It is very costly and burdensome to change the caravan upholstery from time to time. That is why choosing the right upholstery for your caravan is very important to have an assurance that changing the same will not be done after a short period of time. The main task that you have to perform is to choose a right upholstery that is durable and at the same time according to your taste. Picking the right colour combinations for your upholstery is also essential because these colours mainly have an impact on the overall appearance of your caravan interior. So, here are the useful tips when changing your old upholstery.
- In choosing the material for your next upholstery, always keep in mind that is must be durable and can repel liquids and other sources of stains. Also, it has to be cost-friendly. Choose material that is of high quality but affordable.
The most popular materials for upholstery are wool, leather and vinyl.
Wool is an excellent material for your upholstery because of its silky feel. Its texture is such that it is resistant to abrasions, blotches, and liquids for your upholstery because of its smooth texture and its high resistance to scratches, many types of liquids, and other stains.
It is advisable to use leather if pets are among your regular companions when travelling because aside from the fact that it is very easy to clean, it can withstand scratches. On the other hand, vinyl is used by a lot of people because of its satiny feel. Caution, however, must be taken because it can easily be destroyed by fire during accidents.
- As mentioned earlier, pick the right colours for your upholstery. Did you know that studies show that one’s personality is reflected by his choice of colours? They say yellow emits positive aura; red releases negative energy; blue promotes sanctity and comfort; and green, which is a popular choice, is said to give a soothing feel. Black, grey and white are not recommended because they bring out sadness.
- It is also a good idea to make use of metal pieces or buttons to spice up the design of the upholstery. But you have to make sure that there are no pointed edges on the upholstery to prevent any possible accidents or injury inside the caravan and any damage to the finish of the rv upholstery. In the case of buttons, pin them tightly to the upholstery to prevent them from getting lost or being dislocated in no time.
- Frames of the upholstery should also be fixed tightly on the floor of the caravan for durable upholstery.
- The seat/sofa must be very comfortable to sit on that is why foams or pads must fit into the sofa/seat fame very well. If they do not fit well, they will easily lose their shape. This will result in a very unpleasant trip.
