Churches: a place of sanctuary, of comfort, of faith. For some of us, it is our second home, an area where we spend most of our weekends enjoying the company of our religious family and praying together. Because it is holy and sacred, you only want the best for your church interiors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you plan to change the current covers of the pews, booths, and altar, you will be taking on a laborious job. But don’t fret; if you take the correct measurements<\/a>, you’ll have stylish new church decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting Your Church Upholstery Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Know what you want to upholster<\/strong>. It is good to start with one aspect at a time: choose to change up pews, benches, or booths. Once you have decided which furniture needs new upholstering the most, then it’s time to take out the tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Be ready with the equipment<\/strong>. You’ll initially need measuring tape, a pencil and notepad, and a calculator. Determine measurements and make room for errors; having a bit of extra fabric is always better than purchasing less.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Know what to measure<\/strong>. You will only need to measure the fabric on the seat by yards for church pews with seat cushions. A separate measurement is required if the back is also upholstered and padded. Add the measurements depending on how many pews you have.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Church kneelers may require less fabric than church pews, but measuring them requires caution nonetheless. This furniture can easily wear out due to use. Take note of the hardware included with the upholstery. To assemble the new cover, you might need new padding, a staple gun, and a sewing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Church booths and special seats may also need reupholstery in time. These couches may require more effort in measurements, especially if they are entirely upholstered. Take note of the fabric sizes on the handle, the seat, the back, and other obvious parts. If you have quite a number of church booths, you need to add up the measurements and leave a few more inches for the seams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Choosing The Right Church Upholstery Fabrics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Now that you’ve got the measurements, it’s time to choose the fabrics you’ll be covering your furniture with. To refresh your church’s interior, you may choose to use the same color theme or choose another variety. There are many types of church upholstery fabrics to choose from, and here at Kovi<\/strong>, we offer the widest range of materials for your various needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We previously talked about the factors on choosing church upholstery<\/a> fabrics. Among our suggestions are minimal, solid-colored materials like the ones in our Solid Toned<\/a> series. Metallic<\/a> fabrics provide a brazen, classic finish that glimmers when lighted upon. Small patterns, like the ones in our Heirloom<\/a> category, offer a timeless renaissance feel for traditional interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Regarding strength, faux leather and vinyl<\/a> are the best options. Because church pews, kneelers, and booths are regularly used, you’d want the material to be durable and long-lasting. Faux leather and vinyl offer a beautiful charm, perfect for those who value affordability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
