decorative fabric

Upholstery or trim

Decorative fabric is textile used primarily for visual effect rather than clothing—upholstery, drapery, throw pillows, and similar home furnishings.

The term distinguishes these heavier, often patterned materials from apparel fabrics: The store specializes in decorative fabrics for interior design.
