Light, texture and decorative depth

Choosing Metallic Fabric

Metallic fabric is not limited to bright gold or silver. Reflective yarns and surface treatments can introduce a fine glimmer, a softly aged patina or a more pronounced decorative shine. The effect changes with the weave, colour and direction of the light.

This collection brings together products identified by their suppliers as metallic, including fabrics containing metal fibre, metallic polyester, Lurex, zari or a documented metallic finish. Composition and performance remain product-specific.

Subtle lustre

Tonal metallic yarn can give a plain or textured weave depth without making the finished room feel overtly glamorous.

Decorative contrast

Gold, bronze, copper and silver details can define woven motifs, embroidery and expressive patterned surfaces.

Suitability by product

Check the recommended usage, care information, width and technical specification before selecting a fabric for its application.

Woven Metallic Yarns and Texture

When reflective yarn is integrated into the construction, it can highlight an irregular weave, trace a geometric structure or add points of light across an otherwise restrained cloth. Natural shades often produce a quiet mineral quality, while dark grounds create stronger contrast.

View a sample both in daylight and under the room’s evening lighting. The same fabric can appear comparatively matt from one angle and more reflective from another.

Transparency with a fine shimmer

Metallic Sheer and Curtain Fabric

Metallic sheers combine transparency with reflective detail, helping to soften daylight while adding movement across a window. The metallic element may be extremely fine, becoming visible only as the curtain changes angle or catches direct light.

For curtains and blinds, consider usable width, orientation, repeat, opacity, care and whether the cloth is intended to hang room-high. A metallic appearance does not itself establish suitability for a particular window treatment.

Metallic Upholstery Fabric

Metallic upholstery can range from quietly lustrous plains to patterned velvets and graphic jacquards. Used on an armchair, stool, headboard or occasional piece, it can bring light and definition without requiring the entire scheme to be metallic.

Select from products whose current specification includes upholstery, then consider abrasion, pilling, care, seam performance and the form of the furniture. A delicate metallic curtain fabric should not be assumed suitable for seating.

Embroidered, Jacquard and Velvet Metallics

Embroidery, jacquard and velvet constructions allow metallic elements to become part of the design rather than a uniform surface. Zari and Lurex may outline motifs, while changes in pile and weave can create contrasting matt and reflective areas.

Pattern scale and placement matter on cushions, blinds, furniture panels and headed curtains. Review the full product image and repeat dimensions as well as a physical sample when planning the finished piece.

A wider multi-brand collection

Designer Metallic Fabrics

Our metallic collection draws on many different design houses and textile traditions. Depending on current availability, it can include fabrics from Zinc, Casamance, Romo Black Edition, Dedar, Rubelli, Kvadrat, Kirkby Design, Sekers, JAB, Carlucci di Chivasso, Designers Guild, Pierre Frey and other brands represented in our catalogue.

Each supplier uses metallic material and finish differently. Order samples to compare the strength of the reflection, ground colour, handle and pattern at the point where the fabric will be used.

Frequently asked questions

Metallic Fabric FAQs

What is metallic fabric?

Metallic fabric is a broad decorative category covering textiles that incorporate reflective yarn, metallic fibre or a documented metallic surface effect. The precise composition and method vary by product.

Is metallic fabric only available in gold and silver?

No. Metallic effects can be combined with neutrals, bronze, copper, green, blue, pink and many other colours. Some designs are highly reflective, while others reveal only a fine shimmer.

Can metallic fabric be used for upholstery?

Selected metallic fabrics are suitable for upholstery, but not every product is. Confirm the listed usage and relevant performance information for the chosen fabric and intended piece of furniture.

Can metallic fabric be used for curtains and blinds?

Many metallic weaves, sheers and decorative fabrics are designed for curtains or blinds. Check the individual width, orientation, opacity, repeat and care instructions before ordering.

Are Lurex and zari metallic fabrics?

Lurex is a trade name commonly associated with metallised yarn, while zari describes decorative metallic thread used in woven or embroidered textiles. The fibre content and construction should still be checked on each product.

Will metallic fabric look the same in every light?

No. Reflective yarns and finishes react to the direction and strength of natural and artificial light. Viewing a sample in the intended room is the most reliable way to assess the effect.

Should I order a sample before buying?

Yes, where sampling is available. Screen images cannot fully reproduce reflectivity, texture or colour, and a sample lets you assess the fabric under the lighting in your own interior.
