FAQs
1. What’s the difference between reupholstery and furniture recovering?
Reupholstery involves fully removing old fabric, inspecting and repairing the frame, replacing padding if needed, and fitting entirely new fabric – essentially rebuilding the piece. Recovering, on the other hand, usually means fitting new fabric over existing upholstery, without internal restoration. Reupholstery provides a more thorough, long-lasting result.
2. Can you make small repairs during the reupholstery process?
Yes – our upholsterers will repair or reinforce frames, springs, or joints as needed. This ensures your furniture isn’t just beautiful on the outside but structurally sound and comfortable for years to come.
3. Can I reupholster my furniture in a completely different colour or style?
Absolutely! Reupholstery is your chance to completely transform your furniture. You can choose a new colour palette, fabric texture, or even add decorative details like piping or buttons. Your consultant will help you create a design that perfectly complements your home.
4. Do you offer eco-friendly or sustainable fabric options?
Yes – we’re proud to offer a growing range of eco-friendly and sustainably sourced fabrics. Many are made from recycled fibres or produced using low-impact methods. Reupholstery itself is already a greener choice, helping to reduce waste and extend the life of quality furniture rather than replacing it.
5. Do you replace the cushions or padding during reupholstery?
Yes. During the reupholstery process, we inspect and replace any worn-out or flattened fillings. We can use foam, feather, or fibre fillings depending on your comfort preference, so your furniture feels as good as it looks when it’s finished.
