Reupholstering furniture can offer several benefits over buying new. Older furniture is often of higher quality with more durable frames. Reupholstering allows you to maintain this quality while updating the look. Depending on the furniture and fabric, reupholstering can be more cost-effective than buying new, especially for high-quality or antique pieces. Reupholstering allows you to choose your own fabrics and designs, offering a level of customization that buying new can’t always provide.
