don’t we all have one of these projects in the works? thought we’d let you in on this handy little cheat sheet (thanks honey & fitz). keep in mind, these are just round-about figures. be sure to consult your upholsterer for exact measurements. furniture shapes and intricacies can vary quite a bit from piece to piece. most importantly, when choosing those large playful designs, the repeat measurements of a fabric’s pattern will determine your yardage needs.
{bonus tip} when we upholster our furniture in solid fabrics, we usually choose a contrasting flange or cording (the “piping” that runs the edges and seams of furniture) to show it some extra love. when a piece has unique lines, we want to show them off. running a contrast color along those edges can really make all the difference.
The top image would make a great poster in its own right. There’s something vaguely comic about the furniture pieces.
