New upholstery can completely transform a piece of furniture—especially something vintage—from dated to dazzling. Fun fact: Janine and Jon, our fearless founders, started Tonic Living as an ebay store selling vintage furniture back in the early aughts. To this day, vintage is still woven into the threads of Tonic Living (see what we did there 😏).
The addition of fresh fabric on vintage furniture creates a tension between old and new that brings so much soul to spaces. Whether it's something you picked up at an antique show or a family heirloom that needs a new look, consider how the right fabric can bring new life to a lackluster piece while preserving its history and charm. Here are five vintage chairs we dreamed up in the creative studio to get you inspired!
