Are you planning to change your upholstery in your house? Home stylist and decor consultant Shraddha Jhaveri gives simple tips to help you make the right choice.
- First and foremost keep a theme in mind before you start your purchase. This will make your shopping easier.
- Check whether the material has woven patterns instead of prints as it lasts longer. Another thing to keep in mind if there are pets at home, ensure to pick durable fabrics.
- The feel of fabric is also another important factor to be considered while purchasing upholstery. If softness is your preference then velvet is you best bet and for a rough look, leather is the apt option.
- If you have a luxury theme in mind, opt for velvet fabric for your upholstery. On the other hand, for a casual theme, you can consider rough weaves.
- For Moroccan or Indian style, go for printed velvet fabric. Use it on the backrest. Also ensure the fabrics blend well with the interiors theme that exists in your home.
- Upholstery with printed designs looks great on chairs. There is a variety of options available. Choose according to your preference.
