ROOM & BOARD "TATUM" VS. "VANCE"

SOFA FABRIC A: 50,000 Wyzenbeek double rubs - 64% poly/36% acryclic boucle "TATUM"

SOFA FABRIC B: 100,000 Wyzenbeek double rubs - 90% poly/10% poly velvet "VANCE"

Considerations:

In testing all the R&B fabrics for cleanability, TATUM hid stains well and cleaned up nicely, while VANCE had a stain-repellant beading effect with liquids.

Sofa will be in a living/dining combo. The dining chairs are an ivory/putty leather (Stressless/Ekornes Paloma in "Fog").

Sofa will get daily use by 2 coffee addicted adults and 2 loveable but oblivious teens. Sofa will get a lot of "flop and lounge" action. Kittens are on the horizon. Large windows (NW and SW bright light) make fading a concern. Living with an espresso brown leather sofa has been so forgiving, so it's hard for me to the make the jump to upholstery fabric. Still, it's on to something new.

I have tried what feels like 10,000 swatches and really want to know if either of these last two contenders will work. THANK YOU to everyone who helped on this room in it's various stages. I have only the sofa and paint choices left.
