Do you have a jacket that makes you feel confident? Does your home have rugs that you can’t wait to sink your toes into? Is your comforter something that rewards you at the end of a long day?
Fabrics surround us every day, but we usually take for granted the way they improve our lives. Here are some tips to make the most of your fabrics.
Choose fabrics to enhance your lifestyle.
If you work in a professional setting, look for fabrics with structure and proper fit. Today’s fabric blends can offer style without compromising on comfort. Once you find a fabric you like, take note of it so you can look for it in other pieces.
At home, think about the spaces around your house. Adding cozy rugs can create comfortable living spaces where you can relax and unwind. Again, look at the types of fabrics in your favorite rugs and search for those types of fabrics in future purchases. This will provide next-level comfort and also provide continuity in your home design.
Show your fabrics some TLC (Tender Laundry Care).
Your wardrobe needs regular attention to last longer. Natural oil from your skin and even the road salt that is inevitable during winter can damage the fabrics of your favorite coats and pants.
Regular professional cleaning doesn’t just make your garment look good; it can extend the lifespan so you can love it for years to come.
Don’t neglect home fabrics.
We often focus on what we wear, but we forget about the fabrics that make life beautiful and comfortable. Draperies, throw pillows, comforters and carpets absorb dust, odors, and allergens over time, leaving them looking dull. Give your household textiles and carpet an expert cleaning to instantly brighten a room and freshen your home. As we spend a few more months indoors, make the most of this time with clean carpets and home fabrics.
Handle mishaps the right way.
A sudden spill of red wine or a splash of sauce doesn’t have to mean a breakup with your favorite garment. Rubbing a stain often sets it deeper into the fabric or damages the dye. Instead, blot it gently and bring it to a professional as soon as possible. Our fabric experts handle stains every day, and we can often reverse the damage and save the garment you thought was lost.
Give new life to an old favorite with alterations.
Do you have a piece in the back of your closet that you used to love, but it just doesn’t fit right anymore? Styles change and bodies change, but that doesn’t mean you have to toss a quality piece of clothing. Sometimes a simple hem, a waist adjustment, or a replaced zipper is all it takes to make an old garment feel brand new. A precise fit is the quickest way to fall in love with your wardrobe all over again.
