Services & Process

The shop handles furniture reupholstery, custom Roman shades, and broader home decor services, which is a combination you don't find at most upholstery shops. Furniture reupholstery covers the full range from dining chairs to sectional sofas, including fabric selection and foam replacement. Roman shades involve custom measuring, fabric coordination, and installation work tailored to each window's dimensions. Together, these services let homeowners refresh upholstered pieces and window treatments in one coordinated project, which is especially useful when redesigning a room.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Roman shades and how are they different from blinds?
Roman shades are fabric window coverings that fold up in horizontal pleats when raised, giving a soft, layered look that blinds can't replicate. They're a popular choice in living rooms and bedrooms where a warmer, more tailored aesthetic is the goal.
Can you help me coordinate my new upholstery fabric with my window shades?
Shops that offer both services are well-positioned to help with this, since they can pull fabric samples from the same supplier relationships and see how materials interact. Coordinating the two is one of the real advantages of working with a shop that does both.
How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
A piece is generally worth reupholstering if the frame is solid and the bones are good, since a sturdy frame often outlasts multiple rounds of fabric. If the frame is broken or the construction is flimsy, replacement might make more sense than investing in new fabric.
Do Roman shades work well in kitchens or humid spaces?
Fabric shades can work in kitchens and bathrooms if you choose moisture-resistant or easy-clean fabrics. A shop can point you toward appropriate materials for those environments so the shades hold up well over time.
How long does it take to have custom Roman shades made?
Custom window treatments generally take two to four weeks from fabric selection to installation, though timelines vary by shop workload and fabric availability. It's worth asking for a specific estimate when you place your order so you can plan accordingly.
Can you reupholster outdoor furniture as well as indoor pieces?
Outdoor reupholstery requires different materials, specifically UV-resistant and moisture-tolerant fabrics like Sunbrella, that can handle the elements. Not all shops carry these materials, so it's worth asking specifically about outdoor work when you call.
