Things to Consider When Shopping for Upholstery Fabric
One of the best ways of adding new charms to your home is by changing the furniture. However, buying new furniture is expensive and is not something you would want to try out every year. A better idea is to upholster your furniture. Adding some new colors and patterns will automatically give a glimmering new look to your home and will give you a fresh feeling, almost similar to the one that you get in buying new furniture.
When it comes to choosing the furniture upholstery, there are a number of things that you need to keep in mind. People are usually concerned with colors and pattern, however, one very important aspect is to carefully compare the available range of upholstery fabric before buying it. Depending on the usage of the furniture and the environment of your home, you would want to go through a thorough scrutiny to make sure that the upholstery stays in its place in a bearable condition for a long time.
If you have pets in your home, then you need to give extra care to your upholstery as they are their genuine enemies. Moreover, it’s also important to consider the fact how much sunlight you furniture would be treated with daily. Some types of upholstery fabric may not bear continuous rays of sunlight and may wear down or lose their color more quickly than you may have assumed. It is advisable to discuss all your requirements with the salesman and get a written guarantee so that your money and effort do not go in vain.
Here are a few important tips for buying upholstery fabrics:
Do you have Pets?
If you are considering about buying leather for upholstering your furniture, then I would assume that you don’t have pets in your home. Someone who has a combination of these two better understands why I am saying this. Pets love to play with leather upholstery and this may mean a total catastrophe for you.
Animals find the leathery post a convenient and cozy place to relax and they would scratch it every now and then. No matter how much you are careful, you can’t avoid these scratches. And this damage once incurred, cannot be compensated. If your leather upholstery gets even a single claw, then you should already be gathering some money for a newer one. This is because even if you have a tiny hole in it, the upholstery fabric will continue to deteriorate. Starting from a tiny hole, your upholstery fabric will turn into a disaster. There is only one way out: replace the upholstery. So as a rule of thumb, if you have pets, you should avoid upholstery fabric made of leather.
What Combination of Color and Patter do You Prefer?
What will make your furniture look amazing is the pattern and color that you choose for the upholstery fabric. Now this completely depends upon the taste of the buyer. This also depends upon the interior design that you have in your rooms. People either go for matching or contrasting colors as they look more appealing to the eyes. But if you are someone who has a thing for going out of the box, then you can try a completely different combination for the upholstery fabric.
For making up your mind about the pattern and color of the upholstery fabric, you can browse the online catalogues of the stores. People, who want to give added effort to it, try out different designs on the computer before giving the final order. Getting a clear picture about how the final layout is going to look, will give you a sense of confidence that you are buying the right thing. It can be very painstaking and expensive to replace the upholstery once it’s been put into place.
What to Do for Smaller Rooms?
It is widely accepted fact that large patterns just don’t really blend well in smaller rooms. They can be overwhelming and you would easily get bored in a few months. For smaller rooms, you can go with plain upholstery fabric or patterns that are made up of smaller motifs. Large patterns may initially look compelling, but don’t hurry and think for a while. This design is something that you have to bear for several months or, perhaps, years. Take your decision wisely and see what is better in the longer term.
Does Your Room Gets Directly Sunlight?
It is also important to consider the fact how much sunlight your walls are going to bear. For instance, if you expect strong sunlight falling directly onto your walls, you should go for lightfast colors. Strong colors may not be able to bear this rugged condition and they will soon lose their charm and fade off.
Upholstery fabric is a key matter that you should give considerable time and planning. Don’t just fall for words and marketing clichés. Take a critical look on the available range and take your decision wisely.
