Choosing a Warwick fabric by room
- Family sofa or lounge: a heavy-commercial woven such as Eastwood or Jefferson, or Felix velvet for a softer look.
- Kitchen banquette or dining chairs: wipe-clean Lustrell Charisma or Lustrell Aura. Compare it with real leather in leather vs faux leather cushions.
- Window seat or reading nook: a textured plain like Eastwood with Lovely or Dion scatter cushions.
- Bedroom bench or bedhead: velvet-look Dion, Lovely or Felix.
- Cafés, hotels and rentals: Lustrell faux leather for seats; heavy-commercial wovens for backs.
- Windows: Antigua sheers or other Warwick curtain fabrics; for outside, Warwick outdoor curtains.
- Outdoor cushions: choose Sunbrella; read Sunbrella vs Warwick for why.
Care and protection
- Halo easy care: many Warwick wovens have Halo easy-care properties, so everyday spills blot away more easily.
- WarGuard and OnGuard: Warwick's stain and liquid protection, explained in WarGuard and OnGuard explained.
- Lustrell faux leather: wipe with a damp cloth; Warwick's care label allows a diluted bleach clean.
- Velvets: vacuum with a soft brush and blot spills straight away.

Warwick is a family-owned Australian textile house, established in Melbourne in 1966, with showrooms across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It designs upholstery, drapery, faux leather and outdoor fabrics.
Is Warwick fabric good for sofa cushions?
Yes. Many Warwick upholstery ranges are rated heavy commercial; Eastwood, for example, is rated at 56,000 Martindale rubs, well above what a home sofa needs.

Which Warwick fabric is best with kids and pets?
Lustrell faux leather wipes clean and doesn't hold pet hair. For a woven look, choose a range with Halo easy-care properties such as Eastwood or Jefferson, or a WarGuard fabric.

Aura is a smooth 100% PVC faux leather in 29 colours; Charisma has a textured leather grain, is 82% PVC and 18% polyester, and comes in 66 colours with us. Both are rated 150,000 rubs.
Can I use Warwick fabric outdoors?
The Warwick upholstery ranges we use for cushions are for indoor furniture. Warwick also makes outdoor fabrics, which we make into outdoor curtains; for outdoor cushions we recommend Sunbrella.
How much do Warwick cushions cost?
The price depends on the size, thickness, foam, shape and fabric range. Enter your measurements on any product page and the price updates in AUD before you add it to your cart.
Can I order just a cover in Warwick fabric?
Yes. If your foam is still in good shape, order a zippered cover only, cut to your foam size.
Can I see a Warwick colour before I order?
Yes. Order a swatch first so you can check the colour and texture in your own light.
How do I measure for Warwick cushions?
Measure width, depth and thickness in millimetres at the widest points, and trace a paper template for curved or angled seats.
Is Fabrica Kraft part of Warwick?
