Is Re-upholstery the Right Choice For You? With the holiday season in full swing, the nostalgia of family traditions and memories often surrounds us. There’s always something that can remind us of our loved ones, whether it’s Grandma’s recipe book, a photo album of our parents from their younger years, or maybe even an heirloom chair or sofa, that has been passed from generation to generation. If you’re lucky enough to have inherited one of these beautiful heirloomed pieces, you may at some point come across needing to give this piece a little TLC, whether it is to revive the bounce of the cushions, or re-upholster the fabric. Should you find yourself in this position, Blinds Blinds Blinds is happy to help! Our skilled workroom can revitalize your cherished pieces, and make the best suggestions to maintain the integrity of your furniture, while refreshing the parts that have seen ware and tare. Our showroom houses a large selection of upholstery fabrics, with performance fabrics being the most popular option as of late. Performance fabrics have great wearability, are easy to clean, and also provide protection from most liquids soaking into the fabric. Velvets and chenille fabrics are also amongst those most popular, providing a classic and timeless look with their luxurious look and soft feel. When choosing to re-upholster your treasured piece, budget should be a consideration, as not all furniture pieces are great candidates. When making this decision, look at the construction of the piece, and consider the materials used in the frame of the furniture. Was this piece built to last? Often times if pieces are made with synthetic, plastic, or press board materials, they are not a good choice to re-upholster. Furniture constructed with real wood makes it a durable and long-lasting piece. Contact us today to learn more about our re-upholstery services!
