Cushions: The Quickest Way to Change a Room

by Anju Khandelwal in Posts

Walls and furniture set the shape of a room. Cushions give it a mood, and you can swap them in minutes.

On a bed

Cushions finish it. A few in front of the pillows make a bed look made. Mix sizes, say two large and two small, and keep to one accent colour.

On a sofa

Odd numbers look relaxed. Even numbers look formal. Pick one plain, one patterned and one textured, and stop there.

Change with the season

Light covers for summer, heavier weaves for winter. Change the covers and keep the inserts.

Cover or full cushion?

A cover costs less and is easy to wash, so most people change covers. Buy a good insert once.

Kids' rooms

Cushions can soften the edge of a cot or bed, but keep them out of a baby's sleeping space.

How many rolls of wallpaper do I need for my wall?

A standard designer wallpaper roll, 53 cm wide and 10 metres long, covers about 45 square feet of wall, give or take 10 percent. Many of our rolls run to 10.5 metres, and the exact length is on every product page. On a 9 foot ceiling that means three strips from one roll for a small pattern, and two strips for a medium or large one. So the honest way to count rolls is by strips, not square feet. Here is how Jagdish Store works it out in Gurugram. Step one: count the strips Measure the width of the wall in centimetres and divide it by 53, the width of one roll. Round up to the next whole number. That is your number of strips, which fitters call drops. A wall 305 cm wide (10 feet) needs 305 / 53 = 5.75, so 6 strips. Step two: see how many strips one roll gives you Each strip is the height of your wall plus 10 cm for trimming at the top and bottom. Divide the roll length, 1,000 cm or 1,050 cm depending on the design, by that strip length and round down. On a 9 foot wall (274 cm), each strip is 284 cm. Either roll length gives 3 strips. On a wall around 11 feet tall, each strip is about 345 cm. A 10 metre roll gives only 2, while a 10.5 metre roll still gives 3. Then divide your strips by the strips per roll and round up. Six strips at three per roll is 2 rolls. How the pattern changes the count Every pattern repeats at a fixed height, and each new strip has to start where the design lines up with the one beside it. That costs paper. Pattern Strips per roll at 9 feet Extra to allow Texture, stripe, small floral 3 none Medium pattern, repeat from 33 cm 2 about 20 percent Large pattern, repeat above 68 cm 2 about 30 percent The same 10 foot wall with a medium pattern needs 6 strips at two per roll, which is 3 rolls instead of 2. Do I need a spare roll? We do not add one to your quote automatically. It is still worth thinking about. Rolls are printed in batches and a later batch can differ slightly in shade, so if you expect to repair a damaged strip in a few years, buying one extra roll now keeps the colour identical. What installation costs Installation is ₹850 per roll, premium glue included. Part of a roll counts as a full roll. Wall murals are installed at ₹20 per square foot. For a measured wallpaper job, you book the fitter's home visit online with an advance of at least 20 percent of the wallpaper value. It is not refundable and is adjusted in your final bill. Frequently asked questions Why not just divide the wall area by 45 square feet? Because strips cannot be joined end to end. A roll that yields three full strips plus a short offcut leaves that offcut unused, so the square foot figure overstates what you can actually hang. Counting strips gives the real number. My ceiling is higher than 9 feet. What changes? Each strip gets longer, so one roll may give two strips instead of three. Divide the roll length on the product page by your wall height plus 10 cm, round down, and use that figure. How much does it cost to install two rolls? Two rolls cost ₹1,700 to install at ₹850 a roll, glue included. If the job uses part of a third roll, that part is charged as a full roll. Where can I see the designs?

How much upholstery fabric do I need for my sofa?

A modern sofa needs about 4.5 metres of upholstery fabric, often called sofa fabric, per seat, so a three seater takes roughly 13.5 metres. That figure is the one Jagdish Store uses in its Gurugram workroom, and it covers both the seat and the back of each place on the sofa. The rest of this page gives the figure for every common sofa and chair shape, a worked example, and what happens before a single metre is cut. Metres per seat, by sofa and chair type These are the quantities our workroom plans with. Each one covers the seat and the back. Piece Fabric needed Modern sofa 4.5 metres per seat Chesterfield sofa 4.5 metres per seat Indian carved sofa 3.5 metres per seat Single seater sofa chair 6 metres Recliner or lounge chair 6 metres Slipper chair 4 metres Carved Indian sofas need less because the wooden frame shows. Fabric only covers the cushioned panels, not the arms and outer sides. A single chair needs more than one seat of a sofa because it has two arms, a full outer back and no neighbour sharing a side. Working it out for your room Multiply the seats by the figure for your sofa type, then add any chairs. A three seater modern sofa: 3 x 4.5 = 13.5 metres A two seater Indian carved sofa: 2 x 3.5 = 7 metres One recliner: 6 metres For a living room with all three, that is 26.5 metres in total. Why a large pattern can change the number Plain fabrics and small textures can be cut in any direction, so very little is wasted. A large motif or a bold stripe has to line up across the back, the seat and the cushions, and matching it uses extra fabric. Our tailor checks the repeat on your chosen fabric and confirms the final metres at the home visit, before anything is cut. What re-covering costs on top of the fabric Re-covering labour starts at ₹2,500 per seat for every sofa and chair style. The exact price depends on the frame, the foam and the stitching detail you choose, so it is quoted at the home visit rather than online. Ottomans, benches and headboards are ₹2,500 a piece. How the home visit works You book the tailor's visit online by date and time. Slots run every hour from 11 am to 6 pm, any day, from tomorrow up to 60 days ahead. To book, you pay at least 20 percent of the fabric value as an advance. It is not refundable, and it is adjusted in your final bill. Ordering the full fabric also books the visit. At the visit the tailor measures the actual frame, confirms the metres and gives the labour estimate. If the work comes to more than you paid at order, the difference is added to your final bill. If it comes to less, the difference is refunded. Frequently asked questions Does the per seat figure include the back cushions? Yes. Every per seat figure on this page covers the seat and the back of that place on the sofa. Loose scatter cushions are separate and can be added in the same order, choosing each cushion size and quantity. Why does a single chair need more fabric than one sofa seat? A single chair has two arms, a full outer back and two outer sides of its own. One seat of a sofa shares its sides with the seats beside it, so it needs less fabric. Can I order fabric first and book the tailor later? Yes. Ordering the full fabric books the visit, and the tailor confirms the exact metres at your home before cutting. If you prefer to see the frame measured first, pay the 20 percent advance and choose a slot. Where can I see the upholstery fabrics?
