Re-upholster vs New
Is it worth Reupholstering Existing Furniture?
Quality of the item
You may have a piece of furniture that is looking slightly dated and in need of repair, but age is often the sign of good quality. If the chair is structurally sound, it is often perfect for restoration and reupholstery. If your chair is struggling to stand on its own four legs… then it’s probably time to look at purchasing a new one.

Style Change
Sometimes we all just a want a change, and there is nothing wrong with that. Whether it is a result of our styles that have changed, or that we have a new preference for colour patterns or design. It most certainly is not a reason to waste a good piece of furniture, or worse, loose it to landfill. It may be that you have decided to conduct some interior redesign or modelling at home or for your business. This may result in the requirement for new colours, a more contemporary look or even completely new design needs. Choosing the right fabric is key, and when choosing to reupholster an item, with the help of your local expert upholstery professional, the choice of fabric and colour is endless.

The sentimental value
We all have a piece of furniture that has an unwritten sentimental value. Whether you have inherited the item, or you just love the way it looks and feels, these are the perfect reasons to look at having it reupholstered.
