As professional furniture upholsters, we are often asked whether or not furniture should be reupholstered. Reupholstery involves removing the original layer of fabric from the furniture and applying the new layer. This will allow you to use furniture that has been worn down over time.

If you're wondering if you need to reupholster your furniture, we've put together a few reasons that may sway your decision.

Restore Quality Piece

Simply put, new furniture does not meet similar standards to older furniture. Nowadays, the majority of furniture is packed in flat boxes, constructed of composite wood frames and rubber straps. Before the mass production of furniture by manufacturers and cutting corners to create affordable, compact pieces, furniture was made of premium materials and higher quality workmanship.

Each piece, whether it's an armchair or sofa, was built with quality in mind and designed to last for years. Reupholstering furniture can allow you to preserve an old piece that you love and give the furniture a fresh appearance to preserve it.

Do Your Bit for the Environment

Instead of throwing away older and worn furniture, sofa reupholstery is an excellent way to breathe new life into an old piece and prevent it from ending up in the landfill. When you restore your old furniture, you're helping to keep the earth healthy as less natural resources are consumed. Frames and springs can be reused, meaning less steel is required. Reupholstering furniture basically recycles your furniture to create a new piece.

Update the Old Furniture Piece

As time passes the style of your home may have changed. However, this does not mean you have to discard your old furniture when you are renovating your house. Reupholstering is the best solution and can be a great method to refresh your furniture's style. If you decide to replace old designs with vibrant and striking fabric or go for patterns, reupholstering is an eco-friendly solution to transform furniture.
