Upholstery Fabrics: How to Refresh Your Furniture with Palais

Refreshing your furniture is one of the most rewarding ways to personalise your space. With Palais upholstery fabrics, you can transform sofas, chairs and benches into pieces that feel entirely your own — whether indoors or outdoors.

This guide explores the possibilities of working with upholstery fabric, from DIY projects to professional upholstery, and helps you decide which approach suits you best.

Indoor and outdoor upholstery fabrics

Palais offers upholstery fabrics designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Indoor fabrics focus on comfort, texture and durability, while outdoor fabrics are created to withstand moisture, sunlight and changing weather conditions.

Using the same fabric story across different spaces allows you to create a cohesive look throughout your home and garden.

DIY upholstery: creative freedom

Taking on a DIY upholstery project can be both fun and fulfilling. With the many tutorials and resources available today, it’s possible to learn the basics of reupholstering furniture — from removing old fabric to stretching and fixing new upholstery.

DIY upholstery gives you full creative control and allows you to work at your own pace, making it a great option for smaller projects or those who enjoy hands-on design.

Professional upholstery: expert craftsmanship

For larger or more complex furniture pieces, professional upholsterers offer expertise, precision and peace of mind. Their experience ensures a flawless finish and long-lasting result.

Palais fabrics are designed to support professional craftsmanship, making them a reliable choice for residential, hospitality or larger interior projects.

Ordering upholstery fabric

Palais upholstery fabrics are sold per metre, giving you full flexibility when planning your project. This allows you to order exactly the amount of fabric you need, whether you’re upholstering a single chair or working on a larger piece of furniture.

If you’d like to experience the fabric before committing, fabric samples are available. This allows you to feel the texture, assess the colour and see how the pattern works in your space.
