Time Treasures Restoration & Upholstery
Upholsterers in Park Forest, 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!”
Furniture Werks

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 January 2014
“Lou and his staff are craftsmen, first and foremost. My family has used them to restore sentimental pieces of furniture, making them functional, beautiful and extending their useful life for generations to come. Recently, they completely refinished and reupholstered two matching 1930s vintage chairs for me. The workmanship is exceptional - a perfect match of stain and finish to my sample piece and the matching of the small scale plaid I chose is meticulously done. Lou gives an honest assessment of the value of pieces, and a truthful estimate in terms of price and timeline.”

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 Park Forest 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 Park Forest 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 Park Forest 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.
