Mastering Fabric Upholstery: Style, Comfort & Durability
At Oliviers Furniture, we believe your upholstery should be as individual as you are. Specialising in fabric upholstery since 1978, our Richmond and barnard Castle workshops handcraft and reupholster sofas, armchairs, headboards and more—using premium, hard-wearing fabrics to suit every decor.
Whether you’re refreshing a family heirloom or commissioning a brand-new bespoke piece, our expert team guides you through fabric selection, cushion fillings and finishings to deliver comfort and style that lasts.
Why Choose Fabric for Your Furniture?
- Versatility of Design
From classic tweeds to contemporary velvets, fabric upholstery offers an unrivalled palette of colours, patterns and textures. Our partners source only high-performance fabrics—stain-resistant, fade-proof and tested for heavy domestic use. - Unmatched Comfort
Natural fibers like wool blends and cotton-linen mixes achieve a softer, warmer feel. Combine these with down-blend or high-resilience foam cushions to create sofas that welcome you home. - Sustainable Options
We stock eco-friendly fabrics woven from recycled yarns, organic cottons and water-based dye processes—so you can make stylish, responsible choices. - Cost-Effective Refresh
>Reupholstery breathes new life into your existing frames at a fraction of the cost of replacement—while preserving the character and quality of heirloom pieces.

How to Select the Perfect Fabric
- Assess Usage
High-traffic living rooms benefit from heavy-duty, cleanable weaves, while bedrooms can showcase delicate linens and silks. - Test Swatches at Home
Order multiple 20 × 20 cm fabric swatches—view them in morning, afternoon and evening light to see how colours shift. - Consider Maintenance
If you have pets or children, choose Crypton® treated fabrics or blends labelled “machine-washable.” - Harmonise with Decor
Coordinate upholstery with existing wood tones, rugs and wall colours—our in-store consultants are here to advise.
