What Is Upholstery?
Upholstery is basically the various set of materials – fabric, padding, webbing – that makes up the coverings of a chair, headboard, sofa or any other type of furniture. It is the physical art of stuffing seats with foam or cushions and covering it with a piece of fabric. This work needs attention to detail and can be done by professionals only. The fabric you choose makes a massive difference to the visual identity of any furniture (sofa, bed, or chair). While the interiors are not always visible, upholstery makes a difference to the comfort and ergonomics of the furniture it is used on.
Why Is It Important?
Well textured and woven fabrics create a long-lasting impression apart from being a delight to be seated on. It is important to choose a material (fabric or leather) based on your budget, taste and lifestyle. Upholstery is important to protect your furniture and add to the aesthetic appeal of it.
Upholstered Sofas
The sofa is an essential item in a living room as it is a place of traffic where family members and children will continuously visit the area. Choosing a durable fabric is essential, so wear and tear is minimal. You might love the look of velvet or leather but these fabrics are prone to damages plus the maintenance will be high.
