Choosing upholster furniture …

When time comes to “create space”, we need be sure not only about colors and style, but also wisely select furniture that match into the “idea”. If we are dealing with furniture like closets, shelves, tables and kitchen furniture it is usually more easy because they have enough functionality, but with upholstery (and its colossal variety and selection), things are more difficult. This variety, which is presented on our market, requires client to think longer about his final choice. And to choose the new generation of clients has to have information on the product: its properties and its characteristics.

HISTORY

Furniture, table in particular, came almost together with a first intelligent person. This was an area or territory, where food was divided. With time it was understood, that food has to be placed away from the insects. So the table now got its legs. Then need for a chair has aroused shelves and bedrooms. With formation of elite societies, which according to its status had to sit and sleep on the best furniture, so the upholster furniture appeared. This is what happened tens of thousands of years B.C., but in present days the variety of furniture is not thousands but tens of thousands.

WHAT THE CLIENT NEEDS TO KNOW

Couches, chairs, poufs – are all interior objects. Which not only complement and complete the chosen style, but also serve day by day, confirming their importance. Probably because of this when you come to furniture shop you will hear number of question from professional consultant who will help you to orient in this large variety.

1. First of all you will be asked if you have small children in the family or any pets.

And from the information given you should choose your upholstery. And hear the decision is yours – either you order upholstery which doesn’t easily wear, easily washable and durable, or periodically change old upholstery to new one (don’t be fooled not many furniture stores do this kind of service).

It’s not a secret that the most popular fabric in the world is alcantara. Smooth and pleasant to touch, it’s on of the most durable and anti wearable fabrics in the world. Alcantara - is synthetic fabric, which imitates suede, but along with this it has passed all the tests and was confirmed to be ecologically safe.

For those who chose leather upholstery, here is some important things: leather can be of different types – cold (when pores are closed) and worm (when pores are open). Type of leather directly depends on the way it was painted.

Sales consultants recommended cold leather for soft furniture, which wears more because of its frequent use (for example chairs and sofas in public places) and warm – for couches in the living room.

2. Comfort of upholster furniture is a question for every individual, but for those who came across with uncomfortable sofa, have very important factor to consider – its filling.

Usually construction of Italian, German and Spanish furniture is different from each other. Germans, for example, in most cases place different kinds of springs inside the furniture, on which later they place polyurethane, the soft layers are also different. This structure allows the furniture to keep its original shape for many years. Italians on the other hand use fluff in upper layers (which Germans never do in their production) and very rarely springs. As a result traditionally furniture from Italy is very soft.

3. Durability and price quality relation. In most cases prices of the furniture is proportional to what’s the filling inside and quality (upholstery so as the inner filling). Those who produce low cost furniture use fabrics of lower quality and because of that decrease its price. The price is also affected by additional functions: headrest, footrests, and armrests.

4. Design and style of your furniture, but the time you come into the furniture shop, is already decided by your architect or you wife. Today any style of furniture can find its customer: classic, modern or ultra modern – choice is up to you.

There is no point to argue about taste and preferences. Today in every furniture shop you can find original design solutions, which allow you realize all your dreams for home interior. With color things are much easier: if there is not color you want in the stock, you then get a catalogue with samples of fabrics and leather. You choose yourself not only the color but the type of fabric for upholstery for your sofa. Then after some time the order will be delivered to your home. Survey of sales consultants has revealed that most demanded colors are beige and brown.

ON THE BATTLEFILED...

Competition in any sector allows big variety to spoil even the most demanded customers. There was always a demand for upholster furniture, now it’s also very high, only the requirements to producer and sales people is much higher than those before. Back then it was easier: came in, saw, and bought. Now, as many sales consultants say, it is rare that client makes immediate purchase. To start with client get to know the selection offered in different furniture shops, and only then makes a purchase. And it’s no wonder, because now there are more factors to it. Main ones are price, brand or producer, properties of product, design and service.

PRICE

This cretiria is one of the most important for customers from Dubai and UAE as a whole. Diffrent people have different abilities and so as different choice segments.

This help customer to get accurate, clear and professional mark on the product of his interest. Thanks to a service like this, potential client gets a desire to come back to that furniture shop and to that sales consultant. And that is European approach.
