Selecting Textiles for Winter

As the seasons shift, winter is the perfect time to bring in upholstery fabrics with depth and texture. Here are our go-to materials for creating cozy, elevated spaces. 

Mohair is soft, luxurious, timeless, and there are so many different types of mohair to love. Its natural sheen and durability make it an ideal choice for high traffic locations like accent chairs, dining chairs, or your whole sofa.

Wool and wool blends are warm, structured, classic, and beautiful for banquet sofas or any spaces that need quiet sophistication.

Luxury chenille and boucle are plush without feeling too heavy. They’re perfect for family-friendly chairs, lounge areas, or dining nooks.

Velvets are rich, eye catching, and elegant — a winter favorite for adding depth and a touch of drama.

Textured cotton is great to mix in to keep a space feeling casual and classic, while also adding durability and softness.

Winter upholstery looks best when layered — mix matte and plush textures for depth and visual warmth.

Pro tip, always consider durability, cleaning codes, and exposure. Invest in performance finishes, especially in designing spaces in high traffic rooms. A few thoughtful textile choices can completely transform a room, creating a home that feels warm, inviting, and beautifully lived-in.
