Accessible Inspiration

Create a mood board to get the design you want. Pictures of furniture, colors, accessories, pattern, swatches and thoughts are great to have as a quick reference when designing.

Smart Upholstery

If you're going to spend a lot of money reupholstering something, use a neutral fabric so it'll stand the test of time. Then, add in trends, pattern and texture with pillows.
