Fabric selection is impossible to do from a website. The same fabric reads completely different against your actual wall color, in your actual light, next to your actual furniture. Our fabric selection service is a focused on-site visit where we bring physical samples and help you narrow hundreds of options to a few that actually work for your space.
Signs You Need Fabric Selection Service
You've been overwhelmed by online fabric options and can't make a decision. You're between three fabric finalists and need to see them in person before committing. You're trying to match or coordinate with existing pieces (rug, upholstery, throw pillows) and need to bring fabrics directly against them. You're working on multiple rooms and need a unified fabric story across the house.
Fabric selection is part of every drapery and Roman shade consultation — but for clients who want extra time with samples or are designing across multiple rooms, the dedicated fabric selection service gives you focused expertise without committing to a full drapery project yet.
Our Fabric Selection Service Options
Within fabric selection we bring physical samples from our full fabric library — typically 200+ options across silk blends, linen blends, cotton blends, velvet, polyester blends with linen-like texture, decorative weaves, and pattern lines. The visit includes color theory consultation (which colors will read "intentional" vs. "random" against your existing palette), texture pairing (how different fabric weights will look together in layered treatments), and pattern scaling (which patterns fit your room size).
We document the final selections and the visit deliverable includes the chosen fabric details, supplier information, and pricing context for the rooms we discussed.
Fabric Selection Service for Pittsburgh Homes & Businesses
Fabric selection service is most useful for homeowners across Pittsburgh who are renovating or refreshing multiple rooms and want a cohesive fabric story — common in older homes (Squirrel Hill, Mt. Lebanon, Sewickley) and design-forward new-builds (Sewickley Heights, Fox Chapel, Cranberry).
We install across Pittsburgh, Moon Township, Coraopolis, Sewickley, Robinson, Carnegie, Bridgeville, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Cranberry Township, Wexford, McCandless, Fox Chapel, and surrounding western Pennsylvania communities.
