Re-upholster for Low Cost Decorating

Re-upholster for Low Cost Decorating: It’s more than Just Saving Money

With everyone these days talking about the problems in the economy, and the need for everyone to save money, here is one low cost decorating idea that makes sense!

Although you may think that re-upholstering their furniture is only done to save more money, in reality, it can offer more advantages than just cutting expenses. However, cutting expenses can be a great thing too!

Some people argue that re-upholstering is expensive; even more so than buying new furniture. The debate continues over whether it is more economical to re-upholster furniture or buy new.

What many people fail to realize is that re-upholstered furniture is often preferred for a number of reasons other than saving money. Statistics show that 8 out of 10 people would rather re-upholster their furniture and their main reason is not even about money.

Do you want to know why more and more people are considering re-upholstering than buying new furnishings? Here’s why:

  1. To preserve the quality of the furniture
    Survey shows that nearly 85% of the items being re-upholstered have damage on the outer surface only. This means that most of the damages are minor; padding that is sticking out or damage to the upholstery. If the damage is not to the framework itself, it is an indication that the framework is probably still in good condition and it would be better to preserve it and have it re-upholstered than to purchase new furniture.
  2. For remembrance
    Nearly 75% of the people who had their furniture re-upholstered contend that they wanted to preserve their memories of the furniture; perhaps it was the first furniture acquired after their marriage or it has been handed down from generation to generation.
    If the fabric of their furniture is worn out, give it a sparkle and a new life by re-upholster it because some things are worth preserving!
  3. For adaptability of desired patterns
    One of the best things about re-upholstering is that people can choose a quality material and designs that they prefer for their furniture. They can have the look that they have always wanted without compromising the price.
    Re-upholstering for low cost decorating cannot be underrated because it offers more advantages than just monetary saving.
