About Colonial Upholstery and Design

Colonial Upholstery and Design in Newark, Delaware brings together two things that go hand in hand: quality furniture reupholstery and an in-house fabric selection. Newark is home to the University of Delaware and a growing mix of longtime residents and newer homeowners, all of whom eventually need their furniture refreshed. The shop has a 3.0-star rating from a small number of reviews, which means there's room to form your own opinion through a direct conversation. Being able to pick your fabric on the spot, rather than ordering samples and waiting, is a real convenience for people who want to see and feel materials before committing.

Services & Process

Colonial Upholstery and Design handles full furniture reupholstery on pieces ranging from single dining chairs to large sectional sofas, rebuilding padding and covering with fresh materials from their fabric inventory. As a business that also operates as a fabric retailer, they carry a selection of upholstery-grade textiles that customers can browse in person, including wovens, velvets, faux leathers, and patterned options. This dual role means clients can match fabric to existing room colors without waiting for mail-order swatches. The shop can also replace worn foam cores and dacron wrap to restore a piece's original comfort level.

Service Area

Colonial Upholstery and Design serves Newark, Delaware and the surrounding communities throughout northern New Castle County. Customers from Bear, Glasgow, and nearby parts of Maryland near the Delaware border find Newark a convenient stop. The shop's location in a college town means it's accessible to a wide range of residential and rental property clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the benefit of choosing fabric on-site instead of ordering online?
Seeing and touching fabric in person gives you a much better sense of texture, weight, and how the color actually looks under different light conditions. Online swatches and photos can be misleading, so shopping in-store reduces the chance of being disappointed when the finished piece arrives.
Can Colonial Upholstery handle commercial furniture reupholstery for offices or rental properties?
Upholstery shops that serve Newark's mixed residential and commercial community often take on commercial jobs like office chairs, waiting room seating, and apartment furniture. It's worth calling to discuss the scope and quantity of your project to get an accurate quote.
How much does furniture reupholstery typically cost in Newark, DE?
Pricing varies widely based on the piece, fabric choice, and how much structural work is needed. A single dining chair might run $100 to $250, while a full sofa can range from $800 to $1,500 or more depending on size and fabric selection.
Do you work with interior designers who are sourcing fabric for multiple clients?
Many upholstery shops with fabric retail components actively work with local interior designers and offer trade pricing or project-based consultations. It's a good idea to introduce yourself and ask about any designer programs they may have in place.
Can you reupholster just the cushions without doing the whole sofa?
Yes, cushion-only work is a common and more affordable option when the main body of the sofa is still in good shape. The shop will need to assess whether the existing fabric can be matched or whether you'll want to recover all visible cushions for a consistent look.
Are there fabric options that work well for homes with pets?
Pet-friendly fabrics tend to be tightly woven with a low pile, which makes it harder for claws to snag threads and easier to wipe away fur and dander. Crypton, outdoor-grade fabrics, and certain microsuedes are popular choices that hold up well in homes with dogs or cats.
