General Questions

What is the difference between velvet, chenille and velour fabric?

Velvet is woven with a dense pile for a smooth, light-reflecting sheen, while chenille uses a fuzzy yarn that gives a soft, textured surface. Velour shares velvet’s plush feel but is knitted rather than woven, making it more flexible. All three are ideal for curtains, upholstery and accessories, depending on the finish you prefer.

Are velvet and chenille fabrics suitable for upholstery?

Yes — both are popular for upholstery because they balance softness with durability. Many options are rub-tested for heavy domestic use, meaning they’re practical as well as beautiful. For busy homes, consider a fire-retardant or stain-resistant finish for added peace of mind.

Can these fabrics be used for curtains or roman blinds?

Absolutely. The weight and drape of velvet and velour make them perfect for made to measure curtains or roman blinds. They add a sense of luxury and help block light effectively. A good lining will enhance their fall and protect against fading.

How should I care for velvet, chenille and velour fabrics?

Regular gentle vacuuming keeps pile fabrics fresh. Avoid vigorous rubbing if spills occur — instead, blot immediately with a clean cloth. Always check the care label; some velvets and chenilles can be professionally cleaned, while others are suitable for spot-cleaning. For more guidance, browse our fabric care advice articles.

Do you offer samples of velvet and chenille fabrics?

Yes — you can order free fabric samples directly from each product page. This helps you check texture, colour and weight before committing to your chosen design, ensuring a perfect match with your existing décor or new upholstery project.

How can I coordinate velvet or velour with other fabrics?

Mixing textures creates interest. Pair rich velvets with airy linen or relaxed cotton prints for balance. Our inspiration guides offer styling tips and colour ideas to help you achieve a layered, designer look across curtains, blinds and cushions.
