Fabric Dining Chairs
Fabric dining chairs offer a softer, warmer feel to your dining area whilst giving you an extensive choice of colours, patterns, and textures to match your personal style. From rich velvets that add a luxurious touch to practical, stain-resistant materials perfect for everyday family life, fabric upholstery provides comfort that makes lingering at the table after meals a genuine pleasure. Our collection includes chairs with various design features such as high backs for additional support, low backs for a contemporary look, and options with or without arms to suit different table sizes and room layouts. Look out for details like button-back styling, vertical or horizontal stitching, box-edge cushioning, and different leg finishes ranging from natural oak to painted or metal bases. Many fabric chairs feature foam padding and sprung seats for added comfort during longer gatherings, whilst some include innovative flexibility systems that allow the chair to move naturally with your body. If you're drawn to the easy-clean properties and refined appearance of upholstered seating in a different material, our leather dining chairs provide an equally comfortable alternative with their own distinct character.

What's the best fabric to use for dining room chairs?
For dining chairs specifically, you want a fabric that can handle real daily use without looking tired after six months, which means tightly woven materials are a much safer bet than anything loosely textured or delicate. Velvet is a popular choice because it is more durable than it looks, responds well to a brush clean, and comes in a brilliant range of colours. Linen-effect and herringbone weaves are equally hardwearing and have a relaxed, natural quality that works well in most dining rooms. Our fabric dining chairs use upholstery chosen with longevity in mind, and many carry stain-resistant treatments as standard, which is genuinely useful in a room built around food and drink.
How do I clean fabric dining chairs?
For regular upkeep, a quick pass with a soft brush or the upholstery attachment on your vacuum is usually all it takes to keep fabric dining chairs looking decent day to day, lifting crumbs and dust before they have a chance to work into the fibres. For spills, act quickly: blot rather than rub, using a clean white cloth, and apply a small amount of upholstery cleaner or a mild solution of washing-up liquid and warm water, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow the fabric to dry naturally rather than applying heat and avoid over-wetting the material. Most of our fabric dining chairs have stain-resistant upholstery, which gives you a little more time to react.
