There are few things I'm more passionate about in the design space than upholstered furniture. From texture to color to the way each piece invites you to sit, designing a beautifully covered sofa or chair is something I never tire of getting right. Over the past few years, we've expanded our custom upholstery offerings considerably, and our newest pieces feature some of my favorite fabrics to date. They all come from Sunbrella Interiors, and I'm genuinely thrilled to share them with you!

Fabrics That Pair Style & Performance

Founded in 1961, Sunbrella was an early pioneer in the fabric space, and they’ve been a trusted source for performance materials for decades. Sunbrella Interiors fabrics bring all the technical expertise of this legendary brand indoors, without sacrificing an ounce of style or craftsmanship. The result is a collection of upholstery fabrics that are resistant to stains, water, mold, mildew, fading, and pilling—and that are completely PFAS-free. Every fabric is GREENGUARD Gold Certified for low chemical emissions and STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning they've been rigorously tested to ensure no harmful substances are present. For families with young children, pets, or simply a lot of life happening in their home, these credentials genuinely matter. And on top of it all, the fabrics are just gorgeous!

Sunbrella Interiors Fabrics We Adore, Now at Kathy Kuo Home 

We're offering three new Sunbrella Interiors fabrics across our custom upholstery collection, and each one brings something unique to the table. Here's a closer look at what makes them special.

Sunbrella Performance Stripe

This is the fabric you reach for when you want something that feels both crisp and effortless. The Sea Breeze colorway pairs blue and white in a woven ticking stripe—a classic pattern that reads as coastal but works with any aesthetic. It’s a pattern that’s made to be mixed and matched for a layered, design-forward look. That’s exactly why we paired it with our Sunbrella Botanical Weave fabric on a few of our newest silhouettes: the Frederica ottoman, Monterey bench, and Coralie chair.

Sunbrella Performance Botanical Weave

If you've been searching for a floral fabric that feels grown-up yet playful, this is it. The Garden Mist colorway layers soft blue tones with neutral hues in an illustrative botanical motif, with a subtly textural weave that's reminiscent of embroidery. This is a super soft fabric with a gentle sheen that catches the light in the most lovely way. It’s a textile that feels elegant, nostalgic, and deeply livable.

Sunbrella Performance Slub Weave

This is the fabric I recommend when clients want the look and feel of Belgian linen with all the durability of a performance material. The gently slubbed texture gives each colorway an organic, handwoven quality, while the solution-dyed acrylic material means it holds up beautifully over time. We currently offer this fabric in three timeless, versatile colors: earthy Pebble Green, grounding Blue Haze, and crisp Canvas White.

Experience Each Fabric At Home

I always say that fabric is one of those things you truly have to feel to fully appreciate. Nothing replaces the experience of running a swatch across your fingertips and holding it up to the light in your own home. That's why we offer free fabric swatches for the majority of our custom upholstered furniture. It's the very best way to make a confident, informed decision before you commit to a custom piece. Feel the texture of each fabric and see how the colors shift in your space throughout the day. Visit any Kathy Kuo Home upholstery product page to order your swatches of choice!
