Looking for a new hobby that sparks creativity and provides a sense of accomplishment? Here are five compelling reasons to dive into upholstery:
1. Express Your Creativity and Create Custom Pieces for your Home: Upholstery allows you to transform furniture with your unique style and design choices allowing you to craft furniture that perfectly fits your home and style. Your space will truly reflect who you are! I’m sat on one in this photo crafted out of my hubby’s old jeans.
2. Learn Valuable Skills that can be used again and again. You’re always going to need furniture in your life from footstools to headboards. You’ll be surprised how much upholstery you are surrounded by. There’s at least one piece of furniture in each room that I’ve created 🛠️ which shows my personal style as well us saving money.
Once you’ve learned the basics upholstery skills & techniques you can use them again and again. Practice makes perfect!
3. Sustainable Living: Upholstery promotes recycling and sustainability. 🌍💚 Give your old furniture a new lease of life rather than sending it to the tip. Our home is full of reupholstered furniture from footstools, sofas, headboards and dining chairs to name a few.
Or if you are making new you can use materials from recycled or certified sources. The ranges of fabrics that are available from recycled sources are stunning. Read about the ranges we use in our workshops.
4. Therapeutic Benefits; Engaging in hands-on projects can be a great stress reliever. This is my form of meditation!! 🌈 When I need to switch off I step into my upholstery workshop. Upholstery is a craft that requires attention to detail. When my hands are busy my mind switches off.
5. Connect with Others: Join a community of fellow enthusiasts, share ideas, and inspire each other. It’s a great way to make new friends! 🤝
