Upholstery

 Upholstery choices for home use will vary according to the occupants' preferences.

We chose quality dark prints with a strong weave and durability for living room sets. The fabric also had a texture we found pleasing. [The children in the family were small, and we had dogs and cats for pets. We felt like we needed to be able to spot clean and wipe up spills.]

Before we upgraded to upholstered furniture, we had sturdy wooden living room sets with cushions that could be recovered or replaced. The covers were washable.

I like Sunbrella fabric and chose it when I had cushions or cushion covers made at an upholstery shop. The cushion covers are washable; more importantly, you can wipe them when spills occur, and the material tolerates the sun.

I don't think leather works well with cats for pets. In my family, we always chose cloth material and added throws. Cats have sharp claws and like to knead.

People with dust allergies might prefer leather upholstery.
