From Boho to Farmhouse—Find the Perfect Fabric Fit for Your Space

Upholstery is more than just functional—it’s a key element of your home’s personality. Whether you’re furnishing a single room or styling an entire space, the right fabric and texture can bring your interior design vision to life. At JD’s Upholstery, we help homeowners and business owners alike find custom upholstery solutions that complement a wide range of styles.

Not sure where to start? Here’s a quick guide to matching upholstery choices with today’s most popular interior design trends:


🌿 Boho (Bohemian)

Vibe: Eclectic, laid-back, global-inspired
Upholstery Tips: Boho style embraces bold patterns, earthy tones, and rich textures. Think woven fabrics, distressed leather, and playful prints. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different upholstery pieces—color and creativity are your friends here.

Top Picks: Kilim-inspired prints, velvet in jewel tones, macramé accents, suedes


🧊 Modern

Vibe: Clean lines, minimalism, functional elegance
Upholstery Tips: Less is more. Stick to sleek silhouettes and solid colors. Neutrals like gray, black, and white reign supreme, but don’t be afraid to add a bold pop of color for contrast. Materials should be smooth and structured.

Top Picks: Leather, microfiber, performance fabrics in solid colors, polished textures


🚜 Farmhouse

Vibe: Cozy, rustic, lived-in charm
Upholstery Tips: This style leans on natural fibers, soft color palettes, and distressed finishes. Use upholstery to create a welcoming, down-to-earth feel with a touch of vintage. Comfort is key, so plush fabrics and classic prints work well here.

Top Picks: Linen, cotton, ticking stripes, buffalo check, canvas, washed denim


🖼 Traditional

Vibe: Classic, timeless, elegant
Upholstery Tips: Rich fabrics and refined details define traditional spaces. Opt for structured furniture with rolled arms, tufting, and ornate woodwork, paired with upholstery that adds warmth and sophistication.

Top Picks: Damask, jacquard, velvet, leather, floral prints in warm hues


🌆 Industrial

Vibe: Urban, raw, edgy
Upholstery Tips: Industrial interiors blend metal, wood, and exposed architecture. Upholstery should balance the rough edges with comfort—leathers, darker fabrics, and minimalist designs work best.

Top Picks: Distressed leather, canvas, charcoal gray, industrial faux suede


🌸 Shabby Chic

Vibe: Feminine, vintage, soft
Upholstery Tips: Think floral prints, pastel hues, and fabrics that look a little time-worn. Slipcovers and gently faded finishes give this style its relaxed, romantic charm.

Top Picks: Faded florals, soft linens, pastel velvets, ruffled fabrics


🎨 Mid-Century Modern

Vibe: Retro, stylish, functional
Upholstery Tips: This timeless design style features clean lines, bold shapes, and low-profile furniture. Go with smooth textures, bold solids, or subtle geometric prints in warm, retro colors.

Top Picks: Tweed, wool blends, mustard yellow, teal, burnt orange
