That is why you can easily make the restoration of such furniture at home, namely - to cover it with a new upholstery.Hauling furniture is a rather complicated process, but it’s really possible to do it yourself. In order to repair and update such a sofa, you need to acquire several things — the material chosen for the upholstery, the electric stapler and the staples for it.

First you must choose the material that you plan to upholster the sofa. Genuine leather or fabric is best for home upholstery. If you decide to make leather upholstery, then you need to purchase this material. Try to choose thin, but elastic skin. Its thickness should not exceed 3 mm, otherwise it will be very difficult to upholstery furniture with such material. Upholstering a sofa with leather, keep in mind that it must be dry, because when wet, this material stretches very quickly, and shrinks when dried, so this piece of furniture will not look very nice afterwards.

Raw skin is used only if you want drum tension.. For sofa upholstery buy only natural materials, leatherette is not suitable for this. If you decide to upholster a sofa with a simple cloth, it is best to give preference to tapestry.All upholstery materials are more expensive than tapestry, but it can perfectly replace them. Also this material for upholstery has an advantage - it is more practical, the structure of the tapestry does not allow making a clue.

Before proceeding to the hauling furniture, you must initially disconnect from it all the constituent elements: bumpers, back, legs and other parts. To do this, use all standard tools, such as screwdrivers, wrenches and more. Then you need to get rid of the old brackets that fix the upholstery on such furniture. It is quite difficult, because usually the material is fastened with a huge amount and it is not easy to pull them out of the frame.

They can be removed using scissors, sturdy knives, thin screwdrivers and other devices.

After hooking up the old brackets, you need to dramatically pull them out without breaking them. It is better to use pliers or large tweezers. Then you need to stretch the upholstery well and quickly fix it in the tensioned form. Moreover, it is necessary to upholster each element separately, while it is necessary to bend the edges of the upholstery, hiding the seams. Upholstery must be fastened with an electric stapler along the seams.The sequence of sofa upholstery is also very important. Initially, it is necessary to sheathe smaller and smaller components, and only then proceed to the back of the sofa and its base.

You can also make upholstery with a carriage fastener, that is, with buttons arranged in a checkerboard pattern, which will create a beautiful pattern. Carriage stitch involves sewing on the upholstery of buttons or other decor. To do this, it is better to use very strong threads; moreover, buttons should be fastened as tightly as possible and the pattern should be observed. Most often, leather models embellish the carriage fastener, as this diamond-shaped pattern looks very stylish.
