When it comes to getting your favorite recliner recovered, there are many things to consider before you start. If you are thinking of buying new furniture, consider that there are always other options that can save you money. If you have a favorite couch, why not throw a mink blanket on it? Everyone will enjoy the luxurious, soft covering. If you have matching sofas, try a neutral upholstery with fringe pillows. Remember that people in the upholstery industry are available for recommendations and advice on just about any style of furniture you own. To give your room a more modern look, get rid of kick pleats or eliminate the skirt altogether which will allow you to add decorative legs or other finishing touches to the bottom of the furniture. Sectional sofas are always good candidates for a reupholstering project. Ask your upholsterer to use fewer seat cushions and you will enjoy a sleeker look. You can cut down the number from four to three cushions or even from three to two seat cushions, if you wish.

If you have furniture that was made in the 70's, it is often made in a house style with straight arms. You can have them redo the arm styles into a softer, rounder design. When you update furniture, you can add some gorgeous slipcovers or even a fleece throw blanket. Remember that modern furniture usually comes with a deeper, softer, larger cushion, so always choose lasting and durable fabrics, such as textured chenille, cottons and velvets.

Regardless of what your taste is, you can attract interest to a plain-colored sofa or sectional sofa with coordinating pillows, bullion fringes, or edge cording along with other interesting details. Or, how about reviving the look of button-back, attached-back, or beautiful soft-back cushions, or maybe even some plump pillows! The possibilities are almost endless when it comes to redecorating your favorite sectional sofa or other favorite piece of furniture.
