Reupholstering furniture is a great alternative to buying all new custom designed furniture pieces, especially when you want to be green and save some green.

You or many of your clients may have emotional ties to a certain sectional sofa that is a family heirloom, has been in one’s household or office for years, or simply want to cut costs compared to buying brand new custom upholstered furniture. When those older furniture pieces don’t match the new design or renovation idea, reupholstering is the best solution for keeping a familiar piece while recreating it to fit in with the new aesthetic.

Reupholstering furniture offers many of the advantages that custom furniture upholstery offers but at a lower cost and impact to the environmental, as we would be recycling as much of the original piece as possible. Although you would be limited to your existing furniture’s frame, there is a great amount of designer freedom when it comes to fabric, trim, and finish.

This sofa pictured above started with a yellow floral fabric, an excess of welting, and a set of six buttons for added flair. But after our extensive ...
... makeover, lead by the interior designer, the piece gained new life with a lovelymodern grey fabric, which better pronounced the curve of the sofa back; thesmall buttons in the back were removed, for a contemporary and sleeker look;and the cushions were re-stuffed with Soya Foam, for improved shape and comfort. The end result was a drastic improvement in both the form and function of the custom design furniture piece.

Like all our custom made furniture, reupholstered furniture can be built to designer specifications, providing the end customer with the custom designed furniture feel at a fraction of the price. Just like our custom upholstered furniture, our reupholstered furniture will be sure to satisfy your taste in both aesthetics and comfort.
