Upholstery Fabric Swatches to Feel at Home

Our fabric swatches let you see and feel the nine upholstery fabrics used on James & James upholstered chairs, stools and beds before you order. The palette spans bouclé, velvet, mohair, linen, performance linen and Ultra Leather in soft, natural tones.

Which upholstery fabric should I choose?

For daily dining: Oatmeal performance woven linen pairs a linen texture with easy care.
For texture: Bisque and Stone bouclé add depth and a casual feel.
For softness: Latte velvet and Mink mohair offer a soft hand.
For a leather look: Beige and Toffee Ultra Leather are supple and smooth.

Think about how the piece will be used. A dining chair pulled out every evening benefits from Oatmeal's durability, while an upholstered bed can lean into the softness of Mink or the relaxed character of Natural linen.

Color matters as much as material. Pale fabrics such as Bisque, Sand and Beige keep a room light, while Latte, Mink and Toffee bring a warmer, layered feel. Order two or three swatches to compare them against your wood finish and walls.

The Nine Fabrics

Bouclé: Bisque, with gentle texture, and Stone, in a natural hue.
Velvet and mohair: Latte in rich caramel and Mink with a delicate sheen.
Linen: Natural, which matures gracefully, and Sand, with airy softness.
Performance linen: Oatmeal, with the durability of synthetic fibers.
Ultra Leather: Beige in a light tone and Toffee in a cool-toned brown.

Each fabric was chosen to sit well beside solid wood. Lighter fabrics like Bisque and Sand brighten a darker finish, while Toffee and Latte add warmth to pale oak. Every fabric in the palette is used on our upholstered seating and beds, so a swatch reflects what you will receive.

Why Order a Swatch

Texture: photos cannot show how bouclé or mohair feels.
Color: fabric shifts with daylight and lamplight.
Pairing: hold swatches beside wood finish samples.

A swatch answers the questions a screen cannot, from how Mink catches light to how Natural linen drapes. Our swatch guide explains each fabric in more detail, and swatches pair naturally with wood finish samples when you are planning a full room.

Fabric Swatches FAQs

What upholstery fabric is best for dining chairs?

For dining chairs that see daily use, Oatmeal performance woven linen is a practical choice, pairing a linen texture with the durability and ease of synthetic fibers. Beige and Toffee Ultra Leather are smooth, supple alternatives, while Bisque and Stone bouclé add texture to the table.

Which upholstery fabrics feel the softest?

Latte velvet and Mink mohair offer the softest hand in our palette. Latte has a rich caramel tone, while Mink has a delicate sheen and a layered look. Both suit upholstered beds and seating where comfort and touch matter most.

Which fabric swatches are pale and which are warm-toned?

Bisque, Sand and Beige are our palest fabrics and keep a room light, while Latte, Mink and Toffee bring a warmer, layered feel. Stone, Natural and Oatmeal sit in the soft, natural middle. Order two or three swatches to compare against your wood finish and walls.

What furniture uses James & James upholstery fabrics?

Our nine upholstery fabrics are used on James & James upholstered dining chairs, stools and beds, and you choose your fabric on the product page. Every swatch comes from the palette we actually upholster with, so it shows what you will receive.

Why order a fabric swatch instead of choosing online?

A fabric swatch shows what photos cannot: how bouclé or mohair feels in the hand and how color shifts between daylight and lamplight. Holding swatches beside wood finish samples also helps you plan a full look, and our swatch guide explains each fabric in more detail.
