Sofa with Storage


Been a while since I last post anything... same old stale excuses... busy :(
Well that's what my upholsterer told me when I commissioned them to do my own sofa.
Gave them the design last September and only got this delivered to my house Dec. And that is because I definitely need to have it for my Christmas party and I threatened to "fire" everyone if I don't get it :)
But don't worry if you want to get one done for you. Paying customer gets it within 3 weeks.. a month latest ;p

Drawers, drawers, drawers...everyone can use some extra storage space!

Getting away from the minimalist low back to this much comfortable high back per my mum's request

Split back for a sleek look. Great feature to show off if sofa is not placed against the wall.

CHOOSING A SUITABLE FABRICS FOR YOUR SOFA

Choosing a fabric for the sofa is a little more taxing than choosing a new dress at the shop.   You are not able to try it out in the fitting room. With so many available choices these days, it can be pretty overwhelming; especially when u are only given some sample swatches to look at.   So I hope these tips will help “ease the pains”and make your selection a breeze..   100% Natural fibres  or Synthetic Fabrics With our hot and humid weather here in Singapore, cotton definitely provides a cool respite and is one of our more popular choice here.  However, cotton being cotton is also very absorbent and are prone to creases and shrinkage.  If you are using it for a removable covers and plan on washing it often, I will advise making it a size bigger to allows shrinkage. Being absorbent also means absorbing all stains quickly!  So preferably choose one that is treated with some kind of stain protector. Linen and silk are more delicate and I will not recommend it for sofa with heavy use. Sy

Traditional Sofa Reupholstered, More Trees Saved!

We had recently been given the opportunity to reupholster this beautifully ornate sofa sets, revived it, giving it a new lease of life.  The seats cushions are the first to go. According to the owner, the original seat cushions had a slightly dome shape. It was worn and the replacements he got doesn't fit the configurations. It was flat. 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 enough for everyday u

Sofa Reupholstered!

 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 foam around the frames, esp
