Q: Can I reupholster my own furniture?

• <div><p>Doing your own upholstery work is possible, but it&rsquo;s typically a better idea to leave the work to professionals. Without experience and the proper tools, it&rsquo;s difficult to get a professionally finished appearance for your furniture, and many DIYers end up spending money on tools and materials only to hire a professional when they can&rsquo;t get the fabric to look right. If you have reupholstery experience, feel free to give it a shot. However, if you&rsquo;re not confident in your skill level or you&rsquo;re working with antiques, it&rsquo;s worth the money to hire a pro.</p></div>

Q: Can you reupholster over old material?

• <div><p>It is possible to reupholster directly over old material in some cases, and it can save you a bit of money. If you are going to go this route, make sure you use a darker color than you had previously. Otherwise, you might see the old fabric beneath the new material. You should also keep in mind that reupholstering over old material is only possible with certain materials. For example, reupholstering over leather usually isn&rsquo;t possible. You can ask your professional to see if this is an option for your piece.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to buy new furniture or reupholster?

• <div><p>It <i>can</i> be cheaper to reupholster a chair or other piece of furniture than to buy a new one, depending on how much it costs to replace. If the chair or couch originally cost less than $300, then reupholstery may not be the cheapest option. However, if the chair is expensive, vintage, or discontinued, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-reupholstery.htm">reupholstery</a> can be the more affordable option. This is especially true if the piece of furniture is out-of-production or holds sentimental value.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of upholstering furniture instead of replacing it?

• <div><p>Upholstering allows personalization, extends furniture life, conserves resources, refreshes decor, and often costs less than buying new pieces.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to wrap furniture?

• <div><p>To safeguard your furniture and upholstered items, it's best to use plastic wrap or specially-made plastic sofa covers. However, you should avoid wrapping wooden furniture in plastic if you plan on storing it, as plastic can trap moisture and warp the wood, plus it may damage certain finishes. In either case, old blankets or moving blankets make excellent alternatives. For protecting delicate glass table tops and mirrors, bubble wrap is always a reliable choice.</p></div>
