When designing your bespoke dining chairs or bar stools, there are several fabric combination possibilities to choose from. The available options are model-dependent, and below is a breakdown of the key fabric combinations:
All Over
For a cohesive look, you can upholster the entire chair in a single fabric. This option creates a seamless design across all areas of the chair, and it can work well for those seeking simplicity.
Inside Back
The inside back allows for additional creativity. You can choose a fabric that complements or contrasts with other areas of the chair. This option may vary depending on the model.
The inside back allows for additional creativity. You can choose to incorporate the pattern from the outside back onto the front of the chair so you see the pattern from all angles of the room. This option may vary depending on the model.
Outside Back
The outside back is often an area to introduce a complementary/contrasting fabric, depending on how much of the chair’s back will be visible in your space.
We advise this piece is your starting point when looking for split fabrics – you can then build the rest of the chair design around this.
Seat
The seat is typically where durability is a priority. You can select a fabric that fits both the look and function you want for everyday use.
Piping
Piping can be used to highlight the design by adding a fabric in a contrasting or matching style. This detail adds a refined touch to your chair.
A few helpful tips:
Depending on the pattern we sometimes advise against choosing patterns on a chair with buttons on the inside or outside back, as it can distort the pattern. This is also the same for vertical patterns such as stripes on the inside and outside back if the chair is curved.
Don’t worry—we’re always here to help guide you in choosing fabrics that will suit the chair model you have in mind.
This breakdown outlines the fabric combination options, allowing you to create a unique design based on the specific model of your custom chair.
