You may want to leave your sofa the way it is for as long as you can, but when is it time to give it a face lift?

TYPE:

Your sofa could be an antique piece of furniture or one that carries a sentimental value. This type of sofa is hard to replace as it has unique craftsmanship and features that modern furniture lacks. Many of such sofas come with either plain or elaborately carved frames made of durable wood which is not only valuable but also irreplaceable.

Quality:

The quality of your sofa is another factor that deserves consideration. If you have splurged on your sofa but need to cover an unmovable stain, it is logical to get it upholstered instead of replacing it with a new one. Usually, older furniture is considered high quality as it has heavy hardwood frames, high density foam, horsehair or cotton padding and eight-way, hand-tied coil springs that enhance its durability and increase its value. On the other hand, newer furniture of good quality contains a built-in mechanism made of hardwood and has solid features like maple framework and eight-way hand-tied springs.

Comfort level and stability:

The comfort level depends on the softness or springiness of sofa seat, its height, its material, the width of the seat, the height of the headrest and its stability. If you feel safe and enjoy sitting on your sofa all these while, upholstering it may seem more sensible than replacing it if the fabric or leather is stained or discolored due to age. Feeling comfortable also translates to accepting your sofa as a distinctive part of the room.

Cost:

As a general rule of thumb, reupholstering a piece of furniture costs about 50-65% less than purchasing a brand new designer one. However, the percentage depends on the type of fabric to be replaced and any structural repairs needed to be performed by an upholsterer.

Of course, if your sofa is from IKEA, COURTS or mass produced, it may not make much sense to get it upholstery as it may cost you more than buying a new furniture from them. Perform comparison shopping by asking for quotes to gauge the cost of upholstering in order to determine whether upholstering is a better option.

Why choose reupholstery?

                         The first step in determining re-upholstery as an option is to judge the quality of your piece. Upholstered furniture pieces are like cars and electronics: the quality is hidden inside. Old furniture may be better quality in materials and construction than what you could get for the same cost in a new piece of furniture

                 An easy way to determine quality is to gauge whether the old sofa or chair seems to be sturdy and well-constructed while only the fabric is worn. Second, if you like the style and size of what you have, you already know what you are getting. More importantly, you know whether your old piece is comfortable. It is not always easy to determine this from a few minutes in a showroom.

Re-Upholstery Process

Re-upholstery involves more than replacing the fabric. The frame, springs, and padding are all inspected and re-glued, repaired, or replaced as necessary.

Cost

The cost of re-upholstery will generally be more expensive than cheaply made furniture but less expensive than most high end furniture. If your sofa cost less than SGD $2000, it may not make much sense to consider re-upholstery. Nevertheless, it is best to talk to few local re-upholstering businesses to estimate the range of cost.

 Of course, you can also consider what we can offer. Text us for an appointment at 90305057 or email: info(@)centrepiece.com.sg

You must have heard that we cant be happy all the time, so how much do you think we should try to be happy when we are not?  How did you decide when we should stop trying to be happy?

When was the last time you felt like life is a piece of dump?

Baked-Potato-Bean-Bag-bed-sofa0

That you rather sleep and never wake up? Did you start telling yourself that we do not deserve to be happy as it is not normal to be happy all the time?

But then, you felt trapped. Not unhappy.

Resting is no longer comfortable.

What is itself is no longer natural. You may feel strangely strange being alive and yet feeling so odd.

But don’t stop, have courage and fight for your happiness no matter what others say. Your inner voice must learn to heal and console ourselves like a child.

Until you feel comfortable and happy to be just yourself. Don’t stop trying to be happy.

Don’t give up on bringing happiness to yourself and to others who may feel like yourself now. So reach out to your friends and family and tell them that they deserve happiness and don’t stop trying to be happy.

You deserve to  be happy and we hope we will one day be part of your journey of happiness.
