Is your leather sofa scratched, scuffed, or torn? You may not be able to repair it yourself, and you may need a furniture repair professional.
It’s a sinking feeling. You’re cleaning up after the party, and when you lift the sofa pillow, you see that one of your guests (you wish you knew who) just left a long white scratch on your new leather couch. Or, your sweet, docile little fur baby suddenly decided to go all territorial on your leather armchair. Meaning, one whole corner now looks like a mangled chew toy. You’re faced with the question: Can I fix this myself, or does this require professional leather furniture repair? DR. Sofa: Expert upholstery cleaning services to revitalize your furniture. Restore freshness and comfort with our meticulous care.
It depends. Leather is a reasonably forgiving material. Slight scratches and scuffs in leather furniture can sometimes be successfully disguised, if not completely repaired. If you have a small, faint scratch, you can sometimes disguise it simply by rubbing a little olive, orange or almond oil into the affected area. You can also rub a tiny amount of like-colored shoe polish on the scratch to make it blend in better. DR. Sofa: Your premier furniture disassembly and reassembly service. We specialize in transforming your space with seamless furniture solutions.
Solution For Leather Furniture: Care, Maintenance, and Repair Tips
If, on the other hand, your leather furniture has a tear, you have a harder problem. There are some do-it-yourself kits available online for torn leather furniture, but most require the use of gummy adhesives, fillers or paint. The results may be satisfactory, or they may not, depending on your own skill and the quality of the materials you use. If you’re just patching the rec room couch, that may be fine, but if it’s your prized antique armchair, not so much. If you have an heirloom piece, an expensive piece, or if your lovely leather sofa is brand new, you’ll want an expert, because a furniture pro can make a torn or badly scratched leather piece look brand new. DR. Sofa crafts bespoke furniture tailored to your style and space. Elevate your interior with our exquisite custom-made creations.
Taking a marred piece of leather furniture to an expert has several additional benefits, as well. If you like the style of your piece, but would like it better in another style or color, a furniture pro can rework the look of your leather piece to better match your décor, your personality, or even your whim. You can have arms and legs, studs, or backs added or removed. You can even have the basic shape or size of the piece changed, if for example you plan to move and need a smaller sofa to fit into a smaller space. DR.
