If you wish to completely revamp the look and feel of your house without spending too much on buying new furniture, then upholstery is your answer. There are so many different upholstery fabrics in the market to choose from that you can get almost any sort of ambiance in your house by just selecting the right kind of upholstery. Upholstery can significantly influence the functioning of your products; for example, a natural fabric would provide comfort and warmth, and a leather upholstery would help keep your products safe from heavy traffic and provide ease of cleaning.

What is Upholstery?

In simple words, upholstery is the physical act of covering your furniture frame with cushions, webbing, padding, leather textile, or fabric covering. The idea of upholstery originated in the middle ages and gained immense popularity during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Upholstery fabric is extremely niche and needs to be done by professionals. The material can be made from any thread or yarn that is knitted or woven into a textile. Fibers like linen, cotton, polyester, hemp, wool, nylon, polypropylene, rayon, and acrylic are strung on looms and then knitted or woven into the upholstery fabric. You can have either a single yarn or combine multiple threads to knit or weave your upholstery fabric.

The woven upholstery fabric is then backed with glue, latex, or other textiles to provide stability to the material. This process makes the fabric resistant to abrasion in the long run and makes it more durable.

Key Benefits of Upholstery Fabric

From environmental benefits to comfort to a variety of choices of fabric, upholstery comes with a plethora of benefits.

  • Enhances longevity of home furniture

Your furniture like sofas and armchairs are an investment, and you tend to spend a lot of money on them since they are used frequently, and you want them to be good-looking. For the same reason, you do not want them to get ruined by heavy traffic, scratches, etc. Upholstery protects your furniture and makes them last much longer.

  • Provides Comfort

The material of the textile you choose for upholstery determines how comfortable your furniture is. Soft and warm fabric offers much more relaxation and calm than furniture without upholstery. 

  • It gives you many color and pattern choices.

The unlimited texture choice of upholstery in terms of colors and designs makes it a favorite with homeowners. Whatever be your sensibilities, you will always find the right color and pattern to suit the requirements, preferences, and decor of your house.

  • It makes your furniture child and pet-proof

With kids and pets, there are bound to be breakages, rips, and stains. If you do not want your furniture to be affected by all these damages, then upholstering will surely provide an excellent level of protection.

  • Offers cost-effective and cheap solutions

For changing your house decor, it is much cheaper to change upholstery than buy new furniture. In buying new furniture, the cost is doubled since you have to get the furniture delivered to your doorstep as well as get rid of your old furniture. 

  • Reduces global warming impact

If you did not know, we would like to mention here that throwing away your furniture adds a lot to planet warming. Discarded furniture lands up at two places; either an incinerator or landfill. If it is put in an incinerator, it releases greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, which is hazardous for the planet and also the health of all living beings.
