Frequently Asked Questions

Can furniture be reupholstered to match a specific interior design style?
Absolutely. Fabric selection is one of the most exciting parts of a reupholstery project because it lets you completely change the character of a piece. A traditional wingback chair can be modernized with a graphic print, or a contemporary sofa can be given a warm, classic feel with a neutral woven fabric. Bring photos of your room for reference when you visit the shop.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A solid hardwood frame in good condition is almost always worth the investment of new upholstery. Look at the legs, joints, and overall construction. If the frame wiggles, creaks, or has major cracks, ask the shop whether repairs are feasible before committing to reupholstery. Frames made from quality materials in the mid-20th century are often better built than comparable new furniture today.
Does humidity in the Statesville area affect fabric choices?
North Carolina's climate can accelerate wear on certain fabrics, particularly those prone to mildew or fading. Performance fabrics with moisture-resistant properties are a smart choice for homes near Lake Norman or for furniture in screen porches and sunrooms. Your upholsterer can point you toward materials that handle the local climate well.
How many yards of fabric does it take to reupholster a sofa?
A standard three-cushion sofa typically requires 12 to 20 yards of fabric depending on its size and the pattern repeat of your chosen material. Large patterns with long repeats require extra yardage to align properly across the piece. Your upholsterer will calculate the exact amount needed after measuring your specific sofa.
Can dining room chair seats be reupholstered separately from the rest of the chair?
Yes, dining chair seats are one of the most straightforward upholstery jobs because many are drop-in cushions that simply unscrew from the frame. Recovering a set of six dining chairs is often quicker and less expensive than most people expect. If the seats are attached, the shop will need the whole chair, but it's still a manageable job.
What should I do to prepare my furniture before dropping it off?
Remove any cushions, pillows, or throws, and make sure the piece is free of personal items stored in drawers or underneath cushions. It's helpful to clean visible dirt off the piece, though the shop will handle more thorough prep during the teardown process. Taking a few photos of the piece beforehand gives you a reference point for comparing the before and after.
