Picking the Perfect Upholstery to Match Your Home's Style

Your sofa is likely the central piece of furniture in your living room. Its upholstery has a big impact on the vibe and aesthetic of your space. If your couch seems out of place, reupholstering is an easy way to make it complement your home’s decor.

When choosing new upholstery, consider your room’s color scheme. Look at the hues used in furniture, rugs, curtains, walls, and accessories. Aim for fabric that includes some of the same tones. This helps the upholstery tie into the decor.

Also think about the main style in the room. For traditional spaces, select classic patterns like florals or plaids in muted shades. Modern rooms call for solid prints or simple geometric designs. Rustic rooms can use durable fabrics like leather or cotton in earthy colors.

The texture of the fabric matters too. Formal living rooms tend to use smoother upholstery like velvet or linen. For casual family spaces, cozy textured cottons or nubby weaves add warmth.

Don’t overlook small details either. Metallic accents in a geometric print can reflect touches of chrome in the room. Contrast welting also coordinates with other fabrics used in pillows or curtains.

If your current upholstery looks outdated or doesn’t match your style, consider getting it redone. New fabric can make that sofa look custom. And switching up the pattern or color every few years keeps your decor feeling fresh.
