Texture, care, light and frequency of use are four useful starting points.
Compare actual samples
Photography cannot fully convey temperature, grain or hand feel. Request samples for the exact upholstery code and compare them with existing materials. Leather finishes and textile compositions vary substantially.
Consider the household
For children, pets or frequent use, ask for the brand’s abrasion, cleaning and suitability information. Broad labels alone do not establish whether a material suits your household.
Follow the product-specific guidance
Finishes react differently to moisture and cleaners. Follow the care instructions for the exact material code and test the recommended method in an inconspicuous area. Ask a specialist to assess uncertain stains.
