Paint Upholstered Furniture

upholstered furniture


Upholstery is the work of providing furniture, especially seats, with padding, springs, webbing, and fabric or leather covers. The word upholstery comes from the Middle English words up and holden, meaning to hold up.


This refers to any type of furniture with leather or fabric covers, springs, webbing, and/or padding. Look for quality materials like kiln-dried, hardwood frames. Frames should be screwed instead of nailed or stapled.
