There are many times when inherited pieces of furniture have a lot of life left in them, however the upholstery in Greenwich is a bit outdated or worn. If you have recently inherited a piece of furniture, you may want to consider reupholstering it, before you toss it or donate it to charity. Choosing the right upholstery is important though because you want to be sure that the piece looks stylish when you are done and that you are going to be happy with it for years to come. The following guide walks you through the process of choosing the right upholstery for any piece of furniture.
Choose the Material
When reupholstering a piece of furniture, there will be many different types of material from which you can choose. Leather, suede, and microfiber are all common materials that are used for upholstery in Greenwich. Take the time to consider the piece that you are reupholstering to choose the fabric that will look the best on it. Leather is very stylish, but doesn’t look great on every style of furniture.
Choose the Color
There are bold and more classic colors of upholstery material available. You want to choose a color that will make a statement, while not overwhelming the room. Choose a color that sets the piece apart from the other furniture in the room, but still gives it a classic feel.
Choose the Print
If you want to have a print on the piece, choose one that is not too busy. If you choose to use a print on the piece of furniture, be sure to have custom throw pillows made to use on the piece that are a solid color. This will help to calm any busyness that may be created when you look at the print.
Once all of these decisions have been made, your custom piece can be reupholstered to create a piece of furniture that you will be proud to display in your home. If you feel that this is too large of a task to undertake on your own, professional designers, such as Dominic’s Decorating have the skills and expertise to have your piece reupholstered in a stylish and unique way.
