Charming florals or cool abstract patterns? White-on-white or a splash of brilliant colour? Just like clothes make the man, fabric makes the furniture. House Beautiful understands how furniture can be completely transformed using different fabrics and so the editors are letting sofas, chairs, settees, ottomans, lampshades and more put on a "fashion show." The magazine's experts explain exactly how the choice of colour and pattern affects the furniture's appearance, for example, stripes on a sofa highlight the couch's shape and give it a contemporary flair, while a floral pattern de-emphasizes the form and adds traditional country charm. A range of styles are included, as are tips on fabric, technical terms, decorating pitfalls and upholstering advice, making this the ideal reference.
