Be bold and add some color to your home decor to welcome in spring and summer. One way to get rid of the winter doldrums is to replace drab decorative elements with vibrant color. While element such as wall decorations, window treatments, and other accessories are important in this blog we will focus on how upholstery fabrics can brighten a room's decor.
Choosing the right fabric requires taken into account not only the color of the fabric but the texture as well. For instance chenille fabrics are soft and tend to have a warm, inviting texture, while bark cloths are stiffer and more vibrant in appearance. Depending on what your aim is you can find a fabric with both the right color and texture.
How can you get these fabrics to work for you? The most dramatic effect is produced by re-upholstering your existing furniture. Although it is a more expensive avenue to try it will have the greatest impact on your room. Smaller details can also be tweaked by using a fabric to make slipcovers or decorative pillows.
Here are some of the colorful fabrics you can use to renew your rooms:

Have you ever looked around your house and thought to yourself……I’d love to give this place a new look, but I don’t want to spend a fortune replacing furniture or flooring? We have five inexpensive and easy ways you can freshen up any room in your house simply by adding fabric!
1. Pillows: Pick out a bright fresh color, you can go with something wild, like an
animal print, or more conservative, possibly a
toile fabric. Pillows are a fun way to add spice to your room. Remember you are not committed to a certain look, pillows are an easy change. If one day you want blue put out your blue pillows, the next day put out your yellow ones! For this section we would recommend looking in the
novelty fabric section along with the
upholstery fabric and
decorative fabric sections.
2. Seat covers: This is the best and easiest way to freshen up your dinning room or kitchen. Take the seat off of your dining/kitchen chairs and staple your new fabric around the bottom of the seat…..and like magic, you have new chairs! You can go with an
ultra suede, or maybe an upholstery fabric that blends with your décor. 3/4 of a yard will cover 2 seats. 2 1/4 yards will be enough for 6 seats. We recommended any fabric in the
Upholstery fabric section or
Decorative fabric section.
3. Window swag: This one is so simple. Just pick out a fun or colorful fabric. Go to your local hardware store, even Target will do. Get 2 hooks, one for each side of the window. Once the hooks are up just drape the fabric from hook to hook and now you have just added a little flare to your window. We recommended
sheer fabric, but
chiffon is also a nice inexpensive cloth that has an elegant look and feel.
4. Window Shades: This is my favorite. Go to your local hardware store and purchase blackout shades (approx $5.00 per window) and they normally cut to size. Pick out a fabric of your choice and then glue the fabric onto the blackout shade. Now you have custom shades that would normally cost hundreds of dollars. Any of our
novelty fabric would be fun along with the
upholstery and designer fabrics.
5. Wall hanging: Simply pick your favorite fabric and staple it around a wooden frame that you can purchase at any craft store. This is an easy and low cost way to add artwork to your walls. Recommended fabrics: anything goes in this category. If you want to go a little wild, check out the
retro fabrics or you can even go with
tropical fabric.
Stay tuned for our future blogs for step-by-step instructions on how to create each of the five home décor fabric projects!
