Can I buy fabric without using your upholstery services?

Yes, you’re welcome to purchase fabric from us even if you’re not currently using our upholstery services. We offer a thoughtfully curated selection of high-quality fabrics suitable for furniture, cushions, and a variety of decorative applications. If you’re unsure how much fabric your project requires, we can provide general yardage estimates based on standard furniture types or your project dimensions. We’re also happy to offer guidance to help you choose a fabric that aligns with your style, performance needs, and intended use. Whether you’re sourcing material for a DIY project, working with another upholsterer, or planning a future upholstery project, we’re happy to help. If you decide to work with us later for reupholstery, we can build on the fabric selections you've already considered to help make the process even more seamless.

Do you offer performance or washable fabrics?

Yes, we offer a wide selection of performance fabrics designed to withstand everyday life without compromising on appearance or comfort. These include washable, stain-resistant, fade-resistant, and moisture-tolerant options that work well for busy households, homes with children or pets, vacation rentals, and outdoor spaces. We’ll help you explore materials that are both attractive and easy to clean and maintain over time. Many of these fabrics replicate the texture and appearance of delicate materials such as linen or velvet while offering the durability of engineered weaves and synthetic blends. We carry trusted fabric brands known for high-performance materials and can also explain care and maintenance recommendations for each option. Whether you're refreshing dining chair cushions, updating outdoor pillows, or recovering a family room sofa, performance fabrics provide long-lasting durability without sacrificing style or comfort.

Can you help me match fabric to my furniture?

Absolutely. Matching fabric to your existing furniture or overall room setup is one of the most helpful parts of the process—and we're here to make it easy. Bring photos of your space, a cushion or pillow, or even paint and flooring samples. We'll help you find fabrics that complement your home’s palette, texture, and goals. Whether you're coordinating with existing upholstery or creating a focal point with a bold accent, we’ll guide you through color balance, pattern scale, and proportion. For those unsure of where to begin, we offer curated pairings and inspiration sets to spark ideas. We aim to create harmony—not just matching, but thoughtfully layering fabrics that bring out the best in your space. Our team can also help you plan across multiple pieces for a unified result that reflects your personal style with confidence.

What factors should I consider when selecting a fabric?

When selecting fabric, several key factors should be considered, as each plays a role in determining how the final piece will look, feel, and perform over time. First, consider the function: Is it a high-use item, such as a sofa? A decorative pillow? Outdoor cushions? Your intended use will influence the need for durability, cleanability, or fade resistance. Next, evaluate the visual impact: Color, texture, pattern, and sheen can dramatically change the mood of a space. We’ll help you assess how each fabric behaves in natural light, pairs with existing decor, and contributes to the overall feel of the room. You’ll also want to consider care and maintenance—some fabrics are washable, others require professional cleaning. Finally, consider scale and layering: Bold prints can work beautifully in small doses, while textured neutrals can effectively ground an entire space. We guide you through all of this, so your choice feels just right.

Do you offer fabric samples for customers to take home?

Yes, we offer fabric samples so you can take them home and view them in your space before making a final decision. Seeing a fabric in different lighting throughout the day can make a big difference—it may look one way in the shop and quite another under natural or artificial light at home. Bringing samples into your environment also lets you compare them directly with your furniture, flooring, wall color, and other textures in the room. Most samples are complimentary and available in swatch or memo sizes, depending on the supplier. If you're deciding between a few options, we recommend testing them side by side to see which speaks to your space and vision most clearly. If you're local to Sag Harbor, you're welcome to return samples when finished or request additional ones. It's an easy, helpful way to ensure your final selection feels right in context.
