About Back To Beauty Custom Upholstery

Back To Beauty Custom Upholstery is based in Lisbon, Maine, a town in Androscoggin County that sits just a short drive from Lewiston and Auburn. The name alone signals what this shop is about: taking furniture that's worn, torn, or outdated and making it genuinely attractive again. Lisbon's location in the greater Lewiston-Auburn area means the shop draws customers from a fairly dense regional population, including homeowners, rental property managers, and anyone who's inherited a piece worth saving. It's a straightforward promise backed by hands-on custom work.

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Custom upholstery means the work is tailored to what you actually want, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Back To Beauty handles full furniture reupholstery jobs from frame inspection through final stitching, covering sofas, sectionals, chairs, headboards, and more. Customers can choose from a range of fabric weights and textures, and the shop works to match fabric patterns across seams for a clean, professional finish. Custom work also means accommodating specific requests like channel tufting, nailhead trim, or contrasting piping that adds a distinctive detail to the finished piece.

Service Area

Back To Beauty Custom Upholstery serves Lisbon and the broader Androscoggin County area. Customers from Lewiston, Auburn, Topsham, Brunswick, and surrounding towns regularly make the trip. The shop's central location in the Lewiston-Auburn corridor makes it accessible to a wide stretch of mid-coast and inland Maine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'custom upholstery' actually mean compared to standard reupholstery?
Standard reupholstery replaces worn fabric with a comparable material and restores the original look. Custom upholstery goes further, letting you choose specific fabrics, alter dimensions, add decorative details like tufting or nailhead trim, or even change the cushion style entirely.
Can you reupholster a sectional sofa, or is it too complicated?
Sectionals are absolutely doable, though they require more material and more time than a standard sofa. The key is making sure fabric patterns align between sections, which is where a skilled custom shop earns its reputation.
How much fabric will I need for a typical armchair?
Most armchairs require between 4 and 7 yards of fabric depending on the size, style, and whether the fabric has a pattern that needs to be matched. Your upholsterer can calculate the exact yardage once they've measured the piece.
Can I get a headboard upholstered at the same time as other furniture?
Yes, and it's a popular project. An upholstered headboard in a matching or complementary fabric can tie a bedroom together nicely. It's a relatively straightforward job and a good way to get cohesive results from a single shop visit.
What's the difference between foam density options for cushion replacement?
Higher density foam is firmer, holds its shape longer, and is better for everyday seating. Lower density foam is softer but compresses more quickly over time. Your upholsterer can recommend the right balance based on how the furniture gets used.
Is there a minimum project size, or do you take on small repairs too?
Policies vary by shop, but most upholsterers will take on small repairs like a torn seam, a damaged arm, or a single chair that needs recovering. It's always worth calling to describe the job and ask whether it's something they can accommodate.
