Plainly put, the Curb Couch concept is both hard and soft. On one side of the couch is a wood oblong while the other end is filled with cotton and wool for some soft spots. The whole sofa is covered in cotton and Lycra and the only thing that one would want from it is perhaps a headrest.

At first glance, the couch doesn’t seem to be as appealing and inviting as most couches we have seen. However, it does serve its purpose by providing a hard and soft spot for people who want to relax and of course be different.

At times, we find ourselves content with the standard furniture but may eventually look dull. While it does serve its purpose initially, as creative artists for home designs in our own right, we have an idea or two we are sure to have in our heads to which we cannot readily do mainly because we find it something not needed today.

But we can make a difference if we try. All it needs is one task and the rest will follow. For sure one of them is turning to possible reupholstering or having slipcovers that can brighten up an old couch or chair.

Consider this approach. It may be the secret to spicing up certain areas of your home or not the home as a whole:

Consider the suitability of fabric weight (thickness), weave and texture for the intended use.

A fabric with texture, versus a smooth finish, is less likely to show dirt, wear, and spots.

Durability: including an understanding of the natural life of some fibers is key.

Ease of cleaning and overall resistance to wear, dirt, and spotting is another important factor.

Dressing Up your Dull Couch Back to Life

So you have the proper setup for your own home theatre. You have the large screen LCD or Plasma Television and the great sounding home theatre speakers. What is there left? Well for one, have you ever considered where you would be sitting?

Sure there will always be the couch or the standard bed, depending on where you setup your home theatre. But what If you had a suitable recliner made from green descent like the typical Lazy-boy you always envied?

It was inevitable that we’d soon see green home theater furniture. Start with new line of totally green Royal home theater recliners from CDGi (Cinema Design Group International). According to Carey Schafer, vice president of engineering, the wood used in the framing is Baltic birch, there are no formaldehydes, the foam in the cushions contains no CFCs, and leather contains no chromium, which is often used in tanneries.

A home may not always be complete without the traditional sofa and depending on the design preference, it could be costly. But a good alternative is to perhaps contract good designers and furniture makers to create a copycat image to which you may have to pay less.

There are a lot of upholstery makers and designers out there who can get the job done and among them include the likes of Ameer Radwan who manages Couch, a shop located in Fremont. With more than 200 custom made models in their wing, you are bound to find a sofa that may be familiar but costs less. If not, you can perhaps ask them to make you one based on the couch or sofa that you are aching to have but unfortunately cannot afford.

Radwan is proud to be able to provide eco-friendly couches as well. He tells me that to be considered eco-friendly, a couch must be made with Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood, organic latex instead of standard polyurethane foam, and water-based glues and stains on any exposed wood, as well as sustainable, non-chemically treated fabrics. An eco-friendly sofa from Couch will run you about $2,000, much less than the $5,000 $7,000 his competitors ask.

When it comes to leather, unless you are able to carefully maintain and take care of them, chances are they will wear out easily. We have seen most leather made furniture such as chairs, sofas and the usual couch at home and if we fail to address the proper way to clean them or care for them, they will soon loose their aura.

But thanks to innovations similar to seat covers, Cover my furniture now offers a great way to bring back the luster and add some ideas to present home furnishings as well. Leather covers can cover up the worn out home pieces and project a better image. Better yet, if you have the traditional cloth covers, you can also turn to these leather covers to change the style that they normally had.

Not a bad way to brighten up your home especially if you are thinking modern these days.

We all know that these days, buying and selling in the real estate market has took quite a slow drive. This stems from the fact that people are tightening their belts and at the same time evaluating their investment for the worthy home designs. Cheap homes are still around but nothing sells better than a greatly presented and perhaps renovated home up in the market.

Simple makeovers and probably furnishing a property for sale can make a difference. It doesn’t have to be expensive. In short, making a home ready to live in may up the stakes a bit, not to mention that of getting good profits out of it.

After watching her house, priced at $80,000, sit on the market for about a year, Henson recently hired accredited home stager Karen Goss of Jackson to spruce up the site.

Home stagers de-clutter crowded homes, add personal touches — such as furniture and flowers — and make suggestions on how to impress sellers.

“I never had heard about staging until I had seen it on TV,” said Henson, 67, a former Jackson resident who lives in Lansing. “I called my granddaughters in Chicago, and they had seen it was out there and they suggested I should do it.”

Goss and her partner for Henson’s project, Lansing-based stager Jed Leggett, brought in used tables, a couch, framed pictures and other accents. They also planned a list of improvements that Henson could tend to on her own, including replacing the broken window, fixing a rickety porch railing and adding shrubs to the front lawn.

The home could be ready for showing in the next few weeks and Henson hopes to sell the house in a month or two.
