Rejuvenate Your Home

When you have been settled in a home for a while, your stuff will eventually start to show their age. Wood trims become faded, curtains get holes in them and sofa seats become flat. Ignoring the fact that old furniture does not look pretty, they might be a health hazard as well. The quick and simple way to remedy these problems would be to replace all your old furniture. However, this can cost thousands of dollars; and since this needs to be done every five or so years, that means you will be continuously pouring money that you will not recover down the drain.

A trick to cut down costs is to check your sofa cushions. Most sofas tend to look old simply because the upholstery is worn and the foam seat is already flat. A simple reupholster and a replacement foam cushion will help save a few bucks and make your sofa look brand new; and since the sofa attracts a lot of attention in the living room, having it in tip top shape will make your place prettier in a heartbeat.

Aside from aesthetics, changing your foam cushion will also be healthier for your back. Flat seats make it harder to stand up from the sofa since the lack of a bounce from the cushion means your back takes more pressure while standing up.

Changing a foam seat is simple and cheap. Most sofas have zippers on their cushions to slip the foam in and out. Replacement foam is conveniently available in retail stores and online.
