Reupholstering Simple Dining Chairs

August 19, 2008

After many years of being sat upon, the chairs around the table often become ugly as their padding wears out. Nothing is quite as embarrassing to a home owner as realizing that his or her guests must sit on chairs with the stuffing coming out. This problem can be remedied, however, with a little time and some simple, inexpensive items from the local fabric and hardware stores.

Turn your chairs over, and you might notice that the fabric covering the chair is stapled in place. By removing the fabric, you’ve made the first step. This can be done by removing the staples, or by cutting the fabric around the staples.

Next, measure the dimensions of the chairs for the fabric to use as covering. When buying the fabric, choose a durable fabric that is relatively easy to clean. Also, make sure to leave at least an extra foot for each side of the chair. This ensures that there is enough fabric to fit over the padding and enough to be anchored to the bottom of the chair. It’s better to have too much than not enough. You can always trim the excess. Read more…

Decorating your bedroom - tips on choosing the right furniture

August 18, 2008

As well as a place of rest, the bedroom provides an escape from stress and worry - a haven from the everyday comings and goings of family life. It’s the most private room in the house and, unlike other areas of a family home, belongs exclusively to the individual or couple who sleep there. With the right furnishings and planning, it can become an idyllic refuge that offers a great deal of comfort and relaxation.

The choice of bed is of course a main consideration when decorating a bedroom. The average person spends over a third of their life in a bed so it’s important that the right kind is chosen. Symptoms such as back-pain and lack of sleep are often attributed to a poor bed and merely buying a new mattress will not necessarily alleviate these problems. The best solution is to purchase a divan and mattress together, considering that both are designed to work with each other. The big furniture retailers sell them individually or in sets. Read more…

It is a commonly known fact that furniture ages, as well as anything else does! The signs of breaking down are not hard to notice, as, after a number of years, even the paint of the best furniture begins to chip and to crack. The wood becomes scratched or dented, surfaces become dirty. There is nothing we can do to prevent this from happening.

Show Your Modernism Through Your Modern Furniture

August 11, 2008

The term modernism was first used in the late 19th century when the society was eager to alter, reshape or improve their environment assisted by the rapid growth of technology and advancement of science. Hence any furniture that is built during that period and conformed to the trend of modernism is referred to as modern furniture.

Many eyebrows were raised when the first lot of modern furniture was introduced to the public in Germany in the early 1900s as they were made of non-traditional materials such as moulded plywood, metal and plastic. The idea of using such revolutionary materials combining with innovative and artistic designs later became the philosophy of Deutscher Werkbund, a governmental agency created to promote German art and design around the world

Additionally, modern furniture is also tremendously influenced by Asian and African arts, particularly Japanese, where solid colors and contrasting patterns are used on furniture. This Zen-inspired simplicity is perceived as beauty and classy. Some even believe the Art Noveau movement sprung out of this influence and artists such as Charles Rennie Macintosh, Eileen Grey and Frank Lloyd are known for their modern works which are often infused with Asian motives.

Navigating the Maze of Industrial Furniture

August 10, 2008

When you’re new to the responsibility of buying industrial furniture - whether you need a portable stage, drafting table, modular desks, school furniture, or office partitions - it’s difficult to quickly get a grasp of the range of products available, and even harder to determine which products will work best for your needs. Here’s a quick rundown to get you started:

Portable Stage: Portable stages come in a variety of heights, typically 8 inches, 16 inches, 24 inches, 32 inches, and 40 inches. They are also available in different widths and lengths, the most common being 3 feet by 6 feet, 3 feet by 8 feet, 4 feet by 6 feet, and 4 feet by 8 feet. The top of a portable stage is called a deck, and can be made from hardboard or polypropylene. Polypropylene decks can be carpeted to enhance their appearance.

Portable stages give you a wide variety of options. You can, for example, buy several platforms of the same height to form a flat performance stage. Or, you can buy several different heights to construct band or choral risers. When buying a portable stage, look for those that assemble quickly and that take up little room when folded and stacked. Finally, keep in mind that for safety reasons, guardrails should be used on the sides and rear of stages.
