Reupholstering your footstool helps reduce waste and preserves valuable furniture instead of replacing it.

A well-loved footstool may have sentimental value, even if it no longer matches your décor. We expertly strip back and restore your piece, refreshing the foam, reinforcing joints, and applying new upholstery that aligns with your current style.
From contrast piping to deep button tufting and metallic studs, the final finish of a footstool can dramatically alter its look. We offer numerous options to make your piece traditional, modern, or anything in between.

Zenn Interiors – Where craftsmanship, comfort, and creativity meet.
Footstool upholstery usually involves removing the existing fabric, checking the frame and padding, and fitting a new upholstery covering. Depending on the condition of the piece, the work may also include repairs, replacement cushioning or updated finishing details.
Yes. Many existing footstools can be reupholstered if the frame remains in suitable condition. Reupholstery allows you to retain the original shape while refreshing the fabric, comfort and overall appearance.
A range of styles can be upholstered, including traditional footstools, storage footstools, ottoman-style designs, buttoned footstools and pieces with exposed legs. Suitability will depend on the construction and condition of the item.
A bespoke footstool can be designed around the required dimensions, shape and intended use. It can also be coordinated with an armchair, sofa, curtains or other furnishings within the room.
Suitable options include durable woven fabrics, velvet, patterned textiles and other upholstery-grade materials. The best choice will depend on how frequently the footstool is used, the room it will sit in and the wider design scheme.
Yes. Worn, flattened or uncomfortable padding can often be replaced during the upholstery process. The firmness and depth can be adjusted according to whether the footstool will be used for resting feet, occasional seating or decorative purposes.
Yes. The fabric, piping, trims and other details can be selected to match or complement existing seating. This can help create a more coordinated finish without requiring every item to use exactly the same material.
Yes. Storage footstools can often be reupholstered while retaining their practical function. The lid, hinges, internal lining and frame can also be assessed as part of the project.
The timescale depends on the size and condition of the footstool, the amount of repair work required and the availability of the chosen fabric. A clearer timeframe can be provided once the piece has been assessed.
Contact Zenn Interiors with photographs, approximate dimensions and details of the footstool’s condition. It is also helpful to explain how the piece will be used and any fabric, colour or finishing preferences you have.
