What is reupholstery?
Upholstery refers to the process of providing furniture, especially seats, with padding, springs, webbing, and fabric or leather covers. The primary goal of upholstery is to enhance the comfort and appearance of furniture.
Skilled personel, known as upholsterers, use various materials to pad and cover furniture, creating a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing piece. Upholstery can involve re-covering existing furniture or creating entirely new pieces, and it often includes tasks such as padding, webbing, stitching, and attaching fabric or leather covers to furniture frames.
The choice of fabric or material for upholstery plays a significant role in determining the overall look and feel of the furniture.
