“This small company provided a superb service and well exceeded expectations. They have made 2 sets of full length curtains for me and are now upholstering 2 chairs which they sourced for me. A home visit was made to measure up for the curtains and a further visit to fit them. They suggest "inverted pencil pleats" and the result is stunning. For the chairs, I was able to browse a fantastic selection of fabrics and bring home as many samples as I could carry. Jo and Mags are passionate about what they do and provide great advice on interior decor ideas. They encouraged me to think outside the box, with great results.I would never have chosen dark grey velvet for my chairs but I know it was an inspired choice they guided me to. Their prices are competitive and the advice is not charged for. What not to like? Soooo much better than John Lewis - and cheaper !”

“Sarah has completed a number of upholstery jobs for me over the past five years and I have no hesitation in recommending her most highly. She is great at advising on fabric choice and finish and has never missed a deadline, often going above and beyond to get a job done in a tight timeframe. Sarah's work is of the highest quality.”

“So delighted with the finish on a very large pouffe Sarah expertly Re upholstered. I appreciated her advice on the type of fabric and colour to suit the lounge. Due to the pandemic Sarah was extremely careful when there was any contact, she would also keep me informed of progress. The pouffe looks beautiful and the comments about the professional finish from visitors (who were in my bubble) reassured me I had made the right choice asking Sarah to undergo the work. You would not be disappointed with her service.”

Upholsterers in Cardiff are your saving grace when it comes to refreshing your furniture or soft furnishings. It’s true that when redesigning or redecorating a home, it’s tempting to throw everything out and start again with all new furniture and decor. But this requires a big budget and a ruthless attitude, which may not necessarily be needed with all redesigns, so instead, consider hiring Cardiff furniture upholsterers to reupholster, repair, restore or redesign some key pieces for you.

Why should I hire Cardiff upholsterers?

You’d be surprised at the magic furniture upholsterers can do to an old piece of soft furnishing; rips can be mended, worn fabric refreshed and extra elements added, and all probably at a lower price than buying a brand new piece. You can ask for reupholstery or furniture restoration of the item, to match it as closely as possible to its former glory or ask for something completely different to match your redesign. Trims, piping and fringing can be added for additional flourishes, new fabric patterns chosen, extra padding added, chair backs or headboards buttoned and new sofa or duvet covers stitched.

If you’re not quite sure what to do with your old furniture, try taking it to Cardiff furniture upholsterers and furniture restoration specialists to ask for their advice. Established upholstery services will be able to handle all sorts of fabric upholstery and reupholstery, including leather upholstery, and recommend the fabric that will work with your furniture and design theme. They will also be able to tell you about the durability of the fabric they will use and how to look after your re-upholstered item.

Some upholstery projects may be DIY-friendly, such as making cushion covers or covering a pouffe or stool with new fabric. If you’re itching to get crafty, you can search for Cardiff fabric suppliers, as well as furniture upholsterers, on Houzz, to source fabrics and fabric decorating accessories. However, try to know your limits – leather upholsterers will be highly skilled and experienced at upholstering your sofa or headboard, but attempting to upholster a tricky fabric onto a difficult shape yourself could lead to a design disaster. Although you can always call on the experts to help with some reupholstery if it does go wrong…

Why would I need a furniture restoration specialist rather than an upholsterer?

Upholsterers deal predominantly with soft furnishings and furniture, such as sofas, padded chairs and padded headboards. For all other pieces of furniture that could be repaired or restored, there are Cardiff furniture restoration specialists to help you. They can help you upcycle that outdated sideboard into something modern and stylish, or repair your vintage dresser for you. You may find that lots of upholsterers offer furniture restoration and furniture repairers offer upholstery services, too, but always double check the exact services they offer and if they can help you with your furniture before hiring them. Upcycling furniture saves money and waste, and is ever popular in vintage or industrial styled homes, so consider upcycling any old furniture you find, with the help or advice or a furniture restoration specialist, if you want to add a bit of recycled charm to your home.

It’s always a good idea, when renovating, to get the various professionals you hire to discuss plans with each other for a more seamless redesign. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of upholsterers: Interior Designers, Furniture & Home Accessories.

Questions to ask prospective Cardiff upholsterers or furniture restoration specialists:

How long have you been a furniture upholsterer or restoring furniture?
What types of furniture do you restore or upholster?
Can you offer reupholstery?
