CUSTOMIZE OUR COMFORTABLE FABRIC SOFAS TO YOUR STYLE
The perfect marriage of sofa silhouette and upholstery fabric for your home is the goal. So how do you get there?
You’ve come to the right place. This has been the heart of our mission since we began sustainably handcrafting custom seating at our North Carolina factory more than 30 years ago.
Start with a Comfortable Sofa
We believe that no matter what sofa style you choose, above all, it must sit comfortably. And along with this comes being comfortable with how the sofa is made (sustainably), where it is made (in the USA), and whether it will last (ours comes with a lifetime warranty).
A Sofa for Every Room
Before selecting upholstered sofas, think about the rooms they’ll be in and what activities happen there.
Family room: A sofa with a deeper sit, made for relaxing, is a favorite for this space. A lounge-like fabric or leather sectional sofa, in a modular configuration to fit your room, can be the perfect seating solution.
Formal living room: Consider living room seating with a more upright sit for conversation when entertaining. A great place for a pair of sofas: Create an intimate conversation area with two curved sofa facing each other. Or in a large space, create two separate seating areas with a sofa and accent chairs.
Primary bedroom: A petite sofa, sometimes referred to as a loveseat or a bedroom sofa, can be beautiful and practical at the foot of a bed. Or include an upholstered daybed or chaise lounge to create a cozy spot for relaxing.
Guest room/home office: Including a sleeper sofa (a sofa with a fold-out mattress inside) gives you a comfortable sit by day and instant overnight accommodations for guests.
A Fabric for Every Sofa
Whichever style of upholstered couches you choose, remember you’re not only making an investment in quality materials, but also in quality of life. For instance, if you have a busy households with kids and pets, or if you love to entertain, you can make life easier with low-maintenance performance fabric sofas that lessen worries about accidental spills and stains. We offer performance fabric couches in many fabric types, including velvets, chenilles, linens, cottons, and boucles.

Color Inspiration for Your Sofa Fabric
If you’re starting with an empty room, the sofa is a good place to begin. It can be the inspiration for your room’s overall color scheme.
Ask yourself if you want the sofa to be understated or make a statement. In a vibrant hue or a colorful print, it can be the focal point for the room. In a neutral fabric, it can support brighter accent pieces or blend serenely with a palette of soft earth tones.
Neutral fabrics are the most popular picks for sofas because of the versatility and timelessness they provide for this large investment piece. In a room with neutral walls, a sofa in a beige, gray, or taupe can help make the space appear larger and convey a unified look. It can also pair with most hues, allowing you more freedom to layer in more color and to refresh the room more easily over time.
Whether showpiece or foundational element, consider if a light- or dark-toned sofa will work best. In the past, a light sofa wasn’t an option for many homes, but with today’s easy-care and soft-to-touch performance fabrics, the choice is yours. A key to deciding can be your floor color. For example, a dark sofa on a dark floor may blend too much. However you can solve this by placing a light rug or coffee table in front of the sofa to define the space.
A designer-favorite way to choose a sofa color is to pull a hue from a beloved decorative element of a room, such as a rug or artwork.
Also consider the impact texture can have on a color, your sofa and your room. If beige sounds too boring, look for a textured woven textile with flecks of darker and lighter tones to warm it up. Grays in shades from light to dark can be eye-catching in a velvet with a soft sheen.
More Ways to Bring Color into Your Home
- Mix in more fabrics by adding a chair in a solid color complementary to your sofa or in a pattern that includes your sofa color.
- A fabric ottoman used as a coffee table/extra seating is a chance to bring in another color or pattern. And small pull-up ottomans can add pops of color or pattern, as well.
- Finishing touches like decorative pillows can visually link seating in a room for a cohesive look.
