Upholstery at the Heart of Hospitality
In 2025, the hospitality industry is booming with investment and refurbishment projects. From boutique hotels to restaurant chains, upholstery plays a central role in how guests perceive comfort, quality, and style.
For upholsterers and manufacturers, this creates opportunities — but also challenges around durability, compliance, and design.
What Hospitality Clients Expect
Hospitality venues need fabrics and finishes that can withstand high traffic while maintaining their look. Stains, abrasion, and constant cleaning are everyday realities, which is why contract upholstery fabrics are non-negotiable.
Consumers also expect an environment that feels stylish and contemporary. Neutrals remain popular, but bold textures and accent colours are increasingly used to create atmosphere.

Compliance and Safety
Fire-retardant compliance is essential in hotels, bars, and restaurants. Upholstery must meet stringent standards, and suppliers must be trusted to deliver certified fabrics.
At Peter Cook, we provide FR-certified fabrics alongside technical support to ensure projects meet regulatory requirements without compromising design.
Beyond Fabrics: Complete Solutions
Hospitality furniture requires more than just fabrics. Adhesives, threads, and mechanisms all need to meet professional standards to ensure comfort, safety, and longevity.
