Updating Your Space with Fabric


In a perfect world, we'd all be able to update our living spaces on our every whim. Perhaps you decorated your entire apartment in a modern black and white theme, but have suddenly fallen in love with muted earth tones. How nice it would be to have the ability to change our surroundings based on our mood or the seasons. Yet, with the exception of the super-rich, most people live within the constraints of their respective lifestyles. Budgets, schedules, and factors like children or space restrictions come into play when choosing how to decorate, or deciding when to change things up. Unfortunately, the credit card bill will eventually get to your  mailbox, and you'll realize that buying that brand new sofa or wool area rug probably wasn't the greatest idea one has ever had.
 

There are definitely ways to change up your space without spending a fortune, though. One option that often gets overlooked is reupholstery. If there is nothing wrong with your current sofa or armchair, why not consider a new fabric for it? There are literally hundreds of options, and the presence of a new fabric in your living room might just change your entire perspective on your space.

Shown are some examples of creative upholstery choices. There is no need to stick to one fabric - the option is there to mix it up, and essentially create a whole new piece of furniture by way of your fabric selection.
Palazzo Interiors is more than equipped to talk you through the whole process, from fabric selection, to execution, to recouping your redesigned piece of furniture!
