Is it possible to give the old soft furniture a second life? And how! We have prepared several options for how to do it yourself.
1 Disorder
If your upholstered furniture looks frankly unprepacently and requires serious change, go to the question thoroughly and deal with folding.
Of course, if the old sofa cost you in a round sum, and for his blunders you chose a very expensive material, it makes sense to entrust this business to professionals. If the priority task is to save and give the second life of the existing upholstered furniture, it is possible to rebuild it yourself.
We offer a brief step-by-step instruction:
- Disassemble furniture (including dismantle armrests and seats).
- Remove the old and worn upholstery of your chair or sofa. Try to act neatly: according to the available parts of the upholstery you can create ate pattern and carve out new parts for furniture drying.
- Get rid of the old foam rubber (or other filler).
- Check out the furniture springs and frame: make sure they are in an acceptable state, tighten the screws, strengthen the joints of the parts
- Choose a material for a new upholstery, prepare parts, cuttings for oldhemes.
- Prepare a new filler of dense foam rubber (or other material). Uniformly cover the foam foam parts with syntheps (or analog), securely securing it.
- Cover all the necessary details of your upholstered furniture selected for upholstery textiles (skin, leather limit).
- Require a new upholstery with strong threads, metal brackets, furniture stapler (with a maximum distance of 4 cm). Try to pull the material evenly and fix the most accurately, so as not to redo it.
- Collect the design by returning all the details, parts of the mechanism, legs, armrests. Ready!
2 new case
For those who are not confident in their abilities and is not ready to approach the issue of the chair or sofa, there is a much more simplified version. Get or witch a new case: it is much easier, faster and not so hard work, as folding, and the result will be quite worthy.
If you purchased upholstered furniture from one of the major popular manufacturers, you can buy or make to order a new case ibid. Another option is to contact the finished universal tension covers. Or to the services of professional tailors. Or even remove the measurements and sew the desired cover on their own.
3 bedspreads
If the previous option seems too complicated to you, there is a way much easier. The bedspread, selected by approximately the size of the sofa or chairs, reliably hides the old upholstery and transform your upholstered furniture.
4 decorative textiles
Well, if you do not have any special claims to the state of the sufficient upholstery, but the soul desperately asks for updates and change, helps decorative textiles: it can be plaid, pillows, natural and artificial mini-skins.
A total of a pair of small (and, moreover, relatively inexpensive) accessories - and your old sofa or chair will immediately transform and "will play."
