The Ivy Chair, almost like bringing home a shower of your raked treasure from the garden and trying out a DIY project. Whatever! From contemporary interiors point of view, the Ivy Chair in white (and maybe in black for Takashi) will be perfect! (Designer: Satoshi Itasaka)

Woven Rattan Leaf Chair at Wisteria

Rattan can seem kind of predictable when summer rolls around, but predictable is not what came to mind when we spotted this colorful, leaf-shaped version from Wisteria. Want it on the other hand, did. (via: apartmenttherapy.com)

The sexy and sensuous Leaf chair is inspired by nature’s curves. Graceful and slim, the upholstered top sits on a steel base as if floating in its own space. (designer: Kenneth Cobonpue)

Lounge Chair

This design takes its aesthetics and structure inspiration from leafs. The chair’s body is comprised from two major parts; aluminum cast frame and a co-injected silicone + plastic seat for support and comfort. The structure and seating position were aimed for leisure and relaxation. (via: nirsiegel.com)

When you want to pack up and move to a store? In this case, yours truly wants to go live at Alice Lane Home for a spell. I think owner and designer Jessica Bennett and I must be operating on similar wavelengths because I adore almost everything I’ve seen of this Utah shop and design hotspot. (via: manolohome.com)

Slipcovers are an easy and affordable solution to update furniture. Over time, wear and tear start to show on the fabrics of most chairs and sofas even when the piece is still in good shape overall. Custom slipcovers spruce up any chair, sofa or love seat, but it’s important to pick the right fabric for the look you’re going for and to take into consideration how much use each piece of furniture gets.

Solid Vs. Patterned – How To Choose

Walking in a furniture store, you might be attracted to the bold stripes of a sofa or the all-white linen sofa. But an all-white linen sofa is no match for a toddler with grimy hands. And patterned fabric from florals to plaids, can be in style one season and out the next. Solids are a safe bet when choosing fabric for a new furniture cover.

Going with solids doesn’t mean boring. Choosing bold patterned accessories and fun accent pieces including pillows and throws allows you to accessorize with current trends, but can be easily changed when it’s time for a new style.

Some pieces of furniture need bold patterns, especially when going for a specific overall look or theme. Florals, geometric patterns, plaid, striped or themed fabrics are available in slipcovers, but rather than overwhelming an entire living room set with a pattern, choosing one bold pattern for an accent piece is a good idea. Chair slipcovers in patterns nicely coordinate with a solid sofa without overdoing patterns.

Dining room chair slipcovers allow you to either get a new look completely, or replace dingy stained fabric. A great way to mix solid and patterned fabric is to choose chair slipcovers in solid fabric for the four armless versions and then choose patterned chair covers for the chairs at the head of the table.
