Furniture Upholstery Making Old Furniture New

 When it comes to decorating your home, one of the biggest components of ensuring your new interior is stylish and welcoming is the furniture. Your furniture says a lot about you and the home you live it. Your living room is the place you relax in whilst at home and the place you use to host guests. Because of this it is important that your furniture is in the best possible condition, this can sometimes be hard to up keep if your furniture is antique or has been in the family home for many years but there is an alternative if you don’t want to replace your existing furniture.

You should not simply replace the old furniture. Furniture upholstery, although not as popular as it once was is still a specialist art and companies such as Moores & Sons still have a passion for restoring old furniture to new. Moores & Sons have over 60 years experience in furniture upholstery and not only can they help restore your old furniture to its former vibrant self but they can tailor the upholstery to your desires, adding comfort and changing the material and colours used.

If you have an old piece of furniture and are interested in furniture upholstery visit Moores & Sons for more information.
 

Furniture Reupholstery a Growing Trend in 2012

When it comes to decorating the home and changing furniture, more and more homeowners are beginning to look at the option of reupholstering existing pieces of furniture rather than buying new sofa and chairs. One reason for this trend could be the fact that many homeowners are still looking for ways to save money with the current economic climate; however another reason for the increase could be the opportunities that are available when you contact furniture upholsterers. 

This growing trend presents homeowners who may own furniture that has been in their family for generations to renovate, rather than replace existing furniture. This isn’t the only pro to furniture reupholstery; upholstery also allows shoppers to fully customise their furniture. Whereas purchasing a completely new sofa or chair from the high street would mean choosing from a selection of that season’s style, by choosing reupholstery, you can decide on the exact colour, fabric and style of your furniture, this is perfect if you want your furniture to perfect match your own style and the design of the room the furniture will sit in.

If you own furniture that you would rather revitalise than replace, contact Moore & Sons for more information on furniture reupholstery today.  

Why Furniture Upholstery May Be Better Than Buying New

 When it comes to redecorating and home improvement the immediate reaction of so many people is to head out and begin looking for all new furnishings and fixtures to adorn their house with. However furniture upholstery is now becoming more popular with home owners who are not only looking to save money but also don’t want to lose quality or comfortable furniture just because it doesn’t fit its new surroundings. Here are some of the main reasons why furniture upholstery may be a better option then buying new:

  •  New furniture can be very expensive, re-upholstering existing furniture will not only be cheaper, but you will be able to choose the exact style you want the upholsterers to work on.
     
  • Getting rid of fine traditional furniture just because you are redecorating your home is a great shame. Antique furniture may have been inherited and reupholstery can ensure the furniture stays in the family for many years to come.
     
  • Reupholstery can bring antique or tired furniture back to life. Although an antique chair or sofa may look like it has seen better days, reupholstery can revitalise and add life to old furniture. 

If you are interested in furniture upholstery or reupholstery of any antique furniture you may own, contact Moore & Sons for more information. 

The Origins and Future of Chair Upholstery

Chair upholstery is the art of providing chairs with springs, webbing, padding and a covering of fabric or leather. The word upholstery in the English language originates anywhere between the 11th and 15th century and takes its origins from the word upholder. During the 18th century upholsterers would have plied their trade building each layer of a fine chair by hand using traditional materials to produce some of the most beautiful pieces of furniture ever produced. 

Today re-upholstery has become the modern day upholstery, with upholsterers now using their skills to repair and renovate chairs rather than creating pieces of furniture from scratch. This craftsmanship can help restore a tired antique chair into the vibrant centre piece of beauty it once was. Modern chair upholstery allows the owner to choose a patterned fabric of their choice, whilst also tailoring the chair to their own taste or home with a bespoke frame; ensuring exquisite antique chairs receive the care they deserve.
