Mix and match living room furniture by choosing colors of furniture and accessories that complement each other and go well with the aesthetic of your living room. If you already have some matching furniture in your living room you can add more by mixing it with other mismatched furniture. Create a cohesive space by layering styles and mismatched accessories.

Before choosing living room furniture consider the size of the space, members of your family, and amount of wear that your furniture will take. Start by measuring your space, and checking doorways to make sure your furniture can be moved through them. Furnish your living room by getting the basics, and implementing furniture pieces that are sturdy, and have high-quality stain-resistant fabrics.

When arranging furniture in a living room and dining room combo make sure to maximize the space by incorporating dual purpose furniture. Arrange the furniture by defining the functional spaces, use the room’s architectural design to your advantage, and play with the versatility of each piece of furniture.

Choosing a style for your dining room is a personal choice, and dependent on your preferences. Gather inspiration images from dining rooms that you like and choose a focal object to style everything around on. Then choose the lighting elements, décor accents, as well as paint color.

Clean fabric chairs by steaming or using the vacuum’s upholstery attachment and vacuuming the chair carefully. Be sure to also check the tags of your chair to figure out the most adequate way of cleaning it. Any stains should be removed with a cleaning solution for the type of fabric on your chair.

Start reupholstering a chair by removing the old fabric carefully without ripping any pieces as they will serve as patterns. Then replace any worn batting and make the new pattern pieces by tracing the original pieces. Attach the new fabric to the chair with a staple gun, then make and attach the welting. Finish off by covering back and underside of the chair.
