5 Reasons Furniture Refurbishing is Worth the Cost

Give your home a much-needed upgrade by letting Creative Colors International Inc. refurbish outdated and dingy furniture by furniture repair.

In an effort to flatten the curve, Americans spent last year sheltered at home. To accommodate teleworking, remote schooling, and round-the-clock occupancy, many homeowners discovered they needed to make some adjustments. With vacations canceled and big-ticket purchases put on the back burner, many people had the resources to do simple home upgrades. They were also able to use the time they saved commuting to the office to work on home projects.

For example, the pool and hot tub industry experienced unprecedented growth in 2020, according to the Pool and Hot Tub Alliance. While restaurants struggled, sales at home improvement giants, like Home Depot and Lowes, soared during the pandemic, CNBC reported.

Despite making home improvements, the uncertainty of the economy and lack of job security prompted many people to search for cost savings as they made upgrades. CCI, the mobile leader in leather and vinyl repair, provides a unique way for homeowners to breathe fresh life into their living spaces while keeping costs down.

At a time when mental health is top of mind, science is finding that the interior design of a person’s home can impact their well-being, according to Houzz. Having bright, open spaces free of digital devices are key to elevating mood. Muted colors and clearing color are also key to having a serene space. By making small changes to your home, such as reupholstering furniture, you can help create a sanctuary.

Upholstery Repair by CCI

Furniture endures copious wear and tear, especially if you have children or pets. CCI’s experienced service technicians are skilled in all types of furniture refurbishing. If damage to your seating is too severe or you simply want a new look, CCI offers upholstery services. Upholstery labor costs range from $40 to $100 per hour, not including fabric, according to Home Advisor, an online service that connects homeowners with service providers. The average chair or couch can cost $500 to $1,000 to reupholster.

Here are the top five reasons to choose to reupholster your existing furniture.

1. Family Heirloom. If you inherited an antique chair from a grandparent or have fond memories of the couch that occupied your living room when you were young, keep the memory alive by getting it reupholstered. A new fabric can make the treasured heirloom flow seamlessly in your home. Technicians can also secure wobbly furniture to make sure it is safe to use.
2. Perfect Fit. When you moved into your home, you found furniture that fit the space perfectly. If your existing living room furniture fits perfectly in your space, finding a new replacement may be challenging. If the furniture is simply worn and not damaged, furniture refurbishing can breathe new life into your space. It can also refresh your space and fix dingy or outdated upholstery.
3. High-Quality Furniture. Finding high-quality, well-made furniture is rare these days. The ability to order low-cost pieces from online providers and the growing abundance of big-box discount stores offering furniture deals are hard to pass up. If you have older furniture that is built to withstand the test of time, refurbishing furniture will be more cost-effective than purchasing new pieces.
4. Environmentally Friendly. As more Americans opt to recycle and choose green options to protect the environment, reupholstering furniture represents another way to reduce, recycle, and reuse. Refurbishing furniture adds beauty to your home and protects the environment.
5. Cost. While reupholstery services can add up, they can be a cost-effective way to spiff up your home’s interior. A CCI technician can come to your home to repair rips, tears, burns, seam slippage, and color restoration. Making repairs to dingy furniture will prevent you from having to buy an expensive replacement.

CCI also has years of experience treating and repairing leather furniture. No matter how damaged your leather product may be, we are confident that we can restore it to its former glory for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
