The upholstery on furniture is exposed to all of your life’s moments, and many years of use frequently leads to fabric damage. If a favorite chair or loveseat is still in good shape structurally, you can opt to reupholster the pieces to preserve their function and upgrade the aesthetics. Before you run out and replace old furniture, consider the following benefits of sprucing up existing ones. 

Why Should You Reupholster Your Furniture?

1. Adds Value to Your Piece

If you already have an antique piece of furniture, you can continue to increase the value by keeping the upholstery in good shape. If you’re looking to maintain the natural feel and aesthetics of a chair, this type of upgrade allows you to restore its image without decreasing the value.

Avoid altering the overall frame or structure of an antique item to preserve the original characteristics. Since reupholstering often only requires fabric replacement, you can use this to save money instead of buying an entirely new set of furniture.

2. Personalizes Your Pieces

People commonly choose to reupholster rather than replace their furniture because of the customization this option awards. When selecting a new fabric for your chair, loveseat, or sofa, you can pick out precise shades and patterns that fit in well with the rest of the decor. This is an easy way to complete an existing room that complements your style and the rest of the furniture. 

3. Protects the Environment 

When pieces aren't repurposed, they end up in landfills. Synthetic fabrics, like polyester and nylon, take anywhere from 20 to 200 years to decompose. Choosing to reupholster furniture allows you to contribute to waste reduction. Replacing the fabric, springs, and foam on your favorite pieces enables you to keep them in your home. Recycling them gives them new life while also benefiting the environment.
