The Best Upholstery Fabrics for Homes with Kids and Pets
“Growing up, my brother and I weren’t allowed in the living room; it was for company only,” says Mitchell. Today, though, there are plenty of upholstery materials that match good looks with durability. “For children and pets—and maybe red-wine lovers—we like the easy care of a faux suede or the durability of a Sunbrella indoor-outdoor fabric,” he says. “We’re also big fans of slipcovered upholstery. And distressed leather is great—you don’t have to worry about the occasional scuff or scratch.” If you have a busy household, stay away from delicate or textured options, like silk, which could pull and aren’t as forgiving when it comes to stains.

Why Should I Re upholster my Old Furniture ?

 I get asked that question by half the people I give estimates to.

Well I can buy a new sofa  for $ 700 or a new chair for $450 , why should  I pay to recover an old sofa my parents gave me , that they only paid $ 800 for in 1985? 

Here is why , today's furniture is made to be throwed away in a couple of years. Why ? Because the furniture stores want to sell you new furniture every few years so they can continue to make money.

Nothing today is made as well as it was 20 plus years ago. Back then furniture  was built to last for decades  not months . Old sofas  and chairs were made  from real wood not plywood . They had steel springs do elastic webbing and foam cushions that you could sit on for years  and they would hold they shape.

Re purpose that "old sofa " and keep it out of the landfill by reupholstering it .
