Reupholstered couches?
Has anyone ever done this? Or maybe a stupid question but it can be done right?
Re: Reupholstered couches?
It can be done.. but just a word of caution: it can get expensive. I had a wingback chair reupholstered earlier this year. The fabric cost me about $100 (which was on clearance) and the reupholstering was about $200, which was the cheapest I could find.
That is for one wingback chair.
I had a chair and a half done a couple of years ago and I think it was $180 and that was for new foam also. Plus fabric costs. But it was in a rural town. I had it done before we bought our house and our house is too small for it so my sister is babysitting it! When I was calling around in Auburn I think the norm was around $30 a yard, plus fabric cost.
A lot of people go to thrift stores and buy old furniture and have it reupholstered because it is made so much better than today's furniture. Like Katie said, the stuff she had reupholstered would prob cost around $3500 for just the couch because it is great furniture. I would personally like to spend less on my sofas because I wouldn't feel bad about replacing them in a few years as my taste changed. My parents bought new LR furniture a couple of years ago and now wish they had their old stuff recovered because it lasted for about 15 yrs and their new is already showing signs of wear.
