HOME TEXTILES EDITOR

Eliot

I write and check the guides on Casamé Home: how covers fit, how a fabric behaves after a few washes, and what actually looks right on a real Australian living-room couch rather than in a styled photo.

Most guides start with a question a customer has already asked us. I answer it the way I'd answer a friend who rang me about it: measure first, then choose.

HOW I WORK

Measure first, then choose.

Every size range in a guide comes from the tape, not from memory.

BEFORE ANYTHING GOES LIVE

What gets checked

Before anything goes live I check the numbers against the size guide, read the care label for the fabric I'm describing, and match what I'm claiming to the supplier's own specification. If I can't confirm something, I leave it out or say plainly that it depends on your furniture.

Checked against the size guide

A cover that turns up in the wrong size is a wasted week, so every cm range comes from the guide, not from memory.

Care labels, not guesses

Wash temperatures and drying advice are taken from the label of the fabric, never generalised.

Tested on real sofas

Fit and stretch are judged on ordinary Australian couches, with loose cushions, rolled arms and pets.

Honest about gaps

When something depends on your furniture, the guide says so instead of promising.

What I check before a guide goes live

Measurements against the size guide. The care label of the exact fabric. The supplier specification for stretch and coverage. And whether the advice still holds on a couch that has a dog on it.

Something doesn't match your couch?

If a guide doesn't line up with what you're looking at in your own living room, tell us. That's usually how a guide gets better.
