UPHOLSTERY

What Is Upholstery?

Upholstery involves taking soft materials (like fabric or leather, webbing, padding, and/or springs) and using that to cover different types of furniture or ornamental items. Upholstery is an especially popular treatment for chairs and seats from classic chesterfield chairs to a retro-modern tub chair since it adds the comfort of padding and a splash of style; however, modern upholstery fabrics can be used on a variety of furniture and décor pieces with either functional or decorative intent.

What Can You Use Upholstery For?

Upholstery serves many purposes from conservation to design innovation, and the diverse options for customizations are unmatched by standard furniture selections.

Furniture Repair

Save a piece of furniture from the perils of the landfill with upholstery services that can fix torn, worn, or broken pieces and reinvigorate well-worn items. Reupholstering a piece of furniture instead of buying a new item is an environmentally friendly way of enhancing your décor.

Increase Comfort

Upholstered seats increase the comfort of that specific piece of furniture, and it helps create an overall feeling of comfort in the space as well. And with a modern understanding of ergonomics and design, upholstered chairs can provide seating that’s eons beyond being merely superficially comfortable, it can be physically healthier for your body to sit on.

Revitalize Antiques

Preserve a beloved family heirloom or restore a cherished antique with multifaceted upholstery fabrics that breathe new life into old furniture. Whether you want to restore the piece to its original glory or restyle a classic to better suit your modern style or personal tastes, upholstery offers a way to be design forward while still appreciating the past.

Enhance Interior Décor

The material of couches, sofas, chairs, and other upholstered pieces helps create the visual identity of the décor and affects how each piece relates to the other items in a room and contributes to the style of a room as a whole. Upholstered pieces can be designed to anchor the style of a room with a rich neutral base or spice up décor with accent colors and patterns, and with custom upholstery, you can be assured the style will be uniquely your own.

Increase Durability

Modern upholstery fabrics and synthetically enhanced materials can increase the longevity of your furniture by creating a more durable surface covering. Enhanced durability features can include being stain resistant, water repellent, or being engineered with a tighter weave to better withstand the rigors of heavy use.

Office and Commercial Applications

Upholstered furniture isn’t just something we see in residential homes, it’s also prominent in business settings where you might see upholstery in meeting rooms, waiting for areas, office spaces, and conference centers as well as more commercial spaces like retail locations and restaurants. Businesses value upholstery because when strategically styled it can hold up to high traffic areas and yet also maintain a finished look that’s comfortable to use.
