Huutt’s Guide to choosing the perfect fabric

1.Sourcing

Huutt has done all the hard groundwork for you. Our standards are very high – and with a heritage of over thirty years’ experience in the furniture industry - we’re able to source from leading British fabric design houses and amazing mills from around the world. Huutt’s fabrics are designed and woven using the best of traditional craft methods and state-of-the-art modern technology. We’ve tried and tested our new edit of over one hundred Huutt House Fabrics – curating a palette of beautiful fashionable colours, fabulous textures and striking weaves. 

2. Pricing and Budget

Huutt has secured some great deals with all our fabric partners – this is reflected in the superior quality and the price of the furniture that you select from us. We’ve also categorised our collections into three simple budget groups:
A £
B ££
C £££
We think you’ll find all our fabric groups very affordable.

3. Colour and Texture

Colour and texture is very often where your fabric decisions begin. Are you looking to draw attention to an ‘accent’ chair? Do you need your sofa to complement an overall interior style or theme? Are you taking inspiration from the colour or pattern of a favourite artwork or rug? Think about your fabric allowing your furniture to introduce character, reflect your personality and introduce a bit of stand-out style!

5. Composition

It really is worth your while taking note of the fabric’s composition. Think about how the furniture is going to be used in your home, having kids and/or pets around could mean that your default option is always going to be a practical, hard-wearing fabric. We’re also drawing your attention to the fabric’s Rub Test score (officially called The Martindale Test) – the standard industry test that calculates a fabric’s ability to withstand wear and tear.
