| Furniture Reupholstery | | ____________________________________________________________________________________________ | | | A good furniture upholsterer can give furniture new form, take out dated details, raise the skirt & give you back a piece that’s better than new. Springs are replaced & retied. Fillings & foams are renewed. The frame is reinforced if needed. The finish is touched up. In short, you’ll have the equivalent of a new piece of furniture when the upholsterer is finished. That’s why the cost of reupholstery is often close to the price of a new piece. | When is it Worth Reupholstering?
| | |  | When you love it. |  | | Your furniture has a history that can’t be bought--& it has earned a place in your heart & your home. Perhaps the sofa was the first piece of furniture you bought in your marriage. Or that wing chair belonged to your grandfather. If a piece has sentimental value, it’s worth recovering. Whatever you choose--to buy new furniture or to reupholster--the cost of the fabric will be the same. | | | | When it has a good frame. |  | | If your furniture has a sturdy hardwood frame, it’s worth reupholstering--even if it’s decades old. (Just think of expensive antiques that are treasured & reupholstered--some for dozens of times). If your upholstered furniture was inexpensive when first purchased, it may not be worth recovering. | | |
| When it can be updated to your taste. |  | | Good upholsterers can update a piece of furniture--a piece that is too hard-edged can be plumped & softened. They can create a longer skirt or remove tufting or channeling, if desired. Since personal preferences are involved in restyling furniture, consult with the upholsterer &, if possible, look at the piece before the final fabric is applied. | | |
| When it will cost less than purchasing a new piece of furniture. |  | | Furniture reupholstery isn’t cheap—but it may be less costly than buying new furniture. The fabric cost will be about the same, regardless.  Learn About Slipcovers | | | | Call Your Local Store for a Quote | | | |
