Brown Faux Leather
A nice straightforward and great looking bar interior from Trevillion. The banquette and bar face/wall look great in the brown faux leather. As do too the bar stools with the brown faux leather upholstery.
At KOTHEA we have some of the best upholstery faux leathers available in the UK. We can also send faux leather samples to interior design professionals.
Black faux leather upholstery
Striking black faux leather upholstery contrasting with an ornate white wooden frame.
KOTHEA faux leathers are meet many of the most demanding interior design requirements our clients present us with. From marine walling to contract upholstery. We have it covered (ha ha!).
MY St David
More great design from London based superyacht designer, Andrew Winch. Simple, luxurious. The marine environment presents issues when choosing fabrics. The ever-present sunlight and rain/wind/salt focuses the yacht manager on maintaining surfaces even more so than a hotel’s housekeeper. KOTHEA have some great marine fabrics including white and beige faux leather.
Gold Fabric
Annabel Hall Design created this opulent and golden interior, probably in deepest, darkest Surrey. KOTHEA sell several gold fabrics ranging from luxurious silks to contract grade faux leather upholstery fabric.
Taupe Upholstery fabric
Designers 1508 London created this luxuriously designed London room Beautifully high ceilings with great attention to many details. We love the classically simple upholstery with a plain taupe-to-beige linen.
You can request samples of our fabulous textured upholstery from our main site.
Interior Designers: What Social Media Are The Best For ME
Most interior designers these days use social media. They might not use it effectively but they do use it. They might be using the wrong social media…but, yes, most still use it.
You: So, how do I best choose social media to ‘reach out’ (well that means “sell”, I guess) to my target markets?
Me: Well, silly, you use the same social media that your (potential-) clients use.
You: Ah! But what are they?
Me: Oh! 🙂
Well of course “It depends” is really the answer. Just as there are different types of interior designer so too are there different types of customer. If you understand your ‘type(s)’ of customer then you should already know where they digitally hang out. If, indeed, they do that sort of thing at all. Some won’t.
Anyway, as a guideline look at and consider the following:
A. Interior Designer With A Shop or online shops (e-commerce)
Choose: Mass-market retail-type social media: Twitter, pinterest, Google+ and Facebook
You need to work with images, with advertising and frequent/unique content in a highly sales driven way. Focussing on content that converts to sales leads.
B. Practice-Based Residential interior designer (mid-, top-end)
You need a great portfolio showcase somewhere. Probably on your own website. You might also reach out with your selected portfolio to PINTEREST. There’s also a good chance that many of your clients (or at least their partners) will use LINKEDIN. Showcase your service there as well.
You might also consider targeting advertising on facebook where you can select your demographic market quite precisely which will then, of course, mean that you should have a FACEBOOK presence as well.
As a one-off, you should also have a HOUZZ presence. But do not give too much away there. Make your content inspiring but tantalising. Link all the images and content back to YOUR website. Do NOT link to their website and let your leads go elsewhere.
C. Hotel / Commercial interior designers
Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest are the sites to use here. However, you CANNOT use them half-heartedly. You really have to interact on these sites. Not just with people looking at your content there but also, on Pinterest, with target clients.
Even then your success here will be limited. The phone call to find out about re-fits, office moves and new hotels will prove the best way to generate new leads. Perhaps couple that with industry knowledge site such as https://hotelprojectsworldwide.com.

Grey textured upholstery
Grey, textured upholstery looks wonderful on this Finn Juhl classic sofa. It has beautiful lines and contours – perhaps not quite ‘modern’ as we would define it these days but a great piece nevertheless. If you are upholstering YOUR sofa then look no further than KOTHEA’s many upholstery fabric – textured, plain, contact. We have a wide number of collections.
