Reupholstery involves replacing the existing upholstery, such as fabric or leather, on a piece of furniture. In some cases, the term ‘reupholstery’ can include the furniture internals (padding, fixing, springs and more) as well.

There are many great reasons to reupholster a sofa, chair or armchair, whether it be to upcycle an old or damaged piece, change the look of your home, or give long-held family furniture a second life. You’ll even be increasing the safety of your home by switching to fabrics that meet fire resistance requirements.
