Stain resistance Boucle Fabric is a popular upholstery and drapery choice for its luxurious appearance and hardwearing, stain-resistant properties. This heavy fabric made of looped yarn is often compared to a soft sherpa fleece, but with a more natural, marled texture. It has been traditionally woven from wool, but it is now available in polyester as well. Although it is not naturally water-repellent, boucle can be treated with a Textile Care Kit that includes both a cleaner and protector that can be used to help make this gorgeous fabric more resistant to grease, oil, water, and other stain makers.
Boucle can be found on sleek, modern furniture pieces such as the chaise sectional pictured above. Built with a solid, kiln-dried hardwood frame wrapped in high resiliency foam and skillfully upholstered in your choice of durable lux velvet or indigenous boucle, this piece will be a one-of-a-kind addition to your living room. Boucle is a beautiful choice for accent seating as well, particularly when it is paired with simple frames or curves.
The knobby texture of boucle looks striking on simple frames and curvilinear shapes, as it helps to create a clean, sleek silhouette. Boucle also pairs beautifully with a more neutral color palette, as the nubby texture adds a touch of warmth to a room without competing with other colors.
If you choose to upholster your favorite piece of furniture with this lovely fabric, be sure to vacuum regularly to remove crumbs and dust. Regular cleaning will help to prevent stains by removing them before they have the opportunity to set. If a stain does occur, blotting it with warm water may be enough to remove it from the surface of your fabric. You can then use a mild stain remover to ensure that the blemish is completely removed from your piece of furniture.
Boucle can be a costly fabric, and it is important to keep in mind the costs when considering this material for your home. However, with proper care and maintenance, boucle will be a stylish and long-lasting option for your furniture. If you are interested in this fabric, you can shop it in our online store.
