Trends & Inspiration
Be Inspired
The Textile Company introduce us to the Camengo’s Spring – Summer collection for 2026 which they say has been created from a desire to make quality fabric accessible, practical and playful and believe it espouses a real joie de vivre. They tell us that this collection displays gorgeous textures, a delicate palette and will suit our Australian interiors beautifully.
Take a look yourself and see if you agree.
Be Creative
James Dunlop Australia tempt us to be creative and match our ideal pieces with luxury aesthetics. They suggest a piece of furniture can be customised in every aspect – style, size, cushion fill. They then recommend that once you create your ideal piece of furniture you then pair it with a fabric that ticks all the boxes for value, style, sustainability and safety. They believe their FibreGuard fabrics can do all this.
So, take the challenge, create your ideal piece of furniture and see if their FibreGuard fabrics complete this process for you.
Be Sustainable
Instyle introduce us to their groundbreaking biodegradable vinyl – Soma. They say it combines high performance with unparalleled sustainability. They share how it biodegrades 90% within two years and explain scientifically how Soma has proven to leave no trace, no toxins, no microplastics. Soma, they say, does all this without compromising on its exceptional durability and aesthetic integrity.

Advice
Be informed
How much does re-upholstering cost?
Your investment for the re-upholstery of your furniture will depend on several things. Firstly, your choice of material, this can vary dramatically in price from as low as $30.00 up to as much as $300.00 per lineal metre or even more. Secondly, your furniture’s style and condition will make up the remaining costs as no two pieces of furniture are the same. It is important we see your furniture so we can give you an accurate price.
Do I need to bring the furniture to you?
No, pickup and delivery is usually part of our service, we will come to you and collect your furniture and return it once it has been completed to your specifications and to our standards.
Is it worth re-upholstering my furniture?
This is a very important question to ask. We believe all furniture can be re-upholstered and repaired if required; frames can be restored, padding can be replaced with new high resilient paddings and of course, your material can be restyled with a new material of your choice.
Do I need my own material?
No, we stock a comprehensive range of the highest quality fabrics and leathers from leading fabric houses from Australia and around the world for you to choose from. These high superior materials will ensure you receive not only the finest quality but give you longevity in your furniture.
How long will I be without my furniture?
This will vary as not everyone has the same style and configuration of furniture. Generally the length of time we will need your furniture will be 2-3 days through to 2-3 weeks. This will be discussed with you at the time of our appointment. We understand everyone has differing needs and we will discuss this also at the time of our appointment.
Why should I re-upholster over buying a new lounge?
This is a great question; when you become a client of Prestige Upholstery you will receive our personalised service from fully accredited and trained craftspeople with years of experience behind them. You will have the opportunity to customise your furniture by re-styling and re-storing your furniture just the way you like it. We can provide ideal comfort, support and resilient paddings both in traditional and modern contemporary design. We can ensure you get to keep your favourite piece of furniture and have it restored to your ideal comfort and style.
My lounge is leather now, can I have it re-upholstered in a fabric?
Yes, this is no problem for our trained team as we design a new pattern throughout the process of restoring your furniture. This can also be completed in reverse, fabric to leather. Our trained team create patterns for your furniture to suit your specifications and design needs. You will see the possibilities are endless.
What guarantee do you have?
At Prestige Upholstery our reputation in the furniture industry is very important to us and we are committed to the long term satisfaction of all our clients. That is why Prestige Upholstery guarantees our upholstery workmanship for the life of your furniture or for as long as you have it.

Please do not hesitate to contact us and speak to one of our trained team members, we are here to help.
Can I use my own material?
Although we stock a comprehensive range of materials from leading fabric houses, we have no problem using the material you have purchased yourself.
Do you do polishing of timber?
Yes, furniture polishing is a service we provide to our clients through the use of our extended company partners, known and trusted craftspeople who are fully accredited and trained. We can organise this as a part of our service to you.

Direction
Be Inspired
Consider Foundations– your foundations for your furniture are important and are like the suspension on your car, they need to be strong but move with you. How are the foundations on your lounge or chair? Are they soft? Do they move? Is there anything not working or in need of repair?
Your framework – is there anything broken? Do you still like the style?
Your seating springs / foam – is there anything sagging? Is it supportive? Is there anything you would like to change?
Think about Fabric– What do you like about your fabric? What do you want to change?What texture are you after? A velvet, a linen, a leather? What colour are you after? Are you after a pattern? A block colour? What features do you want your fabric to have? Easy to clean? Sustainable?
Choose Accessories– Is there anything in particular you want to add to your furniture? Do you want piping / fringing / tassels / braid?
Is there anything else you want or need to build your space? Scatter cushions / ottomans / curtains / lamp shades / rugs?
