Revitalizing Your Home for the Holidays

November marks the start of the year-end holiday season. In the next month or so, out-of-town guests will be arriving. First comes Thanksgiving, the next Black Friday - and the next thing you know, it’s already December! Homes will be lively once friends and relatives arrive, and you only have about two more weeks to prepare before the first big holiday. How do you revitalize your home for the holiday season? Here are a few tips.

Shop Home Fabric

Create a Holiday Haven

So what comes after cleaning? Now that you’ve stripped your rooms of clutter, old sheets, and drapery, it’s time to start turning your home into a holiday haven! Warm colors will make any space inviting, especially as the temperatures start to drop. Use passionate reds, autumn bronze, and warm greens akin to an evergreen bough. Adding festive throw pillows, table napkins, and runners for an easy seasonal look. Frame bright tapestry fabric as an art piece. To really live up to the holiday spirit, surprise dad with new arm covers and head cap for his favorite chair!

Use Functional Decoration

Using functional decor means you don’t have to clutter your rooms with trinkets to add life to negative spaces. For example, if your living room is looking a little dull, you can always add accent blankets or rugs on top of your couch. Have an old Grandfather Chair? Bring a new look to that treasured family heirloom. Adding in some colorful throws on seating furniture also works. Not enough seating furniture for guests? Ottomans can be three things at once - a piece of decor, a seat, and extra storage. And of course, don’t forget drapery. It’s one of the biggest pieces of functional decor in a room, so make sure to pick the perfect fabric for it!

Improve Your Yard

You won’t always be entertaining guests inside your home. Fall is the best time to enjoy some grilled food, or maybe some marshmallows by the fire. For this, you’ll want to make sure you have enough outdoor seating. When adding seats in your patio or backyard, using outdoor, upholstery-grade fabric is best. They’re easy to clean and durable, so you don’t have to worry about it being used too often. Make sure your yard is free of debris, too. Take the time to rake those leaves and twigs, so they don’t get blown around by the wind when you have guests over.

Tips to Get Outdoor Living Spaces Ready for Fall

After the long summer, the orange leaves slowly plummeting to the ground is a welcome sight. Finally, the temperatures are dropping, even in sunny Arizona! What better way to welcome Fall than to prepare your outdoor living space, so you can enjoy the scenery with your family and friends? Here are ways you can refresh your backyard for the fall season.

Deep Cleaning Your Patio

It’s important to give your patio a little scrubbing down once in a while. Fall season will bring in a lot of debris and insects into your deck or patio, so it’s important to sweep them off as often as you can. Use a pressure washer to deep clean wood or tile flooring with difficult stains. But remember, while pressure washers be fine for some surfaces, it can also peel off grout between concrete and turn wood softer. So remember to keep a six-inch distance from the wood and don’t set the power too high.

Harmony Bejeweled $29.95

Slipcovers, Cushions, and Pillows

You can never go wrong with adding more comfort in your lounge area. Outdoor cushions and pillows don’t only provide comfort, they also uplift the space if you use colorful fabric. Slipcovers are also a great way of protecting your furniture while keeping it comfy. One trick is to make sure you use contrasting colors. For example, if you’re using blue slipcovers, orange and yellow pillows can provide a striking contrast. Making use of patterns against plains is also a must!

Y Zephyr $43.95

Southwestern Accent Pillows to add a personality to suede couch. Fabric supplied, and custom pillows made by Fabrics That Go.

Get Your Lawn Ready for Fall

Raking leaves and keeping your lawn clean may sound tedious, but it’s necessary. By raking leaves, you’re allowing your lawn to breathe. Piles of moist leaves may invite pests and insects, and this is why you should never miss cleaning your lawn. You can also turn fallen leaves into mulch to fertilize bare soil. Your pool also needs regular cleaning if it’s not covered. Pruning shrubs and branches can also help prevent more debris from falling into your pool or deck.

Many lazy afternoons will be spent in your backyard during fall. It’s important to keep it cozy for frequent use. Want a custom furniture project made for your backyard?

Top Reasons to Upholster an Old Piece of Furniture

Whether you’re moving into a new home or redecorating, you can’t help but notice old furniture that has been lying around for years. Maybe you bought it years ago, or it was inherited from a family member. Be it an old lounge chair, faded couch, or ripped cushions, the urge to replace old furniture is strong because it looks out of place, or outdated. But is it really practical to get rid of them and buy a new one? If you want to refresh your furniture, reupholstering might just do the trick.

New Look, Old Memories

An ottoman you bought with your first salary, the chair cushions you bought for your first house, or your father’s favorite chair - things with sentimental value are hard to throw away. That doesn’t mean you’d have to keep them in your garage so new ones can take their place. With proper care, they can serve as family heirlooms. Classic pieces of furniture can easily be modified to fit your current style. It just needs the right kind of fabric and skilled reupholsterers.

Shop Fabric

Better Fabric for Longevity and Style

When choosing the right upholstery-grade fabric, you have to take some things into consideration: Do you want the space to appear bright, simple, or intricate? Who’s going to use the space? How often is it going to be used? For example, Mildew-proof fabrics like Sunbrella is great for both indoor and outdoor use. Aside from being easy to clean, it can withstand high traffic, so you don’t have to worry about it being used to often. Most upholstery-grade fabrics comes in different textures, colors, and patterns that can match any space in your home. The possibilities of customization are endless.

Environmentally Friendly

We need to bring back the good old habit of fixing things when they’re broken. The idea of getting new furniture may sound great, but nothing beats the feeling of giving old things new value. Re-upholstering lengthens the life of your furniture. By simply modifying your old couch or chair, you’re creating far less waste, and using less energy.

High Quality, High Value

Don’t throw out Granny’s Victorian-style chairs just yet. Oftentimes, older furniture is made with high quality materials & unique designs that is held at high value these days. Breath new life into it by choosing durable, elegant, upholstery-grade fabrics- making them looks as good as new. If you can’t find a place in your home for old furniture, why not reupholster and refurbish them? If it doesn't fit your home's style, you can easily put it up on ebay or Craigslist - that way you’ll have funds to buy a new, modern couch or chair for your living room. Fabrics That Go makes custom-made furniture to fit your style >>
