The Benefits of Opting to Reupholster Dining Chairs

Reupholstering dining chairs provides a number of benefits over buying new chairs:

You don’t have to say goodbye to old favourites: If your dining chairs are to the point that they need reupholstering you must have enjoyed them quite a bit. By reupholstering them you can keep them in your service for many years to come.

You can accomplish a cost-effective remodel of your kitchen: By adopting a slightly different look to the reupholstered chairs you can affect a modest remodel of the kitchen. Simply change the window dressings, wallpaper or another minor component or two and it’s like having a brand new kitchen.

You have a wealth of aesthetic options: When you purchase new dining chairs you are limited in your choice of materials, colours and patterns. When you opt to reupholster dining chairs you have scores of fabrics and styles to choose from, including a style that is unique to your home.

Speaking of Materials…

Maybe the best aspect of having your dining chairs reupholstered is that you can select the exact look and feel you have always wanted. You have a number of different upholstery materials to choose from, both natural and synthetic, and within each category of material countless colour, texture and pattern options.

Natural Upholstery Materials

Leather: Leather is a popular choice for furniture that receives a lot of traffic, like dining chairs. It’s as beautiful as it is durable and it endows the dining area with a timeless quality.
Wool: On its own wool is known for its ability to resist wrinkling and fading. When blended with synthetic fabrics it becomes quite resistant to soiling and easy to clean and maintain.
Cotton: If you are to reupholster dining chairs with cotton you will need to choose a sturdy weave. Damask and heavy-duty canvas duck are common choices.
Linen: There is no doubt that linen upholstery can be very beautiful and comfortable. However, like linen shirts, linen upholstery will wrinkle easily and is hard to keep clean.

Synthetic Upholstery Materials

Vinyl: Vinyl is a popular alternative to leather due to its visual similarities and its affordability.
Acrylic: Acrylic is a type of imitation wool and is capable of being quite durable.
Nylon: If durability and affordability are your primary concerns, consider nylon.

The Dangers of DIY Upholstery

The sheer number of DIY TV shows, YouTube videos and magazine articles can make it seem like you are wasting your money if you do not do everything yourself. This notion has led many people to take on reupholstery projects themselves and we often see the results in our workshop when customers bring their unsuccessful efforts in to be fixed.

The desire to learn new crafts is an admirable one and there are some things that lend themselves to the DIY impulse just fine. Furniture upholstery is not one of them. There are myriad considerations in play when attempting to recover dining chairs and failing to account properly for just one of them can upend the project and require expensive repairs. Therefore, it is always best to leave reupholstery projects to those who have spent many years perfecting their craft.

Jerome’s team took on a very challenging task of reupholstering an Ottoman for me with my own fabric. They took so much care, and there was such great attention to detail. I am so pleased with the end result, it is beyond my wildest expectation. I’m really grateful to him and his team for the love and time put into it and for their ongoing communication wrt the process. Would 100% use them again and recommend to anyone looking for a job well done. Thank you so much. This piece will be held onto forever.

Jerome and his team has just completed the recovering of eight large leather dining chairs and a full set of fabric outdoor furniture (chaise, sofas and 10 dining chairs). These had all been owned and used for many years and we had feared they would require replacing. Not so! Jerome collected sad looking furniture and delivered back what looks like brand new replacements. Our furniture has been given a new lease of life and we couldn’t recommend Jerome Shorter Furniture enough. Not only is the work first class but the service and communication was exceptional. Thank you Jerome.

I can only describe the reupholster job of my large 3 seater and two chaise lounges handled by Jerome and his team as top class! It was an excellent re-enacting of my original luxury furniture, looked exactly the same! Their care and precision is commendable...I highly recommend them.

We have ordered a replacement leather cushion from Jerome and are very pleased with the quality and attention to detail. Would definitely recommend their service.

We wanted to recycle some modern leather dining chairs rather than replace them but we couldn't find the right contact who we trusted to do what we needed - we found Jerome and he immediately understood what we wanted and gave us some great advice and ideas. We are now extremely pleased to have 8 re-covered chairs which look amazing and so much better quality and value than buying new! The quality of the work is superb and we can't recommend Jerome and his team highly enough. We will be using them time and again to recycle/refresh other items which we already love (sofas, chaise longue, etc).

Having had two chairs re-rushed and one chair re-upholstered, we have no hesitation in recommending Jerome Shorter for both quality of workmanship and for excellent service.

Thanks to Jerome and his team, our sofa and chairs have been transformed, as has our whole sitting room. The work is of the highest standard and Jerome was a pleasure to work with. I will certainly recommend Jerome Shorter Furniture to my friends and family.

I had three pieces(a sofa and two wing chairs) to re-upholster which had never been in the same room together before. Mr. Shorter took pictures of the pieces and the carpet they had to coordinate with and gave me some design ideas. This did not work. He recommended stores where I could obtain swatches of fabric. After numerous attempts on my own Mr Shorter came again to my apartment and selected fabrics I had not thought to combine. A perfect choice and I could not be happier with the result-a fresh, colourful, contemporary design for the entire room. Excellent reupholstering for old furniture. I highly recommend Mr. Shorter to anyone who wishes to add new life to one or more pieces.

Our Collection

Jerome’s service is excellent. My company needed 3 items reupholstered and Jerome provided a quote with plenty of relevant fabric choices.
He collected each item individually and quickly returned each, keeping us up to date on the process.
Jerome’s customer service and punctual turn around of the items was great.
Well recommended.

John, Tunbridge Wells

We had four porter-style antique armchairs, a sofa and a chaise-longue extensively repaired and re-upholstered by Jerome. His work was meticulously professional, completed to a very high standard and delivered on time and to budget. His artistic judgement is thoughtful, helpful but never intrusive. This was a complicated and expensive job which he excelled in. We are already repeat customers.

Mr Paine, Horsmonden

Jerome’s work is amazing and he is a pleasure to do business with. I and my chair thank him!
