If it’s time to purchase new furniture, you have a lot of factors to consider, including the price, size, color, and function. You also have to decide between patterned and plain fabric. They both come with their own set of pros and cons. Here are some tips for choosing between plain and patterned upholstery. 

Plain Upholstery

The two main advantages of plain upholstery are that it’s versatile and never goes out of style. Whether you have a solid gray or blue couch, it will look nice with a variety of different pillows, curtains, and other items in your living room.

As trends change, you can keep your furniture and purchase new home decor items. You won’t have to worry about buying new furniture every time you want to redecorate.

Patterned Upholstery

Patterned textures tend to look best on smaller sofas. Patterned upholstery also works best with large families because they conceal spills better. If one of your kids accidentally spills juice on the couch, it won’t be as noticeable. 

If you want patterned furniture, select a flexible pattern. For instance, a striped pattern typically works well with many living room designs. 

Additionally, reconsider using a dominant print on your largest piece of furniture, as it can reduce your decorating options. You can easily get bored of a room if you can’t ever redecorate it. It’s better to put prints on smaller furniture items, like chairs.
