That being said, theres also the historical appeal that cant be denied.
Others might be more sentimentalfamily heirlooms, for exampleand fondness alone is simply worth the expense.
Dont feel guilty if, after running the numbers, you realize youre better off buying new.
Its easy to totally transform their look simply by changing the color and texture.
Even smaller pieces can have a larger-than-life impact with saturated fabrics, elegant flourishes, and unexpected patterns.
The beauty in reupholstery is that it can change your piece as much or as little as you like.
Moore says embellishments like piping, welt, fringe, and more can help achieve just that.
