About Canvas Supply Company

Canvas Supply Company is a Seattle, Washington business with a 4.2 rating from 17 reviews, focusing on furniture reupholstery for residential and commercial clients throughout the city. Seattle's dense housing stock, from Capitol Hill apartments to Queen Anne Victorians, creates constant demand for upholstery work as residents look to extend the life of quality furniture rather than haul pieces out. With 17 reviews and a solid rating, they've built a track record worth paying attention to in a market where upholstery shops aren't always easy to evaluate.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core offering here, covering sofas, chairs, ottomans, headboards, and commercial seating. The process involves stripping old fabric down to the frame, inspecting and repairing springs or webbing as needed, replacing foam or batting, and finishing with the customer's chosen fabric. Fabric selection is a significant part of the service, with options typically ranging from performance fabrics suited for high-traffic use to natural linens and velvets for lower-traffic rooms. Commercial clients like restaurants or offices can also work with the shop to find durable, cleanable materials for professional settings.

Service Area

Canvas Supply Company operates out of Seattle and serves clients across King County, including neighborhoods throughout the city and nearby communities like Shoreline, Kenmore, and Renton. Interior designers working on projects across the greater Seattle metro also bring pieces in from further afield.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Most upholstered pieces with a solid frame can be redone, including sofas, loveseats, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, window seats, and headboards. Items with severe structural damage may need frame repair first, which the shop can assess when you bring the piece in.
How much fabric will I need for my sofa?
The yardage depends on the sofa's size, the number of cushions, and whether the fabric has a pattern repeat that requires matching. A standard three-seat sofa typically needs 12 to 18 yards, but your upholsterer will give you a precise number after measuring.
Can you repair just a section of a sofa rather than reupholstering the whole thing?
Partial repairs are possible in some cases, particularly for small tears or worn armrests. However, matching existing fabric exactly can be difficult if it's been discontinued, so a full reupholster often gives a cleaner and more consistent result.
What's a good fabric choice for a household with pets?
Performance fabrics, particularly those with a tight weave or treated with stain resistance, hold up well to pet hair and occasional accidents. Leather and faux leather are also popular with pet owners because they're easy to wipe clean.
Do you work with interior designers on client projects?
Yes, many upholstery shops in Seattle regularly collaborate with interior designers and decorators. It's worth calling ahead to discuss your project timeline and whether they can accommodate COM (customer's own material) if your designer has already sourced fabric.
Is reupholstering more cost-effective than buying new furniture?
For well-built pieces, reupholstering often costs less than buying a comparable new item of the same quality. It also lets you keep furniture with sentimental value or a frame that's simply better constructed than what's available at retail today.
