Why Quality Matters in Upholstery and Fabric Selection

August 25, 2025

Material quality matters when designing a beautiful space that stands the test of time. At Norwalk Furniture & Design, we guide our clients through choosing upholstery and textiles that offer style and durability.

High-quality fabrics hold up better over time, especially in areas of your home where you spend the most time, like living rooms and dining spaces. They resist fading, pilling, and make your home feel more luxurious. They also tend to be easier to clean and maintain shape, making them ideal for everyday living. Investing in the right upholstery materials means your furniture and drapery will not only look and feel great when you first get it, but last for years to come.


The visual impact of fabric can transform a room. From classic neutrals to bold patterns and rich textures, your textile choices set the tone for the entire space. Layering different fabrics, like linen, boucle, or fringe, can add depth and dimension to your design. We carry a curated selection of designer fabrics by the yard, ideal for upholstery, custom pillows, made-to-order drapery, and more!


At Norwalk, our experienced design team works with you to choose pieces that reflect your style to the smallest detail. With access to dozens of fabric vendors, we offer endless options for tailoring your space to your design aspirations. Stop by our Lexington showroom or schedule a consultation to explore our fabric library and upholstery options today!
