When you are preparing to have a much loved piece of furniture reupholstered, there are several factors you should take into consideration before settling on the type of seat upholstery you will use. Here are a few things to think about before you begin your seat upholstery project.
The first question has to do with how much traffic the new seat upholstery will endure on a regular basis. There is a big difference between changing the upholstery on an occasional chair that works as part of the decoration in your entry way, and replacing theupholstery on the sofa in the family room. Your basic rule of thumb should be that any piece that sees regular use deserves seat upholstery that is durable over time. Save the more delicate fabrics and other forms of upholstery for pieces that are more cosmetic than functional.
Next, take into consideration that you will need seat upholstery that will work well with your overall color scheme. You may love that faux leather material that has that great red racing stripe down the middle, but if you are working on pieces for your formal living room, chances are the stripe will not compliment your existing décor. Combine the need
to find durable upholstery with the desire to find a pattern or solid that works with what you already have going on in the room. Last, there is always the matter of price. Unless you get to work with an unlimited budget, you probably have a good idea of how much you can spend on your new seat upholstery. Keep to your budget. With some god detective work, you can find what you need in your price range. Go to discount houses and look around. You may find just what you need on a bargain table. |
