Time Treasures Restoration & Upholstery
Upholsterers in Glen Ellyn, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 April 2017
“PERFECTION! I worked with Donna and Arthur to choose a unique upholstery job on two old chairs. Their insight was invaluable! They designed the most incredible piece de resistance for my home - whenever people come over they go straight to these chairs and gush! The quality, professionalism, and style Time Treasures brings to the table is unparalleled. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Since these chairs, they've redone our dining room chairs, designed a new chair, sofas, etc.--they are INCREDIBLE!”

“Brilliant work. Far exceeded expectations. These folks understand Knoll and Bauhaus design. Their warehouse of classic furniture should be a museum. But it’s all for sale!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 October 2018
“Beautiful worksmanship. Julio recovered an antique mission rocker and a 40 year old sofa that now looks brand new. Everything was completed in a timely manner. Very reasonably priced. Far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.”
Victor's Upholstery
Upholsterers in Glen Ellyn, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 April 2019
“I had an old favorite chair I wanted to have reupholstered. After calling several local places with high rankings online and getting quotes that made it cost prohibitive, I followed the recommendation of an interior designer friend and took the chair to Olga at Victor's Upholstery (312.774.6609, 3105 W. Montrose Ave). I just got the chair back yesterday and could not be more pleased. Olga did a beautiful job, above and beyond my expectations. She's really skilled and showed such care with every detail. She made me a matching pillow and fitted arm covers, restrapped the seat where it had grown old and brittle, and repainted the base where it had been scuffed. I supplied the fabric and Olga worked her magic. The chair looks better than it did new--I was blown away when I saw the finished product. And the price was incredibly reasonable. Olga comes with my highest recommendation!”

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 Glen Ellyn 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 Glen Ellyn 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 Glen Ellyn 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.
