An Upholsterer's Guide with Hyde House
Date: Monday 14th September
Time: 3.30pm
Everything you need to know before choosing the perfect upholstery fabric.
Join Joanna Hauptman from Hyde House for an afternoon tea and an insightful discussion on selecting upholstery fabrics with confidence. Drawing on years of expertise, Joanna will share the key considerations every interior designer should know—from choosing the right fabric for different furniture shapes and understanding fabric stretch, durability, rub tests and fire regulations, to setting realistic expectations when specifying leather.
Whether you're specifying for residential or commercial projects, this session will equip you with the practical knowledge to make informed decisions, avoid common pitfalls, and confidently guide your clients towards the best upholstery choices.
