In today's throwaway culture, there's a counter movement growing that urges us to 'make do and mend'. Reusing and upcycling has never been more popular, relevant or necessary, as people are becoming more aware of the grave implications of fast fashion/furniture on landfills and the environment - and with the cost-of-living crisis tightening everyone's purse strings, people are even more likely to turn to DIY methods to refresh their homes and furniture. Upholstery is one of the most accessible ways to refresh your home and in Upholstery School, The Repair Shop's resident upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary (of Sonnaz) shows readers exactly how to refresh their furnishings, with clear step-by-step instructions and photography, using her years of expertise and characteristic tasteful style that has cemented her as a fan favourite.
Sonnaz first outlines all the basic techniques involved, from explaining the tools and materials required, to various fabrics and fixings and the difference between modern vs traditional. The c. 24 step-by-step projects are split into two halves: Furniture and Soft furnishings, with most projects including at least one other variation, so there are plenty of options to suit every taste.
Projects include scatter cushions, bolster cushions, lampshades, various types of dining chairs, different shapes of headboard and a room divider.
