Retro Furniture
The days of upgrading your sofa with every new interior design fads are well and truly over. It"s time to focus on buying quality classic pieces that won"t get tired by next season i.e. time to give your furniture a facelift without paying the price of an actual facelift!

Reupholstering furniture can be easy and fun. Firstly, find a suitable fabric. Next you need to ... decide if you will give it a bash yourself or get a professional upholsterer to do the job. If you are handy with a needle and thread and skilled at DIY, then doing it yourself could be a viable option. Check out some step by step video guides online for help. Either way, it will be cheaper than buying a brand new suite. There are lots of upholstery services out there so shop around for the best deal.

As an alternative to reupholstery, you could try simply replacing cushion and slip covers. Slip covers are ready-made covers that can just go over your furniture and don"t require any technical upholstery skills.
