Furniture Restoration Sydney
Well-made furniture deserves more than a quick cosmetic fix. Whether you have inherited a family dining setting, found a vintage chair with great potential or want to revive a much-loved sofa, professional furniture restoration can preserve what makes the piece special while making it comfortable, attractive and practical again.
Daylom & Vovo provides complete furniture restoration services across Sydney for antique, vintage, mid-century and quality contemporary furniture. Our experienced restorers and Sydney upholsterers assess each item individually, looking at its construction, condition, materials and intended use before recommending the right work. Depending on the piece, that may involve furniture repairs, reupholstering, new cushioning, leather work, timber repairs, refinishing or a coordinated combination of services.
With more than 60 years of restoration experience, our team brings patient workmanship and professional advice to every project. The aim is not simply to make old furniture look newer. It is to restore its strength, comfort and character so it can be enjoyed for many more years.
Complete Furniture Restoration Services
No two restoration projects are exactly alike. A chair may need loose joints repaired as well as new upholstery. A sofa may have a strong frame but require new support, cushioning and fabric. An antique cabinet may need careful surface work that respects its age, while a mid-century dining setting may need colour matching across several pieces.
Our furniture restoration service brings these needs together. Instead of treating the frame, finish and upholstery as unrelated jobs, our craftspeople consider the complete piece and how each part affects the finished result.
Furniture Repairs and Structural Restoration
Movement, age, accidental damage and years of regular use can weaken even well-made furniture. Our furniture repairs may include stabilising frames, replacing or re-gluing joints, repairing chipped or damaged components, addressing scratches and dents, and rebuilding worn areas where appropriate.
Structural work is completed before the final finish or upholstery so that the piece is safe, stable and ready for everyday use. For detailed information about wooden furniture, surface damage and protective finishes, visit our timber restoration service.
Furniture Upholstery Sydney
Daylom is both a specialist restoration workshop and an established upholstery shop. Our furniture upholstery services can renew comfort, appearance and support while respecting the proportions and style of the original piece.
Customers can choose from a wide range of upholstery fabrics and materials with professional guidance on colour, texture, durability and suitability for the way the furniture will be used. We can also help with custom and replacement cushions when a piece has lost its shape, firmness or comfort. If upholstery is the main requirement, learn more about our complete reupholstery services and process.
Our Upholstery Sydney Services Include
- sofa upholstery for lounges, settees and modular seating
- chair upholstery for dining chairs, armchairs, occasional chairs and recliners
- leather upholstery repairs and replacement where suitable
- replacement of worn foam, cushioning, webbing and support materials
- fabric, vinyl and leather selection
- careful reupholstering of antique, vintage, mid-century and modern furniture
Timber Finishes and French Polishing
Some furniture needs surface restoration as well as structural or upholstery work. Our wood restoration capabilities include careful preparation, colour matching and the renewal of suitable finishes, while the dedicated timber page explains these services in greater detail.
For customers seeking French polish furniture restoration, our reupholsterers can assess whether this traditional hand-applied finish is right for the timber, age and intended use of the piece. An experienced French polisher can build depth and clarity while bringing out the natural character of the grain. Read more about our specialist French polishing services in Sydney.
Furniture We Restore
Our team works on individual feature pieces, complete settings and furniture used every day. Projects may include:
- sofas, lounges, settees and sofa beds
- dining chairs, armchairs, occasional chairs and recliners
- dining tables, coffee tables, side tables and desks
- sideboards, buffets, cabinets, bookcases and wardrobes
- dressing tables, chests, stools and benches
- outdoor timber furniture where restoration is practical
- commercial furniture, reception seating and banquette seating
We restore residential and commercial furniture, but the advice always begins with the item itself. Its construction, condition and replacement value all help determine whether restoration is the sensible choice.
Antique, Vintage and Old Furniture Restoration
Older furniture often carries value that cannot be measured by its current appearance. It may have been made using quality materials and traditional joinery, reflect a particular design period, or hold memories that make replacement undesirable.
Our antique furniture restoration Sydney service is guided by the character and construction of each piece. We assess what should be retained, what needs repair and which treatments are appropriate. The goal is not to erase every sign of age automatically. It is to create a sound, considered result that respects the furniture and suits the owner’s plans for it.
Old furniture restoration can also be a practical alternative to buying new. A solid frame may still have decades of life remaining even when the finish is marked, the joints are loose or the upholstery is tired. With the right combination of repair, refinishing and reupholstering, a dated or damaged piece can return to regular use without losing the qualities that made it worth keeping.

Our Furniture Restoration Process
1. Send Us Details and Photos
Complete our proposal form with clear photos of the full piece, close-ups of damaged areas and a description of the result you would like. Include the furniture brand if known and tell us whether the item has sentimental, antique or collector value.
2. Assessment and Proposal
Our team reviews the information to identify the likely repairs, restoration and upholstery work required. We then contact you with professional recommendations and a proposal based on the condition and scope of the project.
3. Collection or Workshop Drop-Off
Once you approve the proposal, we can arrange pickup from many locations across Greater Sydney, or you can organise to deliver the furniture to our workshop by appointment.
4. Preparation, Repairs and Restoration
The furniture is carefully prepared before the finishing work begins. Depending on the project, our craftspeople may stabilise or re-glue joints, repair damaged components, prepare timber surfaces, renew cushioning, fit new support materials, complete reupholstering and apply the agreed finish. Suitable high-quality materials are selected for the construction and intended use of the piece.
5. Inspection and Return
The completed furniture is inspected for workmanship, stability, finish and presentation. We then contact you to arrange collection or return delivery.
You can see examples of completed furniture, timber and upholstery projects in our recent work gallery.

Furniture Restoration FAQs
Is My Furniture Worth Restoring?
Furniture may be worth restoring when it has a sound or repairable frame, quality construction, sentimental importance, antique or design value, or proportions that are difficult to replace. Photos help our team provide an initial assessment, although the final recommendation depends on the condition and work required.
Can You Restore Both the Timber and Upholstery?
Yes. Many projects require a combination of furniture repairs, timber refinishing, new cushioning and reupholstering. Coordinating these elements helps the frame, finish and upholstery work together as a complete result. Detailed timber issues are covered on our timber restoration page.
Do You Restore Antique Furniture?
Yes. Antique pieces are assessed carefully so the proposed work respects their construction, age and character. Tell us about any known history, previous repairs or concerns when requesting a proposal.
Can Leather Furniture Be Restored?
Daylom can assess leather sofas, chairs and other upholstered pieces for repair, cushioning and reupholstery options. The right approach depends on the condition of the leather, frame and internal support, as well as the finish you want to achieve.
How Long Does Furniture Restoration Take?
Timing depends on the condition of the furniture, the combination of services required, material availability and the current workshop schedule. Once the team has reviewed your photos and requirements, the proposal process can provide guidance specific to your project.
How Do I Get a Furniture Restoration Proposal?
Send clear photos from several angles, close-ups of the damaged or worn areas, the furniture brand if known, your pickup location and a description of the work you are considering. These details help our team understand the project and prepare an informed response.
