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.

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.
