Did you purchase a new sofa for your living room, only to realize with dismay that the color or pattern doesn't work well with your space? Do you love the furniture design of your new armchair but wish it was stain-resistant for the sake of your kids?
Or maybe...just maybe...you are outfitting your dream home. You've been eyeing up that living room set, but you aren't totally in love with the manufacturer's design.
Before you try to return your sofa, let your kids ruin your armchair, or pass up that dream living room set, just know there is a solution to your problem: custom upholstery.
PROBLEM: "I LIKE THE OVERALL DESIGN OF MY FURNITURE, BUT THE COLOR IS WRONG."
You fell in love with your sofa on the showroom floor or in an online store but, like many first impressions, this one left you feeling disappointed and your wallet a little less full when the furniture finally arrived to your living room.
What now? You still love the design but the fabric has you cringing...and you're dreading the return process.
Solution: Work with a professional upholstery company (yep, that's us!) to select new fabric and reupholster your furniture. Goodbye, cookiecutter. Hello, custom.
PROBLEM: "MY KIDS ARE GOING TO RUIN MY SOFA..."
You wouldn't trade your children for the world (most days), and you'd feel more at ease with their messy behavior if you knew the arms of your furniture wouldn't be left with juice stains. Just because you're raising a small pack of tiny humans doesn't mean your home should take the brunt of it, right?
Solution: Ask your professional upholstery company to create slipcovers made of Crypton material (waterproof and stain resistant for pets and kids) or opt for a full reupholstery with Crypton.
PROBLEM: "I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PERFECT FURNITURE PIECES FOR MY DREAM HOME."
When you are finally able to buy or build your dream home, the last thing you want to furnish it with are big box store items...because you know your sister, your neighbor, and your old college professor all purchased the same things. You want your home to reflect the years of dedication, dreaming, and planning it took to reach this point in your life.
Solution: Opt for completely custom furniture, from the frame and fabric to the hardware selections and coordinating throw pillows.
DESIGN TREND
King-size beds take the crown
According to the Sleep Council, more people are choosing king size beds than ever before. This means bigger bedrooms, more linens, and many throw pillows are in our future.
DESIGN TIP
Do a thorough background check
Before hiring an upholstery professional, ask to see samples of their work. Note the attention to detail, the level of craftsmanship, and the durability of each piece.
