Services & Process

As both a fabric store and upholstery service, Davis Upholstery gives customers the ability to browse and select fabrics in person before committing to a project. The reupholstery side covers standard residential furniture including sofas, chairs, ottomans, and dining seat cushions. Having fabric inventory on-site means you can see and feel the actual material rather than choosing from small swatches, which makes a real difference when you're coordinating with existing home decor. The shop can also advise on fabric weight, durability, and care requirements based on how the piece will be used.

Service Area

Davis Upholstery primarily serves Davis and surrounding Yolo County, including Woodland and West Sacramento. The shop is convenient for residents of the greater Sacramento region who prefer a smaller-town shop experience. Its location near UC Davis also makes it a go-to for campus-area housing and commercial clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy fabric from Davis Upholstery without having a reupholstery project done?
Yes, the fabric store side of the business sells materials independently of the upholstery services. This is useful for DIY projects, crafts, or anyone who just needs quality upholstery fabric by the yard.
How much fabric will I need to reupholster a standard armchair?
A typical armchair requires between four and seven yards of fabric, depending on the size of the piece and whether you're matching a pattern. Staff at the shop can give you a more precise estimate once they've seen or measured your chair.
Do you work with rental property furniture in Davis?
Yes, rental property furniture is a common project type. Reupholstering dining chairs or sofas between tenants can be more cost-effective than buying replacements, especially for higher-quality pieces.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstery involves removing the old fabric and permanently attaching new material directly to the furniture frame. Slipcovers are removable fabric covers that go over the existing upholstery and are better suited for temporary changes or easy cleaning.
Can antique or vintage furniture be reupholstered without losing its character?
Experienced upholsterers know how to preserve the original lines and details of antique pieces while replacing worn fabric and cushioning. Choosing a period-appropriate fabric pattern can actually enhance the piece's original aesthetic.
How do I care for newly upholstered furniture to make it last?
Regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment removes dust and debris that can break down fabric fibers over time. Treating fabric with a protective spray and keeping furniture out of direct sunlight also extends the life of new upholstery significantly.
