Have your kids recently moved out? Perhaps you are planning on retiring or you just retired recently and you have more time to yourself. Now you have time to focus on redesigning your home as you have always desired. What used to be “functional” for your home, may not be aesthetically pleasing to your new found style and updating is due.

Choosing a New Style

When choosing a new style, try going for designs and colors that make you relax. A popular choice among empty nesters is to use new lively fabrics on highlights and accent pieces. You don’t have to change everything in a room to update its style. A simple change in the throw pillows or the valances or cornices can change the whole atmosphere of a room.

The retro vintage style is reminiscent of the late 70s and 80s design where simple elegance your room is highlighted with splashes of color.

The color splashes used to break the flat colors of the room comes from pieces that display floral designs on a background that is similar to the color scheme of the rest of the room.

The minimalist style pairs well with homes inspired by modern architecture.

For this style, you can use monochromatic fabrics that match your walls. You can use drapes that closely match your upholstery. The usual color scheme is white, light gray, or any muted earth color. You can break the monotony by adding a vibrant accent piece.

Fabrics That Go has thousands of bolts of home fabric! We do everything from fabric supply, professional consultation, measurements, labor, to installation and delivery.

The southwestern style aims to make the interior an extension of the desert environment outside.

For accent, it utilizes mostly traditional patterns to incorporate the local culture. You can simply accent a room with these fabrics as upholstery on chairs, table runners, and placemats, or even bedding.

Popular Fabrics

Some of the most popular fabrics used to update house styles are of Claire’s own designs. Claire is the 91-year-old owner of Fabrics that go and is highly experienced in the fabrics business.

Her designs are so popular because they are a blend of contemporary and postmodern that it appeals to customers looking for bright southwest colors without leaving them with only ethnic contrasts.

If you drop by the store, there is a big chance you could find her there and get her expert advice.

What You Can Do

You actually don’t need to spend a fortune to update your home’s interior. You don’t have to make major changes either to change the feel and atmosphere of your home.

Your change could be as small and simple as reupholstering your kitchen chairs, or even just get matching runners and placemats in the design you want to have can do. Changing the drapes, valances and cornices in a room is often enough to update the feel of that room.
