Customers are still surprised when they walk into an Incanda showroom and discover that all Incanda couches, chairs, and ottomans can be upholstered in fabric.This usually opens a whole new world of possibilities, which is exciting, but it can also feel daunting and somewhat overwhelming – we know!
To help make choosing a fabric for your couch or chairs fun and easy, Incanda has launched its own fabric library.This curated selection incorporates offerings from some of the best fabric houses in South Africa and offers a range of quality and cost-effective fabric options, in a variety of colours and textures.

So, if you are not really a leather person, or you would like to incorporate some fabric items with your existing leather pieces, here are some of the advantages of choosing to upholster in fabric:
So many shades to choose from
When it comes to choosing a fabric colour, you also have a range of colour shades from which you can pick and choose. This means you can select the perfect shade of green to compliment the colour in a carpet, curtains, wallpaper, or scatters. Simply introducing the perfect shade of colour can really bring a space to life!


You can mix it up
The woven nature of fabric allows for a mixing of colours, in either complementary or contrasting shades. Let’s say you have a lovely couch in deep, rich brown leather and you want to bring more warmth into a room, consider incorporating an occasional chair in lovely autumn colours – some reds, oranges, and maybe even some yellows.
On the opposite spectrum, combining a grey leather couch with an occasional chair, or even an ottoman, in a soft green can help bring balance to a somewhat cold space.
For the more adventurous types, there are some stunning patterned fabrics to choose from. One piece of furniture upholstered in a subtle or bold pattern can serve as the centrepiece of any room in the house.

It’s warm and inviting
Cool in summer, warm and cosy in winter – we are all drawn to the feel of a piece of fabric on our skin. Leather can be cold in winter and is sticky in humid weather while fabric is always comfortable, regardless of the season.


Fabrics also come in a variety of textures, from chunky and highly textured to soft and luxurious. This allows for a lot of freedom when it comes to creating an interesting, comfortable, and vibrant space.
You can determine how much you want to spend
Incanda offers a range of leather colours, all at the same price. With fabrics, you can determine how much you spend on a couch. Prices vary and our seasoned in-house decorators can help you find a fabric that not only suits your needs but your budget as well.
