The Art of Recovering Old Furniture by Luz

Recovering old furniture is an art. It is better to recover old furniture than replacing it with new furniture. It can save you a lot of money. However, you must know how to recover your old furniture in the proper way. You can recover a pair of armchairs or sofa that is languishing in your store room with the help of a fun, vibrant, cotton print.

New Orleans is your perfect destination for recovering old furniture. Luz Custom Curtains & Upholstery, located in New Orleans specializes in upholstery and Reupholstery. You can easily upgrade your sofas and chairs by using appropriate fabrics, cushion or pillows.

If you have armchairs or sofa in your house that is old and antique, then consider recovering them rather than replacing them with contemporary furniture. The old armchairs generally take place in the store room as they don’t blend with the contemporary interior décor of the room. Many people have a couple of armchairs in their store room that are in good condition and are quite comfortable. The only defect that these chairs have is that they don’t match the new home décor of the room.

However, the good news is that the armchairs that look totally out of fashion can be recovered. A transitional décor style that bridges traditional and contemporary is needed to bring back the arm chairs to use. Therefore, a tricky décor style is needed which will allow you to use the chairs.

The armchairs generally have overtly traditional arm lines and ancient European-style fabric which looks passé. Keeping them in a modern room would look very odd. Therefore, you need to change the look of your old furniture with a little brainstorming and creativity.

If the quality and material of the furniture are good and durable, then it is sheer foolery to replace them. You can put a great, contemporary fabric on a traditional armchair or sofa to give it a brand new look. You can further add vibrant cushions or pillows to enhance the look of your recovered old furniture. It is not wise to throw away a high quality sofa for a sofa that looks cool, but is not even made of real wood. If style is your primary concern, then you should artistically recover your old furniture.

Furniture made of hardwood such as ash, oak or maple should not be thrown or replaced as they are durable. Change the fabric and add cushions or pillows to recover your old furniture.
