Furniture upholstery. Or how to buy a sofa so that it becomes not only a comfortable place to relax, but also a wonderful element in the interior
The decision has been made and you are standing in the store looking at the many sofas. And your eyes run up, you don't know which one to choose and what to focus on when buying. Let's figure it out!
Good afternoon dear friends!
I recently became an unwilling listener to a conversation between two women. And it was like this: he was looking after himself a sleeping bed and stopped beside one, and two ladies of respectable age stood at a distance. They were about to buy a sofa for the newlyweds, and one of the other pointed to one of the options. The second woman objected that the furniture did not match the color scheme. Her interlocutor instantly reacted that the design was out of place, the main thing was that it was durable, and added that they would cover it with a blanket anyway. I was slightly amazed at the approach of the "girls" to upholstered furniture: if you choose a sofa like that, then army bunks will suit their children, anyway they will cover them with a "blanket". And in this regard, I decided to write 5 practical tipsthat can help in this difficult question.
1.Interior style. Heading to the store, you need to decide in advance in what style you want to see your monastery (bedroom, living room, nursery ...): loft, Scandinavian, shabby chic, industrial, hi-tech or minimalism.
After all, the choice of upholstery material for upholstered furniture (its properties, color palette and type) directly depends on this.
2.Operational properties. Upholstered furniture in the house is a reflection of the taste and sense of style of household members, their idea of comfort. Therefore, the main criterion is the functionality of textiles - its performance properties. Here it is necessary to emphasize: what is a sofa for?
If the sofa serves as a decorative element in the interior, then expensive upholstery (velvet) is appropriate. In the case when upholstered furniture is chosen for everyday use, then you should pay attention to the dense texture of the material, which is more durable (artificial suede, flock).
3.Feature of space. The space where the headset will stand is also important when choosing an upholstery. Namely: an apartment for rent, a main house or a summer house ...
Plus, don't forget about lighting. For example, in a dark room, upholstery in a light tone will look amazing, in a light room - dark.
4.Color palette. The hardest test is the choice of color for the upholstery. Here you should be guided not only by your preferences, but also by how it will be combined with the style of the interior as a whole. For example, if the room is made in a Scandinavian style, then it would be more correct to choose upholstery in light colors (blue, pink, green, gray ...), shabby chic - white.
If there is a desire to make the sofa the main accent in the room, despite the style of the interior, then you can use textiles with a multi-colored or monochromatic print.
5.Perfect material. Silk, linen, cotton, suede, velvet, chenille, etc. Quite a provocative question, since everything depends on the style of the interior. For example, leather or suede is perfect for a vintage style, velvet for shabby chic, cotton or linen for Scandinavian style.
By the way, a combination of styles and materials also takes place, but only if you have a sense of taste and style. Since this task is not easy even for a designer!
