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: 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>

Q: How long does it take to reupholster a couch?

• <div><p>The time to reupholster a couch often ranges from one to three weeks, depending on the upholsterer's workload, fabric availability, and the complexity of your couch. This breaks down between 10 and 20 hours if you hire a professional, or 20 to 40 hours if you DIY. Custom features or repairs may extend the timeline. </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: Are there environmental benefits to choosing upholstery over replacement?

• <div><p>Upholstery reduces waste sent to landfills, limits resource consumption, and supports sustainable living practices, provided fabrics meet standards.</p></div>

It was great working with Dave. I requested a custom cutting board for a Fatherâ s Day gift along with a primitive wooden star. Love the quality of the work! I would use Dave again in the future (possibly thinking about building a pantry and resurfacing some old furniture).
