In many cases, yes. If your furniture has a strong frame and is comfortable, reupholstering is often more cost-effective than replacing it with something new. It also allows you to choose fabrics and finishes that perfectly suit your home while keeping the quality and comfort you’re already used to.
Absolutely. Our service isn’t just about recovering with new fabric—we can also carry out frame repairs, padding replacements, spring work, and other structural fixes to make your furniture as good as new.

This depends on the size of the project and fabric availability. Smaller items may take just a couple of weeks, while larger suites or complex restorations may take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeframe when we provide your quote.
Yes, you can. We’ll show you a wide range of fabric samples during your free consultation, and we’re happy to advise on durability, colour coordination, and design to help you find the perfect match.
Yes, we regularly work with businesses across Scotland, upholstering seating for restaurants, hotels, offices, and more. Our team can handle large-scale projects with the same attention to detail as individual household pieces.
We can work with Ikea furniture, but only vintage Ikea due to the stronger frames. Modern Ikea furniture is not suited to be reupholstered due to how they are manufactured nowadays.

“What a fantastic company. Found them by chance when looking for an upholsterer. Very knowledgable, loads of good advise & materials to pick from to.

Rebecca Duff
“Delighted with the workmanship, had an old ( smokers chair as it was called years ago) which was nearly dumped a few times, so glad we never. Nu -rest transformed it and it looks amazing. Now takes pride of place in lounge. Lovely people to deal with, would highly recommend”
Linda Brown
“Excellent company to do business with. Quality workmanship. Excellent customer service and quick delivery. 6 Dining Chairs recovered and now look as good – or even better than – as new. Would definitely recommend this company.”
Joan Buchanan
“Such a professional company with superb customer service!
I was a bit sceptical about having our cuddle chair recovered as I find that when most soft furnishings are redone it is very obvious. However our chair has been returned (ahead of schedule) looking better than when it went! The finish and attention to detail is excellent. I would highly recommend Nu-Rest to anyone looking for a quality upholsterer.”
