Making The Decision To Go With Custom Upholstery

By Frances Keith


You have spent an entire day going from store to store and still not finding that perfect piece of furniture. Either the color or the design just isn't what you are looking for. It is not what you picture in your minds eye as belonging in your home. One option open to you is to have the furniture of your choice done in custom upholstery.

Items displayed on a showroom floor may be suitable for many but for those with that more eclectic taste, these models will seem humdrum and totally out of character. A good number of people wish for fabrics that compliment one another not only in color but in design. Mixing patterns are now most acceptable and pleasing.

Unless you want to settle for the mundane and have all the pieces you choose done in identical fabric, opting for custom can be a rather time consuming task. Surely you have made note of the large tomes of material swatches that are found in most upper end furniture stores. You will probably go through hundreds of selections before finding the perfect ones to compliment each other and make your design come alive.

It is a good thing to bring the room dimensions with you. Do a layout of the room on a piece of paper marking windows, doors, and the general placement of the present pieces. This will work as a draft for the trained associate to work with. Your thoughts and ideas will be much more easily understood. You may wish to begin by selecting fabric finish and move on to color choices and designs. Little by little your room will begin to take shape and an internet composition can be put together.

If this manner of working should result in making no decisions, these same people will come into your home. Once there, they will be better able to imagine the specifics you are eluding to. If necessary turn your project over to the professional along with your specific likes and dislikes and the will most likely be able to put together designs that are exactly what you are seeking.

Perhaps you already have top of the line furniture in your possession. It is a set that you purchased a number of years ago and the upholstery is beginning to show signs of wear and tear or you simply are ready for a change. Picking out a new fabric and allowing time for it to arrive can mean a completely new looking set withing a period of under six weeks in most cases.

Do not limit yourself to just living room pieces. Dining chair seats can be redone along with any piece of furniture in your home regardless of the room it belongs in. The same fabric can be sewn up in curtains and bedspreads. The ideas are only as endless as you choose them to be.

Upon completion, your new decor will be the envy of all those who enter. It will be hard to convince them that you did not hire an expensive interior designer to do all of the work for you. This goes to show that a bit of ingenuity will go a long way in making your design sense a simple matter of custom upholstery.
