Quality furniture pieces are a practical necessity for any home. They provide comfort, add to the decor, and may even have sentimental value. If your sofa or chair has seen better days, but you’re not quite ready to part with it, you should think about reupholstering. Learn more about when furniture reupholstery is appropriate with the guide below. 

When Should You Reupholster Furniture?

1. It’s Old

Old furniture is much sturdier than many of the pieces made within the last 10 years. Because of the difference in quality, older items will benefit from reupholstery service. New furniture may not be worth the investment, especially if they’ve only given you a few years of use.

2. Sturdy Frame

3. Stiff Cushions

Though seating with soft, pliable cushions may seem ideal, it’s often a sign of low quality. Sofa cushions should have some weight and firmness to them. Though seat padding may feel lumpy and stiff after years of use, it can still be renovated to become like new again. However, if the cushions easily compress, the chair might not be worth saving. 

4. New Style

You don’t need to replace your furniture to change your home decor. Throwing these items away is wasteful and new pieces are costly. Reupholstering will breathe new life into old chairs and sofas. Through this process, you can alter the color scheme, patterns, and designs to fit your current aesthetic without purchasing new furniture.
