Is My Furniture Worth Reupholstering?

We hear this all the time at Novik Upholstery and Restoration—and it’s a great question! The short answer? Sometimes yes… sometimes nope. But don’t worry, we’ll always give it to you straight.

Here at NUR, we’re not in the business of sugar-coating (unless we’re talking doughnuts). Our goal is to give you honest, thoughtful advice—even if that means saying, “You know what? It might not be worth it.” That said… in most cases, reupholstering is a smart, beautiful, and wildly creative choice.

Here’s when it’s absolutely worth it:

- Built to Last
If your furniture has a strong frame and quality craftsmanship, it’s worth saving. A fresh layer of fabric and expert care can give it decades more life.

- Unbeatable Comfort
If you already have the perfect "curl up" chair or family-favorite sofa, why start over? Reupholstering keeps the comfort you love while giving it a brand-new look.

- Memories That Matter

Maybe it’s grandma’s old bench or the rocker you used with your babies. We love helping pieces with heart find a fresh look while keeping their soul intact.

- Eco-Friendly & Smart
Reupholstering keeps quality furniture out of landfills and helps you avoid the mystery of “assembly required.” Choosing reupholstery means less waste and a more sustainable home. It’s a beautiful way to save what you love—and the planet too.

- Creativity

Reupholstering gives you the chance to create something totally one-of-a-kind.
At NUR, we’ll help you play with colors, textures, patterns, trims—you name it. Want a velvet leopard-print wingback? Go for it. A soft pastel linen bench with fringe? Why not! The possibilities are endless (and seriously fun).
