hospitality
Furniture plays an important role in the appearance and atmosphere of hospitality environments. Hotel and restaurant upholstery fabrics need to complement the interior design while also meeting the practical requirements of the space.
We supply fabric options suitable for upholstered chairs, sofas, booths, headboards and other furniture used throughout hospitality settings.
A carefully selected upholstery fabric can help create a consistent visual identity across a venue. Different colours and textures can also be used to distinguish areas within the same premises, from reception and lounge spaces to dining areas and private rooms.
For commercial hospitality projects, the relevant technical specifications should always be checked before fabric selection is finalised.
Upholstery Fabrics for Furniture Manufacturers and Professional Upholsterers
Professional upholsterers and furniture manufacturers require dependable access to fabric ranges that provide both design flexibility and appropriate technical characteristics.
Our role is to make sourcing quality upholstery fabric in Ireland more convenient by supplying J Brown Fabrics nationwide. Customers can select from a broad range of collections rather than being restricted to a small selection of colours or finishes.
The right material can transform an existing piece of furniture, giving an older sofa, chair or headboard an entirely new appearance while allowing the finished piece to complement a particular interior scheme.
