The result is always amazing when the process is flawless from beginning to end. We’ve figured out the factors that make upholstery projects successful over the years. So, the following are the main points you should be aware of before bringing your beloved piece to be transformed!

Consider Styles and Designs You’re Likely to Love Forever

We are all watching our budgets for various reasons, not only the rising anxiety over the cost of living. When you decide to reupholster a piece of furniture that has been salvaged, it is our responsibility to make sure it is worth every penny of your money. Our main advice is to avoid micro trends and focus on styles and designs you’re more likely to adore for a lifetime. That doesn’t imply you should play things safe. On the contrary, it is the ideal time to show off your personality. However, if you find yourself pulled to something that is now popular, consider carefully whether it genuinely suits your taste or is simply a fad. Here, mood boards may be really helpful, and we also often hold in-depth fabric discussions to determine what kinds of styles will be on point and ageless.

Don’t Act Impulsively

When moving into a new home or making interior changes, it’s common to make impulsive furniture purchases or renovations. We constantly urge people to consider whether the design, size, and quality of the item they have in mind for upholstery are genuinely appropriate for the intended use. Waiting until you find the perfect solution is preferable to settling for what is readily available. Because of this, we rarely suggest purchasing something brand-new from the shelf. If something is cheap, there’s usually a good reason for it, and if it’s expensive, you can frequently make something similar using previously owned furniture or pre-loved items. Ponder your true desires for a moment. The nicest thing is that you get to completely rework it with fabric and colour you’ll enjoy for a lot longer after finding it online or at a vintage market.

Is Your Fabric Suitable for the Purpose?

Choosing a cloth that won’t withstand repeated wear is useless. We frequently witness this, where a client (or an interior designer, yes, really!) chooses a fabric based only on how it looks without giving any thought to how functional it would be. Utilise your upholsterer’s expertise on the useful properties of the fabric. For instance, some velvets will show every mark, natural cotton can fade extremely rapidly, and there are various factors to consider if you have children, pets, or a space that gets a lot of sunlight. A professional upholsterer will walk you through the process and choose a fabric that looks fantastic and is durable. We published a post that can help you learn how to choose the right fabric pattern for your upholstery.

Never Compare the Cost

Upholstery is often written off as being “too expensive,” but we sincerely urge you to think about what you’re getting. Although it will never be as expensive as a crappy item from the high street, the final product is almost always far superior. First, let’s not forget the benefit to the environment. Deciding to restore rather than throw away what you currently have will help the environment and lessens the load on landfills.
