Ideal interiors : Getting new seats by changing the seat covers

A friend told me recently that she needs to buy new seats and she needed my advice on the same. So I recommended that we go together to her house and check out the condition of the seats. On reaching there truly the seats had worn out because of children jumping on them. On a closer look I realised that the seats were not really old, but just the outer fabric is what needs to be changed so I advised her to buy a new fabric to be changed on her seats and the seats will be as good as new.

A friend told me recently that she needs to buy new seats and she needed my advice on the same. So I recommended that we go together to her house and check out the condition of the seats. On reaching there truly the seats had worn out because of children jumping on them.

Replacing seat covers can change the style and décor of your living room. With a little money and some help, you can create a whole new look and add new life to your seats. You can use fabric that matches your window treatments or design a custom look, with each seat a different colour or coordinating pattern. Replacing your seat covers will add colour to your life and spice to your living room experience.


Choosing the right type of fabric for your seats can dramatically change the look of a room. Fabrics for seats come in a wide range of colours, style and textures. Changing the fabric on your seats can create a new ambiance than to buy new seats.


Sometimes it can be tricky for a person to choose colours and designs for their new seats, but taking a look at magazines or other people's home to determine what type of atmosphere or style you want in the space can really help. For instance, if you want a rustic, country style, choose plaids, textured fabrics and warm colours. If you want an elegant or Victorian style, choose vintage or lacy-looking fabrics with beads.


When buying the fabrics, buy complementary or contrasting colours to create a fusion on the seats for that desired look. For example, if you want your seats to be brown and want your living room area to look warm and inviting, select gold or orange for the cushions as a contrast to the brown. If you are looking for a monochromatic colour scheme in colours that complement the brown, choose dark taupe, beige or tan shades.


Also for a complete seat make over, invest in throw pillows for your seats. Throw pillows can make furniture more comfortable, and they add colour, texture and pizazz. Toss a cosy, warm throw over one end of the sofa or love seat. This is a soft accessory that adds colour and texture and warmth.

I have one of those San Francisco apartments which have beautiful bay windows in every single room. I frequently rearrange the furniture in my house to try to change up the space near the windows. Ideally, I'd like to find a set up that let
s me place seating options in every single window. Since I rent my place, I can't install custom-built window seats in these areas. If I could, I would.

Window seats provide the perfect space for relaxing in your home. They put you close to the nature of your yard while keeping you safe from the elements. They offer a space to daydream about far off adventures from inside the cosy confines of your own domain.

Window seats are not merely a place to while away the hours, though. They can also provide a very important function. They create extra seating. This is particularly perfect in small homes where space for additional chairs may be limited. I love window seats for their dreamy qualities but I appreciate them for their functional side as well.
