Services & Process

Ajram offers furniture reupholstery with a design consultation component, meaning fabric selection is treated as a creative decision, not just a practical one. Customers can browse furniture in the store and have pieces customized with their choice of material and finish. Reupholstery work covers sofas, chairs, sectionals, and accent pieces, including foam replacement and structural repairs to frames when needed. The studio's dual role as a furniture retailer means clients have a broader range of options, including the ability to purchase a new frame and have it upholstered to their exact specifications.

Service Area

Ajram Interior & Design Studio is based in Cedar Rapids and serves clients throughout Linn County. Customers from Marion, Hiawatha, and North Liberty regularly use the studio for both furniture purchases and reupholstery work. The shop's location in the Cedar Rapids metro makes it accessible to a wide range of clients across eastern Iowa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring in a fabric I found on my own for the reupholstery project?
Yes, many studios accept customer-supplied fabric as long as it meets the requirements for the project. You'll want to confirm the yardage needed and whether the fabric is suitable for the furniture type before purchasing it.
How do I know which fabric is right for a high-traffic piece like a sofa?
Look for fabrics rated for commercial or heavy residential use, often measured in double rub counts. A design studio can walk you through durability ratings and help you balance looks with practicality for how you actually use the piece.
Can a reupholstered piece really look like a brand-new item?
With quality craftsmanship and good materials, yes. A well-executed reupholstery job should be visually indistinguishable from new, and the underlying frame will often be sturdier than what you'd find in a comparably priced new piece.
Do you work with interior designers on commercial projects?
Many upholstery studios in Cedar Rapids work with both residential and commercial clients, including interior designers who need custom pieces for offices, hotels, or restaurants. It's worth calling ahead to discuss the scale and timeline of a larger project.
How much does furniture reupholstery typically cost in the Cedar Rapids area?
Pricing varies widely depending on the piece, fabric choice, and condition of the frame. A dining chair might run a couple hundred dollars, while a full sofa reupholstery can range from several hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on complexity and materials.
Can you repair the frame or legs of a piece at the same time as reupholstering it?
Most upholstery shops handle basic frame repairs as part of the process, since the piece is already disassembled. More significant structural repairs or refinishing of wood legs may involve additional cost, so it's good to ask upfront.
