Jacquard fabrics are renowned for their intricate woven patterns, durability, and timeless elegance. Using a special weaving technique developed in the early 19th century, jacquard textiles bring depth and sophistication to interiors. At Studio 198, we offer a curated collection of jacquard fabrics in a variety of patterns, textures, and colours, perfect for both traditional and contemporary spaces.

What are jacquard fabrics?

Jacquard fabrics are created using a special loom that weaves patterns directly into the fabric, rather than printing them on the surface. This technique allows for complex, textured designs such as florals, damasks, geometrics, and abstract motifs. They are often made from cotton, silk, polyester, or blended fibres, giving them both strength and versatility.

Why choose jacquard fabrics?

  • Luxury look – Rich textures and intricate woven patterns.

  • Durable – Strong and long-lasting, ideal for upholstery.

  • Versatile designs – From traditional damasks to modern geometrics.

  • Timeless appeal – A fabric that never goes out of style.

Where can jacquard fabrics be used?

Jacquard fabrics are ideal for:

  • Upholstery – Sofas, chairs, and headboards.

  • Curtains & drapery – Elegant, heavy fabrics with structured drape.

  • Cushions & accessories – Add rich detail in smaller accents.

  • Commercial interiors – Hotels, restaurants, and luxury projects.

How to style jacquard fabrics

  • Use floral jacquards for traditional or heritage-inspired interiors.

  • Pair geometric jacquards with minimalist furniture for a modern look.

  • Combine with velvet or silk for a layered, luxurious finish.

  • Use jacquard cushions or throws to add detail to plain upholstery.
