Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Deconge's focuses on furniture reupholstery, covering pieces ranging from dining chairs and ottomans to full sofas and custom headboards. The work typically includes disassembling the piece, replacing or refreshing the foam and padding, repairing any frame issues, and applying the new fabric with professional-grade stitching and finishing. Customers can expect detailed attention to pattern matching and seam placement, which separates quality upholstery work from quick patch jobs. Antique and heirloom pieces require extra care, and an experienced shop knows how to handle them without compromising original detailing.

Deconge's Furniture is located in Baton Rouge and serves customers throughout East Baton Rouge Parish and neighboring areas. Residents from Old South Baton Rouge, Mid City, and the Bluebonnet corridor regularly use local upholstery shops for both routine repairs and full restoration projects. Customers from the Westside and across the river in Port Allen also find the location accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a trustworthy upholstery shop in Baton Rouge?
Word of mouth is still the most reliable signal in a mid-sized city like Baton Rouge. Ask neighbors, check community Facebook groups, and look for shops that have been around long enough to build a track record. A shop willing to show you past work or provide references is a good sign.
Can antique furniture be reupholstered without losing its original character?
Yes, a skilled upholsterer can work around decorative tack strips, carved wood details, and original framing to preserve the piece's character. Choosing period-appropriate fabrics, like linen, velvet, or tapestry weaves, helps maintain the aesthetic. It's worth discussing the piece's history with the shop before work begins.
What happens to the old fabric and foam when a piece is reupholstered?
The old materials are typically discarded by the shop. If you want to keep any original fabric for sentimental reasons, just let them know before they start. Some customers save a swatch of the original material, especially from family heirloom pieces.
Is leather or fabric better for a sofa in a home with pets?
Both have trade-offs with pets. Leather is easier to wipe clean but scratches from claws. Tightly woven performance fabrics resist snags better and many are also moisture-resistant for accidents. Your upholsterer can help you weigh options based on your specific situation.
Can I reupholster just the cushions on my sofa instead of the whole piece?
Yes, recovering just the seat or back cushions is a common, lower-cost option if the rest of the sofa is still in good shape. The main challenge is finding fabric that matches the existing cover if you're not doing the whole piece at once.
How do I prepare my furniture before bringing it to an upholstery shop?
You don't need to do much beyond removing any personal items from drawers or inside cushion covers. The shop will handle disassembly as part of the job. If the piece has a delivery history or known repairs, it's helpful to mention those when you drop it off.
