Have you recently renovated a room in your house and can’t decide whether to remodel furniture or buy a new one? Have you found that new furniture is too big for your space and too soft for your comfort? Let's look at some information that can help you in making the best decision for your particular situation.
4 Good reasons for reuse, not buying new ones.
1. Hardwood frame construction - Determine how heavy the piece of furniture is. If you can lift it with one hand on one side easily, most likely it’s not, but if it has some weight, the frame is most likely made of hardwood. Even if the frame needs repairs; which can usually be taken care of while it is a hardwood frame.
2 Do you like the size and basic style - Many customers have recently expressed the fact that when they are looking for new furniture, they cannot find pieces that will fit into their space. They find that most of the furniture for sale today is too big and soft for their comfort. If size and style are suitable for you, it is better to reinstall it. In the end, it has served you so far, and even if you want to make some minor changes to the style, these changes can usually be made.
3 Large selection of fabrics - When re-upholstery has a large selection of designer fabrics to choose from, making it much easier than if you bought a new piece of furniture, where the choice of fabrics is limited.
4. Sentimental meaning - This furniture may have sentimental value for you. Maybe it belongs to your grandmother or grandfather, whom you love very much. The age of the piece may give it some value, since it has been passed down from generation to generation in your family. Whatever the sentimental cause, it makes a good argument for reuse, not for buying a new one.
These are four reasons to consider when deciding whether to retool the selected piece of furniture, rather than replacing it with a new part. You can personally find other reasons, but in any case, if you decide to repack, there are a few things you need to look for when you buy an upholster to do this work. Here is some information that may be helpful.
When individual work is done, for example, a chair for dressing a sofa or a chair for dressing; including the restoration of antique chairs, the right way to do it - to break it into a frame, repair, redo, and sometimes restyling, when necessary. Antique chairs may need special attention to preserve their value, but this is information for a whole new article. High-quality materials should be used, and the areas with the most intense wear, such as internal parts and pillows, must be covered with muslin first before the final cover is applied.
The final covering fabric should be chosen to coordinate with the colors and prints already in the room, and should be a type of fabric to withstand the amount of use applied to it. As mentioned earlier, there should be a large selection of designer fabrics to choose from. If all these criteria are met, the finished part must be a completely new special upholstered furniture that fits correctly and adds beauty and warmth to the setting of your room.
