Cape Town notes on furniture reupholstery
Victorian semis in Woodstock, Observatory and Wynberg hold button-back chairs, chaises and riempie benches, while Pinelands and Rondebosch homes have mid-century armchairs that suit a modern fabric. Constantia and Bishopscourt families restore Cape Dutch chairs and yellowwood pieces. In Mitchells Plain, Athlone and Khayelitsha, recovering a solid lounge suite or adding a headboard is common. Damp southern suburbs winters can leave mould under cushions, so ask for a frame and foam check.
Upholstery work in Cape Town
Woodstock and Salt River have been home to furniture makers and upholsterers for generations, and that trade still shapes upholstery in Cape Town. Upholsterers in Cape Town recover Victorian chairs from Observatory semis, mid-century armchairs from Pinelands, Cape Dutch dining sets from Constantia and lounge suites from Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha. Restaurants on Bree Street and in the Waterfront recover booths and bar stools, holiday flats on the Atlantic Seaboard need tough covers, and yachts in the harbours need marine vinyl. Motor trimmers in Epping, Maitland and Paarden Eiland handle car upholstery in Cape Town, from bakkie seats to classic cars. Wet winters bring damp and mould; the summer sun fades fabric fast.
Typical upholstered headboards requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a new queen or king headboard for the main bedroom, or a child's single recovered
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: matching headboards for guesthouse, lodge and hotel rooms, made or recovered in batches
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: a padded bed head in a truck sleeper cab or a camper conversion
