Why Upholstery Choice Defines an Accent Chair
The fabric on an accent chair is not decoration—it determines cleanability, fire compliance, and replacement cycles.
Velvet: Luxurious But Demanding
For commercial use, specify polyester velvet with a minimum 50,000 Wyzenbeek double-rub rating. Cotton velvet absorbs stains and fades quickly—avoid it for any space with food service or direct sunlight.
Performance Linen Blends: The Hospitality Standard
Solution-dyed acrylic and polyester-linen blends offer the natural matte look of linen with vastly better durability.
