Get ready for spring with Joe Ellis Upholstery & Fabrics

- BY KAREN RICE NWA DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE

It’s hard to believe it right now, but spring is right around the corner. Really! Before you know it, we’ll be out and about and enjoying the sunshine in beautiful Northwest Arkansas. And right now is the perfect time to get started on your warm weather outdoor and recreation­al upholstery projects with Joe Ellis Upholstery & Ellis Fabrics. Freshen up your patio or other outdoor cushions, refurbish your RV or camper, and make your outdoor living décor really pop this season.

A one-stop shop

A good place to start dreaming is on the Ellis Fabrics side of Joe Ellis Upholstery. Joe and his mom Cheryl expanded the business a few years ago to include Ellis Fabrics, providing their customers with an amazing selection of upholstery and home décor fabric options and a convenient one-stop shopping experience.

Outdoor fabrics galore

Here, among rolls upon rolls of neatly organized fabrics, you’ll find an amazing array of outdoor options, including fun prints, colorful solids and patterns, bold stripes and versatile neutrals. There’s also the design room, where customers can browse hundreds of sample books.

And the popular bargain room, with its huge selection of remnants and discontinu­ed patterns at reasonable prices.

Start by freshening up those outdoor cushions so you’ll be ready for entertaini­ng and spending time out on the deck. Good quality outdoor fabrics are stain and fade resistant, durable and easy to clean. And they aren’t what most people think of when they think “outdoor fabric,” Cheryl points out.

“They make so many of them that look like indoor fabric, not just what you would expect when you think about outdoor cushions,” she says. “They’re also great for accent pieces for home décor, such as throw pillows, window seats, and cushions for your sunroom, especially when people have kids and pets because they’re durable and easy to clean.”

Glamping, camping or hitting the road

Now is also a great time to beat the rush and get your RV or camper updated while it is in storage.

“We can help give a fun, funky look to a vintage camper; ‘glamp’ your current camper, or update and freshen your motorhome,” Cheryl notes. “We have several in-stock fabrics available that are perfect for campers and reasonably priced.”

As always, the friendly staff at Joe Ellis Upholstery and Fabrics is available to help you find the perfect fabrics to bring your vision to life. Joe Ellis Upholstery and Ellis Fabrics, located at 8826 W. McNelly Rd. in Bentonvill­e. They’re open Monday through Friday from 8-5.
