Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of fabric can I choose from for reupholstery?
Options typically include cotton blends, linen, velvet, microfiber, vinyl, and various synthetic fabrics designed for durability. The right choice depends on how heavily the piece will be used, whether you have pets or kids, and the look you're going for.
Can I get help picking a fabric that will hold up with pets?
Absolutely. Staff who do upholstery work daily know firsthand which fabrics resist snags, pet hair, and moisture. Tight-weave synthetics and leather-alternative materials tend to be popular choices for pet owners.
Is buying fabric separately cheaper than using an upholstery shop's selection?
Not always. Upholstery shops often have trade pricing on fabrics that's competitive with retail, and you avoid the risk of buying the wrong amount or a material that's difficult to work with. Getting everything in one place also means fewer surprises.
Can you reupholster a sectional sofa?
Yes, sectionals can be reupholstered, though they take more time and fabric than a standard sofa. Each section is typically handled individually, and the shop will calculate the yardage needed based on the full configuration.
Do you work with interior designers on client projects?
Many upholstery shops in Saint Paul regularly work alongside interior designers who bring in furniture from client homes or specify particular fabrics. It's worth calling ahead to discuss how the process works for trade clients.
How do I measure how much fabric I'll need for a project?
In most cases, the shop will calculate yardage for you once they've seen the piece. If you're shopping for fabric before bringing in the furniture, a rough estimate for a standard sofa is 12 to 15 yards, but your specific piece may need more or less.
