The seating in your home is one of the most important parts of your furniture. It’s where you sit after a long day, when you’re relaxing at the weekend, when you’re eating, and more. It needs to be comfortable but it can also be stylish. If you feel like your seating needs a refresh, there are lots of ways you could update your home by changing your seating. Whether you get a new sofa or buy new dining chairs, you could improve your enjoyment of your home by updating the seating. Keep reading for some ideas of how to make your seating better than ever.
Refresh Existing Chairs
Before you rush to buy some new seating, consider how updating seating that you already have can make a difference. There are several things that you could do to bring new life to the chairs and other seating that you already have. The simplest option is to add new covers or get accessories such as throws or cushions. If you want to do something a little more complicated, reupholstering your seating is another way for you to refresh the seating that you already have. You could save a lot of money by taking this route.

Mix and Match Your Seating
People will often choose matching seating when they’re shopping for their homes. It’s easy to purchase a set, whether you want seating for your living room or dining chairs. But your seating doesn’t have to be matched to look great. Another alternative is to mix and match your seating so it has a slightly more eclectic look. You don’t have to make everything look completely different. You can choose seating that’s similar but not exactly the same so that it still looks good together. Your sofa could be a different style to your armchairs or you could choose dining chairs that don’t match exactly.
Pick an Interior Style
If you’re not sure where to start with updating your seating, try picking an interior style. Choose a style that you like and look for seating that matches it. You could transform your living room by investing in some mid century modern sofas or give your dining room a new look with some industrial dining chairs. You don’t necessarily have to furnish and decorate the whole room in the same style. Just use a style that you like for your seating and mix it with other elements.
Use Different Colours and Textures
Another way to refresh your seating is to try out different colours and textures. If you want to try something new, mix up your choice of colours and textures to create a more eye-catching arrangement of your furniture. You might have a leather sofa but fabric armchairs or wooden dining chairs with fabric seats. Choose a neutral sofa but then mix it with brightly coloured accent chairs to make your seating more exciting.
