It won\u2019t overwhelm, but it will still stand out. This is a good way to use an expensive fabric you love without having to break the bank buying several yards to cover an entire couch.\n</p><h3>Think of Your Sofa as Your Favourite Shirt\n</h3><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-24150 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/12%5C/transform-home-2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"459\"' height='\"338\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/transform-home-2.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>In other words, cover it in a colour you love to wear instead of in a neutral-what most people choose-that disappears in the room. If you choose your favorite colour, one that looks best on you, the sofa will take center stage. And you\u2019ll never get tired of sitting on it.\n</p><h3>For Large Chairs, Choose a Small Print\n</h3><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-24151 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/12%5C/transform-home-3.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"460\"' height='\"339\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/transform-home-3.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>If you\u2019re covering a large chair, like a wingback, choose a small-print fabric. The chairs are dramatic enough. A small print helps balance that drama and looks more sophisticated.\n</p><h3>Got Kids? Choose a Forgiving Sofa Fabric\n</h3><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-24153 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/12%5C/transform-home-5.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"459\"' height='\"338\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/transform-home-5.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Patterns help hide spills and crumbs. You probably know that by now. But did you also know that a fabric with a texture-a cotton velvet or some other textile with a pile-will do wonders for masking the mess? Try it. You\u2019ll worry less and enjoy more.\n</p><h3>Dress Up Boring Window Shades\n</h3><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-24154 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/12%5C/transform-home-6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"459\"' height='\"338\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/transform-home-6.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Those vanilla-coloured roller shades are about as blah as it gets. But they\u2019re inexpensive, and they do the job, right? For a few dollars more, you can transform the shades-and an entire room in the process-by gluing a bold wallpaper print to the insides of the shades.\n</p><p>This works best with shades 27 inches (68 cm) wide or less-the width of a standard wallpaper roll. Measure the length of the fully extended shade, and cut the wallpaper to fit, leaving an extra two inches. Roll out the shade and cover it with wallpaper adhesive using a sponge roller. Lay the wallpaper on the glue, letting the extra two inches wrap under the bottom of the shade. Use a rolling pin to smooth out air bubbles. Trim away any excess wallpaper. Because the wallpaper makes the shade a little harder to roll up and down, this trick works best on windows where you don\u2019t mind leaving the shade partially down.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Fabric is an excellent way to liven up a boring space, but before you re-cover your couch in chintz, have a look at some simple tips and projects.
