Enhancing Your Furniture with a Restyle
When reupholstering a piece, I often suggest a little restyle to breathe new life into the furniture. If you love the size and how it fits in your room, why not consider making a few adjustments? For example, you might want to make fat arms narrower or add some extra padding to slim arms to give them a fuller, more rounded appearance. We also offer modifications like transforming a short back into a high back or even adding a camelback for a more classic look. These small changes can have a big impact on the overall feel of the piece.
The Impact of Skirts and Legs
Another area to consider when restyling your furniture is the skirt and legs. Adding or removing a skirt can completely change the look of a sofa or chair. If you’re opting for a more modern look, removing the skirt and exposing the legs can create a cleaner, sleeker profile. Conversely, adding a skirt can add a touch of elegance and formality to the piece. Sometimes, a change in the legs is necessary; for example, upgrading short legs from 2″ to 4″ can make a significant difference in the furniture’s stance and accessibility. This change not only enhances the aesthetic but also improves functionality.
Comfort and Accessibility for Aging Furniture
As furniture ages, it may no longer be as comfortable or easy to use as it once was. Aging is not for sissies, and if your beloved piece needs a little help to make it more comfortable, we can assist by adding taller legs. This modification makes it easier to get in and out of the furniture, preventing the frustration of feeling stuck in a low seat. By making these adjustments, we ensure that your furniture remains both beautiful and functional as the years go by.
The Value of Older Furniture
Older furniture is often made with superior craftsmanship and materials compared to many modern pieces. This quality is why it’s worth preserving rather than discarding. Instead of throwing away a well-made piece, consider recycling and reupholstering it. By doing so, you can enjoy your furniture for many more years. A good piece of furniture can be given new life over and over again, becoming a timeless addition to your home.
