Discover how the right fabric can transform a beautiful piece of furniture into something truly personal.
When it comes to choosing furniture, we often begin with the shape, size and design. But there is another element that can make all the difference: the fabric.
The right upholstery has the ability to completely transform a piece of furniture. It can introduce colour, create warmth, add texture or bring a little personality into a room. A beautifully upholstered bed can become the centrepiece of a bedroom, a statement bedhead can set the tone for an entire space, and a carefully chosen ottoman can bring an interior together.
At Lilly & Lolly, we believe furniture should be as individual as the homes it lives in. That's why we offer an extensive collection of beautiful upholstery fabrics, giving you the freedom to create furniture that reflects your personal style.
Fabric Is More Than a Finishing Touch
Fabric plays an important role in how a room feels.
Soft, natural textures can create a relaxed and understated atmosphere, while rich velvets and distinctive woven fabrics introduce depth and sophistication. Patterns can add character, colour can bring energy, and subtle neutrals offer timeless versatility.
Think of upholstery as an opportunity to express your style. Rather than simply choosing a piece of furniture, you're creating something that feels considered, personal and completely at home in your space.
The Beauty of Texture, Colour and Pattern
One of the most exciting parts of designing upholstered furniture is exploring the possibilities that fabric offers.
Natural textures
Linen-inspired fabrics and understated woven textures bring an effortless elegance to interiors. Their natural appearance works beautifully in relaxed bedrooms, coastal-inspired spaces and contemporary family homes.
Velvet and luxurious finishes
For something a little more indulgent, velvet introduces softness, richness and beautiful depth of colour. It can transform a simple bedhead or ottoman into a striking design feature.
Patterns and prints
Florals, stripes, checks and geometric designs offer an opportunity to introduce personality and individuality. Whether you prefer a subtle pattern or something more expressive, the right print can make a room feel truly special. A print on an accent piece such as an ottoman can elevate a room.
Timeless neutrals
Soft whites, warm taupes, gentle greys and natural tones create a versatile foundation. These colours work beautifully across different interior styles and allow other elements of the room to shine.
One Design, Endless Possibilities
Imagine the same upholstered bed in completely different fabrics.
In a soft natural linen, it feels relaxed and timeless. In a beautiful floral print, it becomes playful and full of personality. In a rich textured velvet, it takes on a more sophisticated and luxurious feel.
The design remains the same, but the overall character changes entirely.
This is the beauty of choosing your own upholstery. It allows you to take a design you love and make it your own.
Our Archer Collection does just that - offering 6 options from plush velours, patterned houndstooth, stripes, luxurious linen and more. Here are just some ideas below.
