Contract Textile Studio
Hospitality Fabrics UK for Hotels & Commercial Interiors.
From boutique hotels and luxury restaurants to cafés, serviced apartments, healthcare environments and leisure venues, selecting the right textile solutions directly influences guest experience, maintenance costs and long-term performance.
Bespoke, Not Off the Shelf
At Nilstar®, we specialise in bespoke hospitality fabrics developed specifically for contract projects. Rather than supplying generic stock fabrics, we work alongside architects, interior designers, furniture manufacturers and hospitality operators to develop textile collections tailored to each project's functional and aesthetic requirements.
Whether your project requires fire-retardant upholstery, custom woven jacquards, decorative curtains, acoustic textiles, outdoor performance fabrics or branded interior solutions, our performance fabric development service focuses on combining technical performance with timeless design.
What Are Hospitality Fabrics?
Hospitality fabrics are commercial-grade textiles specifically engineered for hotels, restaurants, cafés, bars, offices, cruise ships, serviced apartments, healthcare environments and public spaces. Unlike residential fabrics, hospitality textiles are designed to withstand:
- Heavy daily use
- Frequent cleaning
- High abrasion
- Fire safety regulations
- Colour fading
- Commercial maintenance routines
- Continuous public traffic
These fabrics help businesses maintain attractive interiors while reducing replacement costs over time.

- Custom woven fabrics
- Bespoke jacquard upholstery
- Contract curtain fabrics
- Decorative woven textures
- Restaurant seating fabrics
- Hotel upholstery fabrics
- Outdoor hospitality fabrics
- Branded textile collections
- Yarn selection
- Colour matching
- Texture development
- Pattern engineering
- Custom weaving
- Performance finishing
