Whether you’re reupholstering a favorite piece or designing a full-room refresh, Broad Street Interiors is here to help with our Fabric Consultations with one of our designers.
When you live in Savannah, you know the fall air isn’t just warm—it’s heavy, humid, and lingering. That same humidity that makes azaleas bloom can also take a toll on your home’s interiors if you don’t choose fabrics wisely. At Broad Street Interiors, we believe that style should never come at the cost of comfort or durability. That’s why we carry a curated collection of fall fabrics: breathable, low-maintenance, and beautiful fall fabrics—perfect for homes in coastal Georgia.
Whether you’re refreshing upholstery, choosing window treatments, or layering in accent textiles, here’s our breakdown of fall fabrics that stand up to Savannah’s climate while still feeling effortlessly luxe.
Here Are 4 Breathable, Low-Maintenance, and Beautiful Fall Fabrics
1. Cotton: Classic Comfort
Cotton is the workhorse of fall fabrics—lightweight, breathable, and versatile. Its natural fibers allow air to circulate, making it a practical choice for upholstery and slipcovers in spaces where you want comfort without worrying about stickiness in humid months.
- Why we love it: Cotton resists pilling, dyes beautifully for vibrant patterns, and works in both casual and polished settings.
- Best uses: Upholstery, slipcovers, throw pillows, and drapery.
Our favorites: We carry soft brushed cottons and performance cotton blends designed to withstand everyday living.
2. Linen: Effortless Luxury
If there’s one fabric that embodies “lightweight, low-maintenance, and luxe,” it’s linen. Known for its relaxed texture and airy weave, linen performs beautifully in Savannah’s climate. It absorbs moisture, dries quickly, and ages gracefully over time.
- Why we love it: Linen instantly elevates a space while staying casual enough for everyday living. Its natural creases are part of its charm.
- Best uses: Upholstery, drapery panels, accent chairs, and bedding.
Our favorites: We stock a wide range of linen upholstery fabrics in both solids and subtle patterns, perfect for timeless coastal-inspired interiors.
3. Indoor/Outdoor Blends: Performance Meets Style
Thanks to modern fabric technology, you don’t have to sacrifice beauty for durability. Indoor/outdoor blends are designed to handle everything from humidity to sun exposure, making them perfect for our climate—and for families with kids or pets.
- Why we love it: These fabrics resist fading, stains, and mildew, all while offering soft textures that feel just as refined as natural fibers.
- Best uses: Upholstery in high-traffic areas, sunroom furniture, dining chairs, and even outdoor cushions.
Our favorites: From sleek neutrals to bold patterns, our performance-grade fabric samples let you enjoy coastal living without the stress.
