About Custom Made Upholstery

Custom Made Upholstery operates in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, a town just east of Worcester that's grown significantly over the past decade with new residential developments alongside older established neighborhoods. That mix of housing styles, from older colonials to newer construction, means homeowners often want upholstery work that reflects their specific tastes rather than off-the-shelf options. A shop with "custom" in its name signals an emphasis on tailored work, whether that's an unusual fabric choice, a non-standard furniture size, or a particular finish. Shrewsbury's proximity to Route 9 and I-290 makes it convenient for customers across the region.

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Custom upholstery work goes beyond simply recovering an existing piece. It can mean rebuilding cushions to a specific firmness, adjusting the profile of an arm or back, or creating entirely new upholstered furniture built to your dimensions. Standard reupholstery services cover sofas, sectionals, chairs, ottomans, and dining seating. Fabric selection is a significant part of the process, with options including performance fabrics suited for households with kids or pets, decorative wovens, leather and faux leather alternatives, and specialty materials for particular looks.

Service Area

Custom Made Upholstery serves Shrewsbury and the surrounding communities along the Route 9 corridor. Customers from Worcester, Northborough, Westborough, and Grafton find the Shrewsbury location easily accessible. The shop draws clients from across Central and Eastern Massachusetts who are looking for custom-level work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between custom upholstery and standard reupholstery?
Standard reupholstery replaces the fabric and padding on an existing piece while keeping the original structure intact. Custom upholstery can involve modifying the design, changing dimensions, rebuilding the frame, or creating something entirely new. It's a higher level of involvement and usually costs more, but it gets you exactly what you want.
Can I get a sectional sofa reupholstered in Shrewsbury?
Yes, sectionals are a common project for upholstery shops, though they're more labor-intensive than a single sofa because of the multiple pieces and seams involved. The fabric needs to match consistently across all sections, so planning the yardage carefully is important.
What fabrics hold up best for families with young children or pets?
Performance fabrics like Crypton, Sunbrella, or tightly woven synthetic blends are popular choices for busy households because they resist stains and are easy to clean. Leather and faux leather are also durable options. The shop can walk you through the trade-offs between durability, feel, and appearance.
Can upholstery shops in Shrewsbury work with interior designers?
Most shops welcome designer referrals and are comfortable working from design specifications, COM (customer's own material), or collaborating on fabric selection. If you're working with a designer on a project, ask about trade pricing and project timelines upfront.
How do I measure how much fabric I need for a project?
Fabric requirements depend on the size of the piece, the pattern repeat of the fabric, and how many cushions are involved. For most projects, the upholstery shop will calculate the yardage needed once they've assessed the piece. If you're supplying your own fabric, ask them for the exact requirement before purchasing.
Can I request a specific cushion firmness when reupholstering?
Yes, and this is one of the real advantages of working with an upholstery shop versus buying new furniture. You can specify the type and density of foam, whether you want a fiber wrap for a softer feel, or even down-blend filling. The shop can match what you have or change it entirely.
