Can you match my lounge to a specific fabric or colour I already have?

Yes! Fabric matching is one of the key advantages of custom manufacturing. Chilli Pip offers over 500 fabrics and leathers, providing extensive options for coordinating with existing décor, and can often source specific fabrics upon request.

Bring swatches of existing curtains, cushions, or room samples to your consultation. If you’ve found specific fabric elsewhere, many custom manufacturers can upholster using customer-supplied materials, though this requires discussion about yardage requirements and suitability.

For exact colour matching, understand that fabric composition affects final appearance. A polyester velvet in “navy” looks different from a cotton linen “navy.” Lighting conditions, texture, and sheen all influence perception. Testing samples in your actual space under your lighting provides the most accurate preview.

If you have discontinued fabric you’re trying to match, bring a sample. The team can search their supplier networks or suggest close alternatives. Digital photos help but don’t capture true colour due to screen variations and lighting differences.

Chilli Pip’s extensive fabric library includes options from leading Australian and international textile houses. During consultation, you’ll narrow choices by first identifying your preferred fabric type (velvet, linen, leather, microfiber), then selecting from colour options within that category.

Custom manufacturing flexibility means you’re not limited to predetermined colour schemes. You can even select different fabrics for cushions versus body, creating unique two-tone designs.
