The word “trim” implies something less than essential, but it’s a mistake to treat it like an afterthought when it comes to your decor.

There is yet to be another type of chair that can claim to be as equally comfortable. And it is easy to update with the latest look or fabric. Here is your how-to guide
Like everything you own, including yourself, maintenance and care is the key to longevity. A couch is a major investment, so by regularly maintaining it you can keep it in it’s original ’store-bought’ state.
If you’re tired of your old pattern, or the fabric on your chair is worn out or stained, but you’re not ready to buy a new chair or fully reupholster, slipcovers offer an easy, inexpensive option to update your furniture with little effort.
Measurements are simple with chairs that only have fabric on the seat, but some kitchen and dining room chairs have fabric everywhere except the legs, and that can be more difficult. It’s important to make sure you have enough fabric to fully cover your chairs. With the right measurements, recovering the chairs in your kitchen or dining room can be a simple project.
Reupholstering a sectional sofa is an ambitious project. But buying a new sectional sofa is often an expensive affair — and an old sectional with good bones is worthy of a facelift. Reupholstering rather than replacing a sectional can make it possible for you to keep a sofa that works well with your space, while updating and customizing the fabric to fit your decor.
Wingback chairs are a favorite reupholstery project piece for many do it yourselfers. They have a classic, yet versatile design, and when they are reupholstered, they can take on a completely different look that can’t be found in a store.
