A good sofa frame can easily last for decades, but the fabric covering it takes a daily beating. Between Kathmandu’s dust, family movie nights, and spilled tea, sofa covers eventually wear out, tear, or simply fade.
Instead of throwing away a perfectly strong wooden frame, reupholstering it with fresh fabric gives your living room a brand-new look for a fraction of the cost. At Maple Furnishing House, we provide a huge library of heavy-duty fabrics to help you bring your old furniture back to life.

Here is a simple guide to choosing the best fabric for your sofa.
| Fabric Type | Best For | Feel & Features |
| Polyester Blends | Family living rooms, daily use | Very tough, easy to clean, holds color well |
| Velvet | Fancy living rooms, cozy spaces | Super soft, warm in winter, rich colors |
| Leatherette | Dining chairs, offices | 100% wipeable, waterproof, modern look |
| Chenille / Jacquard | Traditional homes | Woven patterns, highly comfortable, textured |
If your sofa is the heart of your home, used by kids, pets, and guests every single day, you need a tough fabric. Synthetic blends like polyester and microfiber are made specifically to handle heavy traffic.
- Stain Resistance: They repel liquids much better than plain cotton, giving you time to wipe up spills before they soak into the cushion.
- Easy to Clean: A quick vacuum easily pulls Kathmandu's dry-season dust right out of the tight weave.
If you want your sofa to look and feel incredibly luxurious, velvet is the way to go. It adds an instant "wow" factor to the room and pairs beautifully with elegant custom curtains and drapes.
- Winter Warmth: Velvet naturally stays warm, making your seating super cozy during chilly Kathmandu winters.
- Deep Colors: Velvet holds rich colors (like emerald green, dark blue, and mustard yellow) better than almost any other material.
Why spend a fortune on a brand-new, imported sofa when your current frame is still rock solid? Buying fabric from a roll lets you be the designer. You can pick a texture and color that perfectly matches your fresh living room wallpaper or coordinates perfectly with your newly installed SPC vinyl flooring. It is the smartest way to get a custom, high-end look on a budget.
To choose the right fabric, you really need to feel its weight and texture in person. Visit our showroom to look through our heavy-duty fabric catalogs and find the exact material you need for your next furniture project.
