Everyone loves the sight of beautiful and tastefully arranged furniture in their homes. However, deciding which furniture is perfect for your home requires some level of planning from your end and some expertise from a reputed designer. Whether you are designing pieces for a new space or just want to revamp your existing room, your furniture should reflect your taste and style. Today, many are opting for custom upholstery furniture to achieve the perfect look for their homes. This is because most of the time, it is difficult to find the picture-perfect match for your space. So, rather than continually searching for the best fit, why not create one?
In this article, we are going to talk about all things custom upholstery, so read on.
Step 1: Consider your needs
The first step is the hardest and also the most important. Take your time, go through your home and decide what exactly you want. Think about what you are trying to solve by having your furniture custom upholstered. Look at the space around you. Do some research. Look up pictures online. Creating custom pieces is far more expensive than purchasing from a store. But they are worth it. And so, take your time, and decide what exactly you need.
Step 2: Look for something similar
By now you must have an idea of what you want. You probably found some missing pieces in your furniture. It’s time to go shopping! As excited, as you might be, we do not recommend designing a piece of furniture outright. There are a lot of things to consider including dimensions and stylistic features. Take your time and go to your nearest showroom. Look out for furniture pieces that you think will best fit the detail. The closer the furniture is to the ones in your home, the easier it would be to recreate the style.
Step 3: Figure out what you need to customize
Step 2 was to help make sure you don’t have to start from scratch and figure out all the dimensions yourself. Instead, you can take a similar piece, and then tweak the measurements, fabric, or foam to fit your specifications. In this step, consider what you want to change from the piece that you liked. If you like the seat, find out what it’s filled with and what type of foam it has. Finding a template for what you need is far easier than creating something from scratch.
Here are some key measurements to keep in mind for upholstered furniture:
1. Overall depth of the piece
2. Overall height of the piece
3. Seat height from the floor
4. Arm height from the floor
5. Arm width
6. Seating depth
When customizing your piece, keep the inner components in mind. As much as your furniture needs to look beautiful from the outside, it should be equally strong from the inside. Your furniture will last several years, so investing in good components will help you with that.
Step 4: Find a good upholsterer to work with
We can go on and on about the process of shopping and finding the perfect fit. But all that will go to waste if you are unable to find the right person to work with. And this is where we come in. We can help you not only with upholstering your furniture but also offer the fabrics to go with it. Rest assured, you can relax and choose from our large selection of products. Along with upholstery, we also offer reupholstery services to bring your old furniture back to life.
Step 5: Pick your fabric
This is very important and this is one of the steps where we recommend doing the highest amount of research. The fabric content of your custom upholstery is important to the overall look and feel of the piece. So don’t cut costs. If you wish to work with us, then we offer a range of fabrics from leather, cotton, silk, and velvet. The best fabric will give your home a unique look. Pick your fabric depending on your home situation. Do you have kids? Pets? Believe it or not, these play a vital role in your furniture life. This is why we recommend investing in highly stain-resistant and durable fabrics.
Another thing to keep in mind is the shape. If your furniture piece is curved, invest in a solid-colored fabric. A fabric piece that has prints on it may not look that well on a curved piece.
