Q: What textures and materials go with dark academia decor?

• <div><p>Part of the beauty of academia decor is that most textures and materials will feel right at home, provided they&rsquo;re dark. Some common textures include natural wood, dark metals like iron, velvet, and leather. Incorporating these into your dark academia decor will make them look right at home. Glass is another option in some cases, so fill in gaps in your decor with small glass jars, or really lean on the gothic roots of dark academia with stained glass.</p></div>

• <div><p>Yes, many custom builders offer finishing and upholstery options tailored to your style.</p></div>

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: What does it mean if a couch feels crusty after cleaning it?

• <div><p>If your usually super soft couch feels crusty and rough after cleaning, it could be that you haven&rsquo;t removed the cleaning product properly, you used too much, or you applied the wrong type. Always check the couch tags to select the right cleaning product, read application instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous corner. For fabrics such as microfiber, you can soften and fluff crusty fibers using a soft-bristled brush.</p></div>

"Wonderful! The workmanship was awesome, and they were super great guys! I was so happy with the way the couch turned out. I was sentimental about the old fabric, so they made a little window under the cushions for me to see how it used to look. I LOVE it!!"

As with any project, weighing the pros and cons of upholstery can help determine if that is the right choice for you. The ultimate question is whether it’s worth reupholstering instead of buying new furniture. Here are a few of the benefits and disadvantages of reupholstering a piece of furniture.

Pros:

Preserving a family heirloom
Maintaining high-quality furniture in good condition
Reinventing an old piece of furniture
Keeping a piece of furniture from going to a landfill

Cons:

Spending (possibly) more than to buy a new piece of furniture
Finding out the frame is beyond repair
Waiting for the reupholstery work to be done
