• [INFOGRAPHIC] Your Guide to DIY Dog Beds

    Are you looking for the perfect bed for your dog? The answer might be in the fabric store, not the pet store. Creating your own dog bed is easier than you may think, and your homemade version is bound to be more personal, cozy, and cost-effective than a store-bought option. The key to making a DIY dog bed is picking the perfect fabric. Search the fabric store for material that is both soft and study, such as winter fleece—also known as double-sided fleece. It’s a good idea to also consider fabrics that are easy to wash, whether you plan to wipe them off with a cloth or wash in your machine. If your dog bed is going to be part of your décor, consider looking in the fabric wholesale store for colors that blend into your home.

    Neutral Colors for Furniture Upholstery

This allows your sofa to seamlessly integrate into your existing aesthetic, and even if you update the décor of your living room, the sofa will still fit in. Some lovely neutral colors that look great on any style of sofa and with any home décor include pale gray, brown, tan, cream, and muted shades of blue and green.

Living rooms or dens that are decorated in dark or neutral color palettes may benefit from a splash of color. The sofa is the centerpiece of most living rooms, and bright upholstery fabric can make it stand out even more. Choose a color you truly enjoy, however, so that you won’t quickly get tired of looking at it. The best bright colors for sofa upholstery are yellow, red, green, blue, and pink.

    Upholstery Fabric in Fun Prints

Because sofas are so large, it’s best to choose furniture upholstery fabric that is in a large, bold print rather than a small, busy one. Because printed fabric typically features multiple colors, upholstery fabric that is printed can give you great inspiration to design a new color palette for your living room.
