DEFINITIONS OF STRIPED UPHOLSTERY 

By Lauren Wolff 2 years ago

The definition of striped upholstery fabric is a set of coordinated colors applied to the whole surface of a piece of furniture. The stripes are generally vertical, but they can be horizontal as well.

When someone says that a couch or chair has stripes, it means that the fabric is matched with other fabrics in such a way that each color is repeated regularly and evenly across the surface. The effect makes each side look like an individual piece of fabric, and it gives the item a more uniform appearance than if it were made from plain fabric without any patterns or color coordination.

Striped furniture usually consists of two or more shades of the same color, which can range from light to dark or from light to medium. There may also be some variation between shades within the pattern so that one side does not match exactly with another side. For example, if you have a light gray couch with dark gray stripes down each side, you could call that striped upholstery even though there are only two different colors involved.

SOME FACTS ABOUT STRIPED UPHOLSTERY FABRIC

  1. Striped Upholstery fabric is the name of a series of patterns, which are used to decorate all types of furniture. The name comes from the stripes in these patterns, which are very different and diverse
  2. These fabrics are made from different fabrics with different colors and shades, and these colors can be obtained by using a wide range of dyes and pigments
  3. These fabrics have been used for thousands of years in many different countries around the world, but they were not widely used until the beginning of the 20th century.
  4. The main purpose of using striped upholstery fabric is to decorate walls or furniture.

The reason that this kind of fabric can be used in so many different ways is that it has two sides. The plain side can be used to cover items and make them look more attractive by making them look more like they are part of the furniture or something else already there.

MISTAKES ON STRIPED UPHOLSTERY FABRIC

  1. Wrong choice of fabric. If you are going to use striped fabric in your room, it should be in neutral tones like white, black, or grey. Choose fabrics that don’t clash with the furniture or other items in the room.
  2. Wrong color scheme. The color scheme should be complementary and not contrastive. That means that if you have a greenish-blue sofa and a reddish-brown chair, choosing browns for your upholstery would make the room look busy and unbalanced.
  3. Wrong size of stripes. Choosing large stripes creates a busy look while small ones make the room look empty and boring. The best way to avoid this is by using thin strips on all four sides of the piece of fabric (without any overhang)
  4. Wrong placement of stripes on furniture pieces, curtains, etc. Stripe placement is very important as it determines how much attention will be drawn to them, and also what kind of mood they will create in your room
