Should I reupholster my furniture or replace it?

I'm trying to decide whether to reupholster my old sofa or just buy a new one. What do you recommend?

It depends on several factors like the condition of the sofa, your budget, and your style preferences. Can you tell me more about your sofa?

It's a bit worn out but still structurally sound. I love the design, but the fabric is outdated.

If the structure is good and you love the design, reupholstering could be a great option! It can give your sofa a fresh look without the cost of a new one.

What are the costs involved in reupholstering compared to buying new?

Reupholstering typically costs between 50% to 75% of the price of a new sofa, depending on the fabric and labor. Buying new can be more expensive, but it also depends on the quality.

Are there any downsides to reupholstering?

Yes, reupholstering can take time, and you might not get the same warranty as a new piece. Additionally, if the frame is weak, it might not be worth the investment.
