Bar Stool Upholstery
Bar stools take a real beating in kitchens and breakfast bars, so it's no surprise when the upholstery starts looking tired. The good news is that when you reupholster a bar stool, you can completely transform how it looks without replacing the whole thing. Many bar stools have solid frames that outlast their covering by years, particularly older pieces built with proper construction. We strip away the worn fabric, assess the frame and padding, make any repairs, and reupholster a stool in fabric you've chosen from thousands of options. You can match your stools to your kitchen chairs, pick something hardwearing, or go for easy-clean fabrics if you've got young children. Our team handles everything from collection through to delivery, making sure the fabric tension is spot-on so your bar stools look professionally finished.

Footstool Reupholstery FAQs
What are the benefits of reupholstering your bar stool?
Reupholstering your bar stool makes far more sense than replacing it, particularly if the frame is still solid. Bar stools built years ago often feature better construction than modern alternatives, with proper joints and sturdy bases that last for decades. By choosing to reupholster a bar stool rather than buy new, you're keeping that quality whilst completely refreshing its appearance. You can select from thousands of fabrics to match your kitchen, coordinate with your dining chairs, or choose practical materials that withstand daily use. It's also the more sustainable choice, keeping furniture out of landfill and giving well-loved pieces a new lease of life. Our reupholstery service goes beyond just recovering the seat. We repair frames, replace worn padding, and rebuild the structure to ensure your bar stool feels comfortable and lasts for many more years to come.
What is our process for upholstering your bar stool?
We start with a free home consultation where we assess your bar stool, discuss what you're looking for, and show you fabric samples from leading manufacturers. Once you've chosen your fabric and approved the quote, we collect your piece and bring it to our workshop in Farlington. Our craftsmen carefully strip away the old covering to see what's underneath, then get to work on any necessary repairs. Loose joints are reinforced, worn padding is replaced, and frames are treated if needed. We then rebuild the padding layers using quality materials for proper support and comfort. Your chosen fabric is expertly cut and fitted with attention to pattern matching and tension. We complete the piece with any finishing details, carry out thorough quality checks, and arrange convenient delivery back to your home. Throughout the process, we use traditional techniques combined with modern materials to achieve results that last.
What types of fabrics do we use?
We work with thousands of fabrics from the world's leading manufacturers, giving you an enormous range of colours, patterns, and textures to choose from. Our selection includes premium brands like Sanderson, Harlequin, and Romo, alongside performance fabrics designed for busy households. You can opt for luxurious velvets, practical materials, stain-resistant treatments, or hardwearing fabrics perfect for family homes with children and pets. During your consultation, we bring samples to your home so you can see how fabrics look in your actual lighting and alongside your existing furniture. We're also happy to work with fabric you've sourced yourself if you've found something beautiful elsewhere. Our team can advise on which fabrics suit different uses, helping you balance appearance with practicality. All our upholstery fabrics are professional-grade materials that meet high standards for durability and finish, ensuring your reupholstered bar stool looks beautiful and stands up to daily use.
