Important points to consider when choosing fabrics - Colour - does it have to blend with other furnishings - or do you want a statement piece that stands out.
Durability - is it going to be used in a high traffic area, or occasional use.
Texture - Do you want a smooth finish or something with some depth.
Weight - With curtains, this could be how they hang, to upholstery and how a fabrics sits on the finished chair.
