Settee Design Furniture Tips: How to work with fabric with a pile

Fabrics like velvet have what is referred to as a pile, meaning it has a direction in which the material flows. If you run your hand down the fabric it’s smooth and rough if you run your hand up. If pieces are going in a different direction other than downwards, then the colour will change from one section to another.

Don’t use the existing fabric as a template

Depending on the fabric’s type and how long it has been on the settee, it could have stretched. It is not uncommon that the extra fabric that is generally used for pulling requires to get trimmed. You should measure off of the furniture piece and add 3 to 4 inches for tightening/pulling.

Stay consistent with the fabric’s direction

Even if your fabric does not have a pile and is solid, it’s still recommended to run the fabric in the same direction throughout the whole piece. This is because the fabric can read differently from different directions.

Take lots of notes and pictures

As you’re removing the fabric take notes and photos of what order you take the pieces off. This will help you in reupholstering your piece.
