Furniture upholstery is the process of covering furniture, such as chairs and sofas, with fabric or leather. This not only enhances the appearance of the furniture but also provides comfort and protection. Upholstery can involve various materials, including foam, batting, and springs, which contribute to the overall feel and durability of the piece. The upholstery process typically includes removing old fabric, repairing any damage, and applying new materials. Different styles and techniques can be used, allowing for customization to match personal tastes or interior design themes. Proper upholstery can extend the life of furniture and improve its aesthetic appeal.
