Put simply, furnishing fabrics are those which you can use to furnish your home; these could be for home decor and interiors, furnishing and upholstery or even soft furnishing fabrics such as cushions and bedding. Depending on the purpose of the furnishing, you will need different properties and characteristics for your material, and we have a range of personally selected textiles that are ideal for home furnishing for you to browse.
Soft furnishings, such as bedding and cushions, require a soft yet hard wearing material, preferably with little to no stretch; the last thing you want to be doing is trying to change the bedding and every time you get the quilt into the corners the cover stretches and is too big. Find and design the next fabric for your projects from a hand-picked selection of soft furnishing fabrics which are smooth and soft to the touch which are taut and non-stretch.
Home decor and interior fabrics, such as curtains, table linen and rugs and mats have much different requirements. You need a tough, stiff textile to withstand daily use for things like rugs, something waterproof or water resistant for table linens, and something with a good drape for curtain fabric. Browse a carefully selected range of furnishings fabrics to find just the right material to personalise for your next home DIY project.
Furnishing and upholstery materials are such an integral part of your home decor. From seat cushions to footstools you need fabric that you know can withstand people sitting down, getting up, climbing, resting and everything else in between. We have a huge selection of furnishing and upholstery fabrics each with unique textures, appearances and properties. All of which can be personalised with your own custom designs.
Due to the delicate nature of the Mulmul Soft Muslin fabric, some pulls are to be expected and this is not out of the ordinary.

All fabrics are printed by hand, to order in our Bags of Love studio. All of our print methods are digital including pigment printing and dye sublimation. Dye sublimation is where your personalised design is printed onto a transfer paper. Heat is then used to bond your custom design permanently to the fabric of your choice. Pigment printing is a more localised method, where the dye is applied directly to the fabric in precise locations to build up your custom created design. Please note that due to the nature of Cotton Linen and Pima Lawn Cotton there is a possibility of small white dots, where pieces of cotton fluff are removed revealing unprinted white base material, this is due to the processing methods used. Please note that this is normal and cannot be avoided but won't affect the strong colours and detailed nature of your print. To finish your furnishing fabrics, you can choose from two different hemming options, or have your personalised fabric sent to you without being hemmed; either cut on the line, with no white edges, or exactly as it comes from the printer.
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change colour using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Options’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results. What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
For most of our fabrics, there is no limit on the length of the fabric that you can order. We have a preview design window set up to 10m max to visualise the print, but that's not a print limit. If you'd like to order more, increase the quantity (x2 for 20m or x4 for 40m for example) and then you can order as much as you'd like, with a built-in automatic volume discount too. The maximum print width of each fabric can be found on the individual fabric pages or in our design interface.
Yes, that might help you! Always incorporate any extra space or boarders into your purchased fabric size. We trim squarely around fabric samples and fabric prints, leaving approximately 5mm white space. Cutting neatly on the line has an additional fee.
Crocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colours are used. It can be minimised by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. To avoid entirely, we would advise using a poly fabric.
Our organic fabrics do not have any coatings that the non-organic fabrics have. This means the ink absorbs into the fibres, reducing the colour strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super strong colours we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.
Unfortunately not; we like to test meticulously so that we know what gets best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, and if you have access to a heat press you can press your own fabrics easily.
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Just like many fabric printing processes, there is the potential for shrinkage. Depending on the fabric, please expect and allow between 2-8% shrinkage which you need to plan for in your dimensions. This percentage can vary from print run to print run and between fabrics, so we would advise ordering a little more material than you require for your project.
We do not offer to print on both sides of the fabric. A lot of our fabrics are semi-transparent or have some show through and this wouldn't work with double-sided printing. This is not a service that we offer on any of our fabrics.
At the moment no, our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now, this is the best choice. The labels are all cut the same way. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into label format.
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfilment. Rather than roll the fabrics, or send them in a tube, we fold them before they are sent out to you. This saves over 150 tubes a week, as well as a lot of space on the delivery van. (For delicate fabrics we ensure to package appropriately).
We work at improving our colour profiles all the time. Though rare it may happen that from one print run to another, and there could be slight colour differences, this is normal and part of the process when we are constantly improving. It is extremely unlikely that there will be a huge difference (like orange instead of red for example). Please bear in mind such colour variations can be intensified from fabric to fabric due to the varying grains and textures of the fabric; natural fabrics tend to have more muted colours than their poly alternatives. This is due to the construction of the materials as well as the print methods that have to be altered slightly for more delicate, natural textiles.
We have a full Cut & Sew service here at Bags of Love, and are able to hem your fabric prints for a small additional charge. We create a small one- or two-fold hem that typically uses 5 to 20mm of material, depending on the thickness of the fabric. So, for example, if you want a finished piece of fabric that measures 100 x 100cm, you will need to order a size of 101.5cm x 101.5cm to allow for the hem (on top of that please also allow for shrinkage of min 2%). The thicker the fabric, the bigger the hem will be. You can choose to have your prints hemmed with either Black or White thread. On our silk and other light woven fabrics, one hemmed edge will be straight (vertically down the roll) and the other will be slightly rippled. The hemming material allowances are as follows and you need to make your print bigger to accommodate the hem:
