Rejuvenate & Reupholster Your Furniture for a Brand New Look

Have you been considering a new look, but you don’t want to invest the money into completely redecorating your home? Or do you have some favorite pieces – antiques or heirlooms – that you want to use in your home, but they just look shabby and run-down? Before you spend time and money shopping for new furniture and trying to donate or sell your old furnishings, you should consider reupholstering your existing pieces.

Is it worth it to reupholster?

A change of fabric and some freshly-stuffed cushions can make a huge difference when you reupholster your furniture. Choosing to reupholster gives you the opportunity to select exactly what you want and make your “style vision” a reality.

How much does it cost to reupholster an ottoman, recliner, sofa or chair?

It may not always be cheaper to reupholster your furniture than to buy new, but this depends largely on the types of materials you choose. You should always consider the sentimental value of the item, as well as the overall quality of the piece, that you are considering for reupholstery. The size of the item is also a consideration. You will find that a sofa is considerably more than a chair, for instance.

What is the best fabric for upholstery?

It’s always advisable to select a durable fabric, especially for homes that have pets or small children.

For homes with pets and children, consider a fabric like microfiber or faux suede, which are easy to wash and can handle heavy, everyday wear and tear.

What are the furniture fabric trends for 2020?

Wondering what the next big trend will be? Here are some things to look for in 2020. Boucle, florals, and acrylics are “in” this year, so keep this in mind when choosing your fabrics. Also, natural textiles like wool, cotton, and linen are really big as well, as we see an emphasis on all things natural in the home. One trend you probably want to steer clear of is the bold, solid-colored sofas that have been so popular. These are being replaced by more feminine and natural fabrics.
