Furniture Re-upholstery

There are many reasons why you should reupholster your furniture. Here are a few:
 
  • It's more eco-friendly than buying new furniture. When you reupholster your furniture, you're keeping it out of the landfill and preventing the need to produce new furniture. This is a great way to reduce your environmental impact.
  • It's more cost-effective than buying new furniture. The cost of reupholstering a piece of furniture is often much less than the cost of buying a new one. This is especially true if you have a high-quality piece of furniture that is just in need of a new fabric.
  • It allows you to customize your furniture. When you reupholster your furniture, you can choose the fabric, style, and colour that you want. This gives you the opportunity to create a piece of furniture that is perfectly suited to your taste and décor.
  • It can extend the life of your furniture. Reupholstering your furniture can help to protect it from wear and tear, and can extend its lifespan by many years. This is a great way to save money in the long run.
  • It can update the look of your home. Reupholstering your furniture is a great way to update the look of your home without having to make major changes. This is a relatively easy and affordable way to give your home a new look.

If you're considering reupholstering your furniture, be sure to do your research and find a reputable upholsterer. This will ensure that your furniture is reupholstered to the highest standards and that you're happy with the results.

Danish Sofa Restoration

The Danish furniture we buy to restore and re-upholster is quite often unusual pieces which you may not have seen before. We like interesting individual pieces, and we can see beyond the sad upholstery. We can see shapes and detail that lots of people would miss or would not even entertain! The skills Mark has lets us buy furniture which some would turn their nose up at and dismiss without a second glance.

This particular sofa caught our attention for a few reasons. Its actually bigger than we would normally buy, but what struck us was that it wasn't deep. We have so many people come into the shop complaining that lots of furniture is so deep, their feet don't touch the floor and its not good for posture. This hit the spot and the teak arm tops gave this simple looking sofa, style and elegance without being fussy. We don't like fussy show off furniture! 

It hadn't been long on our website when a local couple came into the shop to enquire about it. They had been looking for quite sometime but couldn't find anything new they liked and most sofas were just too deep. They came out to the workshop to see the unrestored sofa and decided it was for them. They chose the orange wool from Abraham Moon as they liked bright colours. Most of the modern furniture they had been looking at was beige so beige was not even and option on this piece. Orange works so well with teak and is one of our favourite fabrics. Natural wool and hard wearing so ticks all the boxes.

The sofa was delivered yesterday, so take a look at the video to see the before and after photos. If you don't have imagination then hopefully this will help.
