signs it might be time to reupholster
Furniture receives a lot of attention and a fair amount of use in your home. Whether it is from the pets jumping up and calling it their own or the kids putting their feet up (with their shoes on) or even the daily use of curling up in your favourite seat in the house.
Upholstery is the soft, padded textiled covering that is fixed to your armchairs, sofas and such and with time your beloved piece of furniture will age and shall start to show signs that it may be time for some well deserved tender loving care.
Below are a few signs it might be time to look at reupholstering your furniture:
The Cushions
The cushions which were once full and firm are now flat or look saggy and no longer offer any lumbar support it is usually time for some new couch cushions.
Odour
Once a piece of furniture starts to smell or have a distinct odour, it should be redone. An odour can be a result of many things from spills to pets.
Change in taste
When your decorating tastes have changed and you no longer want a certain fabric, colour or print or if you wish to ‘update’ your furniture to match you new design theme.
The Material
Over time, the fabric covering couches and chairs can be torn, frayed or become worn. This is usually a clear indication that it is time to look at reupholstering or recovering the piece of furniture.
