Recover VS Reupholster

Is it worth it?

Is your sofa or favorite chair starting to show a little wear and tear? Maybe it's time for a fresh new look! Discover all the things to consider when recovering and reupholstering your beloved furniture. Give it a makeover that will make it look as good as new!

Reupholster:

If you've got a trusty piece of furniture that's been by your side for over a decade and is still standing strong, chances are, it has a sturdy frame that's built to last a lifetime. Keep in mind that a good upholsterer can enhance, repair and strengthen your furniture pieces as well.
Check with your upholsterer for yardage requirements. Some shops will allow you to bring your own material - customarily called COM fabric (customer's own material) and some require you to purchase through their shop. This is something you will need to know before beginning your fabric search.
