FAQs

  • If the piece is well-made, you love the style, and the frame is still in solid condition, Reupholstery can absolutely be worth it. It allows you to keep a cherished item, customize it to suit your taste, and enjoy the quality of a well-built piece of furniture for years to come.

    Older furniture often have higher-quality construction over many newer items, especially pieces made before mass-production where cheaper materials became the norm. If your piece has a sturdy frame, good cushioning, and a timeless design, reupholstering can be a great way to keep a quality item rather than buying something of lower quality.

    Reupholstering gives you the opportunity to completely customize the fabric, color, and finish to match your current decor. This is particularly valuable if you have a piece that fits your space perfectly but is outdated or worn. You can choose from a wide range of luxurious or durable fabrics that might not be available on the mass market.

    By reupholstering, you’re keeping furniture out of landfills, reducing waste, and extending the life of a well-made piece!

  • The cost of reupholstery depends on several factors, including the type and size of the furniture, the fabric or material choice + the complexity of the design.

    *General Estimates

    Dining Chair: $85–$250+ per chair (depending on whether just the seat or the entire chair is reupholstered).

    Armchair: $300–$800+

    Sofa: $1,200–$3,500+

    (depending on size and style)

    Ottoman: $300–$700+

    Headboard: $500–$1,000+

    (based on size and fabric)

    *Additional Factors

    - Fabric Costs: ~$35–$100+ per yard (High-end or designer fabrics will increase the price & Larger patterns will require more yardage)

    - Repairs or Modifications: Additional charges for structural repairs, padding replacement, or tufting details.

  • When choosing fabric for furniture, the best option depends on factors like durability, aesthetics, ease of maintenance, and the room's traffic level.

    *Key Considerations:

    • Durability

    • Ease of Cleaning

    • Comfort

    • Shape of furniture + details like channels or tufting.

    • Fabric pattern scale in relation to the size of furniture.

    If you have pets or small children, it's worth considering upholstery fabrics designed to resist stains like an indoor/outdoor fabric, durable faux leather or vinyls.
