As we have been discussing right now and have discussed custom furniture and upholstery in quite extensive detail already. In this article we are going to talk about the similarities between custom furniture and upholstery or you can say that is it okay to consider both the terms the same. If not, why so, and if yes then how is that possible? Why not use the same terms for both processes?
Custom furniture which you all know by now is having a piece of furniture which you get made according to your choices and wants or just in a way different than what you own previously. Upholstery on the other hand is renovating the furniture you own to a better version of itself or to be made into something new. As the terms indicate these two are quite like each other but they are different as well.
Yes, you can say that a piece of upholstered furniture if completely changed is a piece of art of customization but the custom pieces a not be put into the same boat as the upholstered furniture. The main difference that is there between the upholstered furniture and the custom furniture is the furniture itself. For customization to talk in general you need newer furniture pieces whereas for the upholstered furniture or upholstery to work you need old or pre loved furniture and materials.
You use the best material and craftsmanship to do the work for both the custom furniture which is to be developed from the scratch and the upholstery work which will be done anew but only on furniture that you already own just like changing the seats of a chair or in terms of customization you replace the seats and if possible the chairs as well.
Upholstery is done on furniture that has a good infrastructure with some damage and the furniture holds some or much emotional value for a person to have it renewed. If it is not then it is better to put it away because upholstering a furniture piece can be costly denting on all the work that you might have to get done on it. If you decide to change the style of the furniture then the time and work, it will take would be much more than usual but still, you would get it back before that in lesser time than getting an original custom piece made.
Custom pieces are made to add uniqueness to your style and also to be sure of the style and look you are going for you have to survey the market and choose the best, after this comes the choice of thinking and deciding on the material, the frame woodwork, inner fillings and all other things such as fillers, varnish or polish possible designing the colour pattern all of that is to be decided beforehand the retailer will help you in making these choices so do not worry you will not be alone in all of this.
