I think that it is no doubt that Pottery barn furniture is some of the best on the market. I don't think that there would be much of a discussion either as to the look and style of the furniture produced. Is the style relevant to current trends and such? But what do you do when you have pottery barn furniture for years and the style is starting to look dated. Well, I will outline just a few ideas from using slipcovers, reupholstering or just using accent furniture to bring out the old character.
First lets touch upon slipcovers:
Slipcovers have been around for years and are still being used in great extents even in today's time. Have you ever had a couch that was so ugly that you just wanted to throw it on the curve? But every time there is company everyone always compliments on how comfortable the couch is. In cases like this slipcovers can become very handy. Here is a tip on how to use a slipcover? Slipcovers come in a large selection of colors and sizes. First, establish the color scheme that is to be maintained in the room. Then, go get a slipcover that matches this color scheme. Be careful to purchase a slipcover that will fit the furniture in question. Once you have purchased the cover try it on the furniture. Make sure the cover is snug and does not have a lot of drooping corners. Accent the cover with throw pillows and walla, you have a coach that is once again a part of the entire home décor scheme.
Another option is to reupholster furniture. Many people don't take this option but if the furniture in question works and is still feasible to use and has no damage why not. Upholstering allows for furniture to be reusable but also it give a owner a option as to what the next fabric and color will be. This course of action could be expensive so be sure to shop around and also check out the work of the person doing the upholstering. If this is not done right mistakes will be highly visable and will have to be lived with for years to come.
Finally, for a final idea, use other pottery barn furniture to accent old furniture. Pick up decorative lamps and side tables. The lamps need to have colors that will bring out the special colors in your furniture. How about getting pictures and throw rugs. This can also make a ugly old coach, table bed look even better.
I hope that some of these ideas will help you out with your old pottery barn furniture.
