💡 What You Should Ask Your Designer
- Which fabric brands do you recommend for sofas, dining chairs, beds?
- Do you provide fabric swatches & mood boards before finalizing?
- Can you source performance fabrics (stain-proof, washable, pet-friendly)?
- Do you suggest leather vs suede vs velvet based on room use (living vs lounge vs bedroom)?
- Will you give me a separate BOQ for upholstery with cost per meter?
⚠️ Red Flags
- Designer only suggests local unbranded fabrics 🚩 (won’t last in Delhi climate).
- No clarity on washability & maintenance.
- Uses cheap “leatherette” but charges for premium leather.
✅ Pro Tip
- For Living Room Sofas → Performance fabrics (Sunbrella, stain-resistant D’Decor).
- For Luxury Lounges/Bar Rooms → Leather, suede, velvet (Stanley, RR Décor).
- For Bedrooms → Soft linens, jacquards, velvets (Cottons & Satins, Good Earth).
- For Terraces/Outdoor → Sunbrella, Perennials.
👉 Do you want me to prepare a Furniture Fabric Selection Guide (Leather vs Suede vs Velvet vs Performance vs Outdoor) with cost, durability, maintenance, and best-use areas so you can decide material room by room with your designer?
