Contemporary Fabrics for Furniture & Upholstery
Contemporary upholstery fabrics are like paintings woven into cloth. They are fun, loud, colorful, or tactile. Contemporary textiles can have large patterns or very intricate textures. Think weird angles, large florals mixed with bright colors, or oversized angular designs. The sky is the limit when it comes to contemporary and modern fabric designs, the weirder the better.
Basically, anything that pushes the envelope and breaks the mold of what you expect traditional fabrics to look and feel like is contemporary.

I do not include solids, geometrics, tweeds, or boucle fabrics in this section, yes they can be considered contemporary, but look for them in their own section. Only weird and unusual designs are listed under contemporary fabrics.
I love finding contemporary upholstery fabrics. They are absolutely the perfect choice for those smaller projects like pillows, dining room chairs, or headboards. Because they tend to be more of a statement, a little contemporary design goes a long way. Buy them fast, contemporary fabrics are always in high demand and Modern Fabrics sells contemporary fabrics at a huge discount.
