Reupholster them ..I can't do without them
Pop them on eBay and use the money on a new suite
Choose a cheaper leather so not too expensive to reupholster

Sofa reupholster..don't know what colour to choose
Comments (18)I think you need to stay neutral to ensure that your couch and room colour are cohesive. The odd colour out ... that pops out at me when I first look at your photo's is the silver around the wooden TV cabinet doors. I would suggest long term (if you are keeping that furniture) that you try to incorporate more of that colour into the room to add balance...... but back to the couch. I would go fawn / beige colour and then you can add colour back into the room with cream / dark brown tones in cushions and maybe a casual throw. Alternatively if you repaint the feature wall from brown to a darker shade of grey I would go with a medium grey couch which would also match in with the silver on the TV cabinet and then you could put a lovely textured silver / grey floor run between the couches and move your coffee table to the centre of the room / rug....See Morereupholstering 4 dining room chairs. need help chosing fabric
Comments (1)They sound nice! Try looking up Florence Broadhurst fabric online if you like a botanical or geometric look, very elegant designs in black and white....See MoreWhat's the best thing you have picked up in a council clean-up?
Comments (10)PS, we were out walking and I sent my daughter home for the car and stood next too it so I wouldn't lose it, it is so heavy and we were all sick with the flu, but has cleaned up beautifully and Lucy is 2 and loves it, the little boy's whose it was (originally his sister who was then 13) was a bit sad but mum said it was time it found a new home and how the new little girl would enjoy it, he came out and had a chat with me whilst I was holding my ground, I popped a thankyou card and a target voucher in his letter box a few days later, I just hope he got it...See MoreIs it even worth reupholstering old chairs!? So pricey!
Comments (31)I have some 60s TV chairs that recline, I love them because they are a bit retro and suit my dodgy back. I had them reupholstered at the very exorbitant cost of $500 each! They are now a fabric I love but, as someone else pointed out, went from squashy and comfortable to hard foam. I'm spending a lot of time sitting in them to soften them up ;) Also one of them had a higher back, which fitted my 6ft partner, but when they came back they were all the same height. My fault as I should have talked it through with the upholsterer. I would do it again but only for furniture I really love, and I'd be very clear about what I wanted. On another note, we had 2 club chairs made for us more than 20 years ago - we love love them and they will be good as new for a long time. It was way better than reupholstering 2 old club chairs....See MoreVy
