Well, you don’t have to!
Upholstery is a service that can give your tattered looking furniture a brand new makeover! Your soft toys, chairs and pillows will thank you later!
What Is an Upholstery Company?
Upholstering is the art and science of enhancing a furniture’s aesthetics and durability through with paddings, springs, webbings, fabrics and leathers.
Reupholstering is the service to that upholstery companies provide to restore worn and faded furniture to look as good, if not better, as new. It’s basically to give the upholstering service again.
This of it as MTV’s Pimp My Ride, furniture edition!
The (Re)Upholstery Scene in Singapore
Most customers of upholstery companies are homeowners who wish to reignite the spark through their used furniture. Some service providers have also extended their scope to reupholster cars and heavy vehicle cushions. Service businesses, such as restaurants and beauty salons, have also sought to reupholster their seats to provide a more comforting experience to their clients.
Upholstery companies may also have their own in-house furniture designers and carpenters. They will remodel your furniture with a brand new look.
To enhance the durability of the upholstery, some companies also provide cleaning services for the upholstery. This is also vital to eliminate germs and bacteria, which poses a threat to our health.
Before You Head to Your Upholsterer…
Remember that communication is vital. To properly communicate with your upholsterer, you have to provide the specification of the furniture you wish to upholstery.
Additionally, they need to have a visual idea of what they’re working with. Snap some photographs, or even better, take the cushion to them. Your upholsterer requires these details so that they are in a better position to advise you on the type and amount of fabric needed to achieve your desired outcome.

Review | “I used their service when my mum moved to my house to stay with me. For my mum’s old dining chairs (previously on fabric), we did the leather reupholstery to give it a new lease of life.
I am very happy with Jia Xing’s craftsmanship. The price is very economical and the service is also top notch. Because I don’t have a lorry or van to transport the 6 chairs, they even provided pickup and delivery service. I highly recommend anyone to give them a call first to enquire about the price before throwing your old chairs away!” |

Review 1 | “We love the new look of our old wooden sofa. I didn’t see many wooden sofa in the review photos and was worried if Joo Chiat Sofa does upholstery for wooden sofa. Well, they do and do it very well!
At the office, we saw a print that we liked, but found it too festive. Max is very experienced and suggested we theme it with maroon base. The effect is so much nicer than having the whole floral set. The workmanship is very good too, and the team who sewed it did a special opening to make it easier to take out the odd shape inner. That’s really service with a heart! We chose the hardest inner cushion to make it friendly for elderly with back problem. My mother in law loves it. Thank you Max and team!” |
Review 2 | “We upholstered my home 20 years old sofa and it came out much better than the original. After a 2 years we upholstered the reclining chair and leg rest with Original Italian leather and it was so professionally done it is now looking great. Thank YOU Max.” |

Benefits of (Re)Upholstery Services
You Can Customise Your Furniture to Your Liking
If you’re an aesthetic-nazi (Relax, it’s a good thing!), furniture on your catalogue might have a difficult time pleasing you.
Instead, why not purchase a piece of simple-looking furniture and layer it with your ideal material and design. Several upholstering services offer an abundance of patterns, as well as fabrics and leather qualities for you to choose from.
You Can Turn a Worn-Out Furniture into a Classy Vintage Piece!
Whether you want to revive a nostalgic moment or wish to resurrect a once gorgeous chair, reupholstering them can make your furniture look as fresh as a display on a retail store.
A reupholstered piece can even be monetarily valuable. People are always looking out for classic antique furniture for their homes.
Provide Extra Level of Comfort and Safety
If your bed or sofa seat no longer offers the comfort it once provided, it’s time to reupholster it! More than the paddings, the fabric you sit or lie on can make a difference in your comfort level.
A comfortable piece of furniture not only benefits you but your guests as well. A reupholstered bed can facilitate a better night’s rest for a more productive day.
The reupholstering professionals can also spot check on potential faults in your furniture that will jeopardise your safety while using it. He/she may recommend installing new materials, such as new frames and springs. This is to ensure maximum functionality and reduce the possibility of hazards from happening.
It’s the Greener Option to Purchasing New Furniture
Reupholstering your furniture can preserve its longevity. You won’t have to discard any furniture, thus reducing your carbon footprint.
Cost of Reupholstering
A few factors will affect the cost of reupholstery, from the type of furniture and materials needed, to the number of furniture that requires reupholstering. According to HomeAdvisor, the average price of reupholstering a piece of furniture is $670.
The reupholstering of a simple chair can be as low as $50, while a reupholstering of leather furniture could fetch as high as $4,000. The following table, taken from HomeAdvisor, provides an estimated cost of reupholstering various types of furniture.
Couch | $600-$4,000 |
Chair | $50-$2,000 |
Outdoor Cushions | $50-$500 |
Ottoman | $300-$700 |
Chaise Lounge | $900-$1,500 |
Leather | $100-$4,000 |
Restaurant Booths | $100-$500 |
Headboards | $200-$2,000 |
Factors to Consider When Reupholstering Your Furniture
Fabric Quality
There are many kinds of fabric available in the realm of upholstery. Before choosing them, you have to do some mix and match between the material and the furniture.
If it’s for sitting, consider microfiber for its durability. It’s easy to clean, is claw, stain and spill-resistant.
If you want to add a luxe factor to your home, try wool, silk or velvet.
If it’s for a pillowcase, linen will sustain your good night’s rest in the humid Singaporean weather.
For furniture that is continuously under sunlight, a fade-resistant fabric, such as Sunbrella or Phifer is essential to prevent discolouration.
Colour
Now that you’ve settled on the quality and texture, let’s move onto something that would please your visual senses.
Choosing the right colour is can significantly impact the mood of everyone at home. While there are no right or wrong colours, you have to figure out what kind of environment you’d like to create.
If it’s for a chair or stool in the kitchen, why not consider appetite-inducing orange, red or yellow?
If it’s for the bedroom, why not variants of blue, such as turquoise, for a good night’s sleep?
On a practical note, darker colours can conceal dirt better than lighter ones.
Patterns
Like colours, what’s on the fabric will also affect us emotionally. Choose a pattern that will accentuate the symmetry of your furniture’s design.
Damask patterns go well with chairs.
Big, floral patterns go well with beds and sofas. Having floral patterns on bigger furniture can prevent the design from being cut off at the edge, which is a cardinal sin in furniture patterning.
Look around your room. Is it cluttered or spacious? If it’s the former, have a monochromatic colour over the fabric and leave out the patterns. Even if you insist on having a design on it, go minimalist. Small or no patterns in a cluttered room are easier on the eyes. If your room is more spacious, you can be bolder with your patterns.
