Hi Jann

What a great job you did on my outrageous sofa. When I saw it sitting in a dusty corner of the Salvation Army shop at Upper Bukit Timah I just knew that with a little help from you it could be transformed - and it was! It needed some jewel-coloured velvet to set it off and you found just the right colour - and the matching brocade. Now it has just just the right amount of bling!

Thanks for all the work you've done for us - everything looks fabulous!

Foam paddings around the frame had also lost its density. The fabrics were threadbare and some of the paddings were exposed, causing even more tears to the upholstery.  But instead of simply discarding it, he chose to have us reupholster it. And we at Jazz it Up do not disappoint.  This is not the first time we work with him. We had previously reupholstered some dining chairs and a set of gliding rocker and ottoman for him. So we are indeed thankful to work with him again.  First we shortlist suitable fabrics for his selections.  Final fabric and trimmings chosen not only match the exquisite wood works, but must also be strong e...

More on Reupholstery

Sometimes we really feel like a "sofa doctor"  We diagnose and determine what need to be done to make your sofa shiny and new again.  Take the case of this L shape sofa that we had recently reupholstered.  After stripping the sofa at the workshop we found that the casings for all the loose cushions are torn. The fibre fills inserts in the backrest cushions had lumped together and hence the backrest cushions look and feels dreadful.  So instead of just reupholstering with the new fabrics, we had replaced all casings with calico which is much more durable than the tissue types that most store brought sofa provides. We had also tediously loosen the fibre fills that had balled together and also top up with more fills to give it a fuller look. The results an almost "new" sofa that can continues to serve you for many more years.  Notice how the backrest are drooping and the seat cushions, especially the one on the chaise and ottoman had shifted.  Torn tissue casi...
