Featured Reviews for Upholsterers in Australia

Rapt Upholstery
Upholsterers in Australia
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 March 2015
“Kate from Rapt has recovered an old slipper chair for me. The results are amazing! I couldn't be happier. Since getting to know how professional and unique Kate's work is, I have also purchased some of her other items - cushions, chairs and accessories. Kate is not an upholsterer - She is an artist!

Ebsworth Upholstery
Upholsterers in Australia
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 January 2018
“Well, how delighted I am to provide a review for Ebsworth Upholstery! We engaged Ebsworth Upholstery to refurbish the tired seat cushions in our second hand motor home. The work was done on time and everything was perfect; the fit, the ‘give’ in the cushions, the quality of the seams. We are very happy with the result and plan to be back for some other detailing inside our van. Thanks, Ebsworth Upholstery! PS before and after pics supplied.”
Linen House
Upholsterers in Australia
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 February 2015
“We bought a bunch of stuff off Linen House when we were putting the final touches on our holiday rental at Jan Juc. Their designs are lovely and its great to support a local business. The online store has lovely imagery, so there's no mistake with what you're getting and it all came two days later. You can tell these guys live and breathe their product.”
Sydney Upholstery
Upholsterers in Australia
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 September 2016
“Sydney Upholstery are the best! The work they did for me was exceptional. On two occasions I gave them nothing more than a frame and the chairs and sofa's all came back beautifully upholstered and so very comfortable. David's attention to detail really makes you think about what you want before the job is started and then he brings it all together. My pleasure to write this review and I hope it helps you decide to use Sydney Upholstery.”

Upcycling has become more and more popular lately, as the fashion for retro and rustic furniture has returned, but doing it yourself can cause all sorts of mishaps, so professional furniture restoration specialists should be called in to handle the job properly, especially if the piece of furniture you’re dealing with is particularly tricky. Upholsterers in Australia are your saving grace when it comes to refreshing your furniture or soft furnishings. It’s true that when redesigning or redecorating a home, it’s tempting to throw everything out and start again with all-new furniture and decor. But this requires a big budget and a ruthless attitude, which may not necessarily be needed with all redesigns, so instead, consider hiring Australia furniture upholsterers to reupholster, repair, restore or redesign some key pieces for you.

You’d be surprised at the magic furniture upholsterers can do to an old piece of soft furnishing; rips can be mended, worn fabric refreshed and extra elements added, at a lower price than buying brand new. You can ask for reupholstery or furniture restoration of the item, to match it as closely as possible to its former glory or ask for something completely different to match your redesign. Trims, piping and fringing can be added for additional flourishes, new fabric patterns chosen, extra padding added, chair backs or headboards buttoned and new sofa or duvet covers stitched.

If you’re not quite sure what to do with your old furniture, try taking it to furniture furniture restoration specialists in Australia to ask for their advice. Established upholstery services will be able to handle all sorts of fabric upholstery and reupholstery, including leather upholstery, and recommend the fabric that will work with your furniture and design theme. They will also be able to tell you about the durability of the fabric they will use and how to look after your re-upholstered item.
