Whether you have a hand-me-down couch that doesn't quite match your existing decor, an interesting old chair picked up at an estate sale, or a favorite piece of furniture that just needs a pick-me-up, consider reupholstering. Reupholstering your furniture is a cost-effective and decidedly "green" way to reuse and repurpose old furniture. It also allows you to get a look that's distinctly yours, for a fraction of what you would pay for brand-new furniture.
Ready to tackle a reupholstery project? Your first step is selecting the piece of furniture you'd like to reupholster. A good rule to follow is to reupholster a quality piece of furniture, such as Grandma's favorite chair, rather than one that's more disposable, like a cheap couch picked up at a discount store. Look over each piece you're considering to reupholster carefully to make sure it's worth the project.
Next, visit your favorite home decorating stores to choose fabric for the project. Keep in mind that the most appropriate fabric for a project like this is "upholstery weight". You can easily tell whether or not a fabric is upholstery weight by feel -- it is heavier and more durable than the fabric typically used for curtains or slipcovers.
Finally, look for a reputable business in your area. Ask a friend who they've used in the past, or do an internet search. Your fabric store probably has a list of people they typically work with to share with you.
Are you more of a do-it-yourself person? Reupholstery can be a fun DIY project, depending on the piece you want to work on, your skill level, and your patience! Easy reupholstery projects include dining room chairs, ottomans, and benches.
Keep in mind that while reupholestery is not inexpensive, it is definitely more economical than buying new furniture. In addition, you can customize and modernize the appearance of your piece of furniture when you reupholster, by adding decorative tacks, cording or welting. So don't toss that old couch, chair or bench to the curb! Reupholster it, and reap the benefits for many years to come.
