Project Description
Branded Australia Chesterfield Sofa Reupholstery in Shah Alam
Chesterfield sofa reupholstery is a smart way to restore a classic leather sofa when the frame is still strong, but the leather has cracked, dried, or broken. For this project in Shah Alam, Selangor, the customer owned one unit of Moran Furniture Chesterfield sofa from Australia. The sofa had been used for more than 20 years. However, the customer still loved its shape, comfort, and vintage character.


Australia Moran Furniture Chesterfield Sofa Restoration
This sofa is a classic Australian-made Moran Furniture piece. Its design is close to the traditional Chesterfield style, with deep button tufting, rolled arms, nailhead trimming, and a strong luxury look. In addition, the sofa carries a timeless character that suits both classic and modern homes.
The Moran Bastille-style Chesterfield design is known for its diamond buttoned upholstery, hand studding, tailored piping, and charming timber feet. These details give the sofa a rich and elegant appearance. Therefore, the restoration had to protect the original look. The aim was not to change the design. Instead, the goal was to bring back the same premium appearance using a similar leather colour and finish.
Why the Customer Chose Reupholstery
After more than 20 years of use, the sofa leather cover had become dry. Some areas had started to crack, and some parts were broken. Also, the seat cushions had become soft and sagging. Even so, the frame was still in good condition.
Because of this, replacing the whole sofa was not necessary. The customer decided to restore it with vintage oil wax leather in a similar green colour. As a result, the sofa could keep its original Australian Chesterfield style while gaining a fresh new finish.


Vintage Oil Wax Leather for a Classic Look
For this Chesterfield sofa reupholstery project, the leather selection was very important. A normal leather finish may not match the original look. Therefore, Mr Sofa used a similar type of oil wax leather to maintain the vintage feel.
Oil wax leather gives a rich and natural appearance. It also creates depth in colour, especially on a deep green Chesterfield sofa. Moreover, this leather type helps the sofa keep its classic and premium character.
Repairing the Sagging Seat Cushions
The seat cushions were no longer firm. They felt soft and sagging after many years of use. Therefore, Mr Sofa improved the cushion support during the restoration process. This helped the sofa feel more comfortable and supportive again.
At the same time, the original cushion shape was maintained. This was important because the sofa has a traditional Chesterfield profile. A wrong cushion shape could affect the final look.


Keeping the Original Chesterfield Design
The customer wanted the sofa to look as close as possible to the previous design. Therefore, the deep button tufting, rolled arms, nailhead details, and panel design were carefully followed.
In addition, the restoration focused on balance. The sofa needed to look refreshed, but not overly modern. This helped preserve its classic Moran Furniture identity.
