Upholstered Furniture Checklist
A designer’s shortcut for choosing upholstery that looks exquisite and performs beautifully—so you buy once and love it for years.
Upholstery is where comfort meets investment. And it’s also where even savvy homeowners get steered wrong—by vague performance claims, confusing fabric specs, or a quick showroom decision that doesn’t hold up to real life.
This checklist gives you a clear, designer-approved framework to confidently select sofas, chairs, and upholstered dining seating—without second-guessing your choices later.
Inside the checklist:
The must-ask questions before you fall in love with a silhouette
Fabric performance basics (in plain English) so you can compare options easily
Cushion, frame, and suspension guidelines that separate “pretty” from “heirloom-quality”
What matters most for pets, kids, entertaining, and second homes
The fit + scale checkpoints that prevent costly “it looked smaller in the showroom” mistakes
A quick checklist you can use in-store, with your workroom, or with your designer
Why it matters:
Well-chosen upholstery elevates the entire home. Poorly chosen upholstery becomes the regret you stare at every day.
Download the checklist and shop upholstery with confidence—and a designer’s discernment.
