Sofa Reupholstered!

Image
 Time and again we came across sofas that had seen much better days and being discarded by the owner. But most time, its just cosmetics damage. Frames and structures are still solid. There's no reason to just write it off as trash.  With some TLC from our skilled upholsterer, it can be restored to its former glory and be of good use for several more years.  Here's a good example of one that we recently have the honour to reupholster. It was a 2 piece leather sectional that had served the family well.  To be precise, for 13 years. Their children practically grew up on this sofa.. scratched marks, spills and shifted foams... no longer a pleasing sight to look at. it was left out at the porch while a brand new purchase took it place.  But the owner felt that despite that, it can be restored, reupholstered and put to use again as a second sofa in the house.  Here's the transformation...  The leather had peeled, exposing the fibre ply underneath.  The ...

CHOOSING A SUITABLE FABRICS FOR YOUR SOFA

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...
