Your Office Makeover: Why We Recommend Reupholstering Office Furniture

When we think of updating a workspace, we often jump straight to buying brand-new furniture. Sometimes, this is absolutely necessary, and we can help with that too. But more often than not, there’s a smarter, more sustainable, and often more cost-effective option: reupholstering. If your chairs, booths, or breakout seating are looking tired, reupholstery might be just what your office needs to feel fresh, and it all comes without the hefty price tag of a full refit.

Why Reupholster Instead of Replace?

1. Save Money, Not Comfort
Office chairs and seating are built to last. The frames and mechanisms are usually solid: it’s the fabric or foam that takes the hit. Reupholstering allows you to preserve quality items while giving them a new lease on life. You keep the comfort your staff already trust, while saving on replacement costs.

2. Customise Your Look
Whether you're refreshing your brand or simply updating your colour scheme, reupholstering gives you full control. Choose fabrics, colours, and finishes that match your new aesthetic without compromising on style or professionalism.

3. Be Kind to the Planet
Office furniture waste is a growing issue. Reupholstering helps reduce landfill and supports a more circular approach to office design. If sustainability matters to your business, this is a practical and impactful step.

4. Less Disruption
Replacing furniture can mean lead times, delivery logistics, and downtime. Reupholstery can often be completed quickly, and offsite if required, meaning minimal interruption to your day-to-day operations. 

What Can Be Reupholstered?
