The sofa is best trusted to trust specialists. In some cases, independent repair is generally unacceptable. For example, with a very complex cut of upholstery or design of the model, for antique furniture, etc.D. A simple sofa can be tried to pull it yourself. This process consists of several stages — removing individual structural elements, removing the old upholstery, cutting new upholstery, fastening it on furniture.
First of all, observing caution, they dismantle the sidewalls of the sofa. Then remove the pillows, seat and back. All fasteners are removed in some kind of container so as not to lose them. Then, just as accurately, using the anti -stepler, they disconnect the upholstery from pillows, armrests and backs. If necessary, change old foam rubber, stretching and springs. You also need to carefully inspect the frame. All the weakened fasteners are to twist, replace the elements of the elements.
At the next stage of the sofa, proceeds to the cutting of a new upholstery. It will be most convenient to use the old as a pattern. It is very easy to overtake pillows. To do this, measure the length and width of the element, and then cut a new fabric in these sizes, leaving the allowances of 5 cm. After that, the pillow is placed on the resulting piece and wrapped its side part upstairs. Fix it with a stapler. The same procedure is repeated on each side. You need to do everything carefully, trying to apply the fabric tightly and at the same time do not pull. Otherwise, the drawing may be distorted. The distance between the staplers should be at least 4 cm. As soon as all the elements are covered, they are installed in place.
The most common mistake is the wrong calculation of the material when buying. If it is not enough, it will be very difficult to choose a similar shade. The fact is that different parties even the same upholstery for furniture can vary slightly in color. Therefore, it is better to immediately buy a little more material. The remains are subsequently useful for upholstery, for example, the pupil or stool.
After everything is ready, the sofa elements are collected in the reverse order. Best at the first stage, during disassembly, take photos of this process. In this case, the last work will carry out much easier.
Despite the fact that the above method of overeating furniture at first glance seems simple, it is quite difficult to perform it. Since sofas designs are very different, the upholstery process in different cases can have its own characteristics and nuances.
