As previously mentioned, I have changed my decorating palette colors from the jewel-toned dark green, red & gold to soothing-spa colors of aqua blue and lighter greens. However, I was really stuck in our living room since our sofas are those exact colors I don't want anymore:
Enter endless hours of online shopping for slip covers! The problem is all slip covers I could find were covering the cushions with one piece of fabric. I really wanted each cushion covered. It also had to go with the rocking chair and ottoman since I didn't want to change that out too.
the blue pillows go with this chair but not the sofa pattern
Then I read about Sarah's sofa shopping at Thrifty Decor Chick and I checked out the store she used, as well as a slip cover company that was recommended by one of her readers. I spent hours looking and looking at fabric options, but I could not find a fabric that excited me.And then, THEN I found a few fabrics that were good and decided I should see them in person at Arhaus. After a few trips I have found - FOUND! - the right fabric! It goes with the rocking chair, will hide dirt from kids and dog and I think the colors are timeless.
This will also blend with grey if I decide to jump on the current
decor bandwagon.I also found this more contemporary fabric for
box valances and pillows!
YAHOO!!
I found a dirt-hiding, rip-proof, timelessly subtle, non-uniform pattern that
will work with my blue & green palette!!
What do you think? What are your must-haves in deciding fabrics?
