Interview with Heidi Douglas at Regal Upholstery Las Vegas and Drapery
Introduction
With the holiday season just around the corner, many people are gearing up to welcome guests into their homes for gatherings and celebrations. As we prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas, there's a desire to create a warm and inviting ambiance, and one effective way to achieve this is by finding a reupholstering furniture company in Las Vegas. In this article, co-owner of Regal Upholstery and Drapery LLC, Heidi Douglas explores the benefits of reupholstering, its cost-effectiveness compared to buying new furniture, and the expertise of professionals in transforming your living spaces. Heidi also dives into the importance of selecting the right fabrics, especially for high-traffic areas, and discusses how you can make your outdoor spaces just as cozy and welcoming.
The Furniture You Should Reupholster for the Holidays
As the holiday season approaches, two areas of focus for reupholstering are the dining room and the living room. Refreshing dining room chairs can breathe new life into your dining space, making it a delightful setting for family feasts and gatherings. Additionally, homeowners often reupholster their sofas, sectionals, chairs, ottomans, and even throw pillows in the living room to create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere for guests.
The Cost-Effectiveness of Reupholstering Dining Chairs
One common question Heidi is asked all the time is why it's more affordable to reupholster dining chairs than to buy an entirely new dining room set. The answer lies in the quality of the furniture. If the dining set is in good condition, has an emotional value, and/or made with sturdy materials, reupholstering just the seats can significantly extend the life of the furniture. By changing the fabric on the seats, you can achieve a whole new look without breaking the bank.
The Expert Touch: Hiring Professionals vs. DIY
Heidi, co-owner of Regal Upholstery and Drapery, expresses that while DIY projects can be fun and rewarding, reupholstering furniture requires a certain level of expertise. Enlisting the help of the professionals at Regal Upholstery and Drapery ensures that the job is done correctly and with finesse. DIY enthusiasts often lack the proper tools, like an air gun for staples, and may encounter challenges when it comes to achieving precise corners and neat finishes. The experienced professionals at Regal Upholstery and Drapery LLC bring their years of expertise to deliver exceptional results.
Selecting the Right Fabrics for High-Traffic Areas
Choosing the right fabric is crucial, especially for high-traffic areas like dining room chairs. Durable fabrics with high double rub counts, such as Crypton fabric, are recommended by Heidi for spaces that see frequent use. These fabrics are not only resilient but also are easy to clean with mild soap and water, making them ideal for the holiday season when spills are more likely to occur.
Enhancing Comfort with Added Padding
Old dining room chairs may lack adequate cushioning, leading to discomfort during long holiday dinners. However, the good news is that Regal Upholstery and Drapery’s reupholstering services allows you to add padding and enhance the comfort of your seating. By adding extra padding, you can ensure that your guests have a pleasant and cozy dining experience.
Creating an Inviting Outdoor Space for more Holiday Guests
In climates where outdoor spaces are usable year-round, refreshing outdoor furniture becomes essential. Heidi notes that using Sunbrella fabrics is a popular choice for outdoor reupholstering, as they are resistant to weather elements and maintain their quality for an extended period. Custom-cut cushions are the way to go when seeking replacements, as they ensure a perfect fit for your outdoor furniture, which might not be readily available at local hardware and furniture stores.
