Furniture upholstery is the process of covering furniture, such as chairs and sofas, with fabric, leather, or other materials. This not only enhances the appearance of the furniture but also provides comfort and protection. Upholstery can involve adding padding, springs, and other support structures to improve the overall quality and durability of the piece. The upholstery process typically includes removing the old covering, repairing any damage to the frame, and then applying new materials. Different styles and techniques can be used, allowing for customization to match personal tastes and interior design themes. Proper upholstery can significantly extend the life of furniture.
