Sick of the way your single sofa chair looks? From time to time, we need to change a little bit in our interior decor theme to keep it fresh and lively. While buying new wooden dining chairs and a matching wooden sofa chair will be one way to do it, a cheaper option can be to update the look of your existing single sofa chair and iron chair and to recreate new interior decor themes on a small budget.
Here are 3 simple ideas that you can use:
1# Change the upholstery: This is the simplest way to change the way your single sofa chair looks. Pick a new upholstery fabric with care – you need to first analyze the scale of your single sofa chair and then choose accordingly. A bigger chair will fare well with a bold pattern – it could be a traditional pattern with a floral theme in bright colours or can even be a geometric pattern for a more contemporary loo. However, if the design is sleek, look for a simpler pattern with close set repeat rather than a broad pattern where the repeat pattern is too far set and doesn’t do justice to the design. Remember, if the repeat pattern is too close, neutral colours are best ...
... like blacks, whites, beige, browns and blues. However, with a broad pattern, you can bring in more accent colours like gold, silver, red and pink in to play as well. A good choice for a small living cum dining room is the change upholstery for both the single sofa chair as well as the wooden dining chairs for a homogenous look.
2# Try a new wood finish: If you have a wooden sofa chair, changing the wood polish can make a real difference. For example, if you have a light colour wood finish and also have used many light or neutral colours in the decor, it doesn’t make a real visual impact. Instead, get a darker wood polish and create an interesting contrast in colour that will add life to your decor theme. Similarly, make sure that you also change the wooden finish for old wooden dining chairs to create a sense of balance and symmetry, even if the design is completely different. The same wooden tones will tie all pieces of furniture together irrespective of the individual design. In case you have a few iron chair scattered around for extra seating space, give them a fresh coat of black paint to make them look new. One thumb rule to remember – Dark wood finish is perfectly offset by lighter or neutral colour upholstery while light wood finishes look beautiful with colourful upholstery fabrics, though the design and scale of your furniture can also play an important role here.
3# Throw on a few cushions: The cheapest way to update the look of any wooden sofa chair is to add a few cushions. For a casual look, pick different sizes and colours for a playful setting. However, in a sophisticated decor theme, choose different shapes (maybe a long rectangular cushion with a square one) and choose the same fabric for cushion cover.
