TILIA Fabric

For families with children and pet owners, durable, stain-resistant materials such as flock, microfibre and water-repellent velours work best, as they are easy to clean and limit the absorption of liquids. For elegant, classic interiors, chenilles and weaves are a good choice, valued for their durability, pleasant texture and resistance to everyday use. When choosing, look at the Martindale test and the fabric weight.

Sofa fabric should be soft, pleasant against the skin and able to withstand everyday use. Choose a durable, easy-to-clean fabric that resists abrasion, dirt and pilling.

When choosing a sofa, match it to how you will use it – for sleeping on every day, a model with a sturdy fold-out mechanism and a comfortable mattress works best. It is also important to measure the space accurately, assess the quality of the filling and choose a durable fabric that stands up to everyday use.

Neutral colours such as grey and beige are timeless and versatile. They adapt well to changing trends, and a sofa in such a shade is easy to refresh with accessories such as cushions or a throw.

Stains, dust and signs of use show up more easily on a white sofa, so it needs more frequent care. If you do not want to clean it regularly, white may prove an impractical choice.

In small rooms, a light sofa helps make the space look bigger and brighter, as it reflects more light. In larger rooms, a darker model adds cosiness and makes the space feel more intimate.
