As cooler temps creep in, you might find yourself cranking the thermostat or snuggling up by the fireplace with a cup of cocoa. We crave coziness this time of year, and almost no fabric says cozy quite like velvet. Plus, velvet adds a certain air of sophistication and luxury, which is something we could all use a little bit of right now.

Wingback chairs are a favorite reupholstery project piece for many do it yourselfers. They have a classic, yet versatile design, and when they are reupholstered, they can take on a completely different look that can’t be found in a store.
Buying new furniture is an exciting, albeit expensive, step. You get to search for and purchase something that fits your style exactly, and totally refreshes a room. But what about your current furniture? Are you replacing those pieces because they are ancient and falling apart, or do they just not suit your home anymore?
If you just got some new furniture, why on earth would you ever want to reupholster it right away? For the unique look, of course!
Reupholstery can breathe new life into an old, well-loved piece of furniture at a fraction of the cost of buying brand new. It’s also the best way to completely personalize your furniture and select the fabrics that work in your home. You can choose the exact colors and textures for your design, and find coordinating fabrics that work perfectly together. It doesn’t have to be challenging or expensive, either.
Most times, our existing furniture or pieces we locate at a yard sale may be just as great as a new piece that has a new cover. A cover bought from a store may appear sloppy or out of place, yet reupholstering a piece may make it appear like new.
We all love our furniture. Each piece is bought out of hard labor and love, and it took quite a sum of money to invest in the right pieces. We handpick our furniture, choosing different styles and designs to incorporate each item into our characteristic home. But is it time to reupholster furniture?
