Your Car Upholstery Guide: Choosing Color and Material

Purchasing a brand new car is one long process, new buyers find themselves in front of tons of options, from choosing the car’s brand, price, color, type, to finally deciding what upholstery should he/she chooses.

When buying a brand new car, you’ll have the option to decide what type and color of upholstery you want for your car, because most carmakers give you this privilege. 

So, how to pick the best furniture for your car? Let’s figure this out.

Choosing the Material

When it comes to material, you have multiple options, here we’ll know more about the most common materials which are medium cost and have good durability.

Leather

Leather is your go-to when you want that luxurious feeling and finish for your car, it’s durable, comfortable, and convenient. Not to mention that leather is easy to maintain and clean.

On the other hand, it’s considered expensive compared to fabric furniture for example. It’s also hard to repair, once you scratch it or damage it, it’ll cost you a pretty penny to repair it.

Fabric

Fabric upholstery includes polyester, nylon, and similar materials. Fabric is really easy to maintain, comfortable for all kinds of weather, it doesn’t get hot or cold like leather or vinyl. Fabric is also affordable and durable at the same time.

However, there are some downsides like it doesn’t give your car that premium feeling like leather does. It’s also more prone to stains and absorbs bad odors.

Vinyl

Although vinyl might sound like a cheap material, it has many pros, it’s easy to maintain, eco-friendly, and simple to clean.

On the other hand, it can be damaged quickly. Also, it looks cheap and can turn really hot in summer, so if you live in a place where it’s hot like the UAE, this is not a smart option for you.

Choosing the Color

Although most people will mostly care about how the exterior of their car looks, some others like to select everything by themselves.

Not to mention that the color of the interior is important, it plays a role in car valuation in Dubai, so when you want to sell or trade your vehicle, you’ll make a good deal because of its stylish color or good fabric that make your vehicle look expensive.

With that in mind, here are three of the most popular colors.

Black

There is no doubt that black is a universal color, it goes with almost any external color. However, black significantly absorbs heat, which can be a problem in hot regions like Dubai and an advantage in cold regions because it will offer a more warm interior.

Black is also a good option for drivers who own pets, or children because it covers dirt and you don’t have to constantly worry about every small stain on the furniture.

Beige

This color is noticeably hard to maintain its cleanliness, but it’s one excellent option for those who really care about their car’s style and appearance because it looks modern and elegant. 

Not to mention that this color and all the colors that look similar to it like white and cream can be aesthetically pleasing even when the exterior color of your car is dark.

However, it doesn’t absorb heat like black, so it should be your go-to if you live in a hot area.

Gray

Gray is considered a “safe” color, it’s suitable for most people, it also looks elegant and stylish while keeping the car’s interior temperature moderate compared to black.

Be careful when choosing the upholstery of your car, because eventually, your car will reflect your taste, and can actually affect its value when you want to sell your car in Dubai. Enjoy driving with a car that is customized just according to your preferences and personality!
