Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of furniture does Decorators Workshop typically reupholster?
Most residential jobs include sofas, loveseats, armchairs, ottomans, dining chair sets, and headboards. The shop also handles decorative accent pieces like benches and window seats that are common in older Livingston County homes.
How do I choose the right fabric for my furniture?
Think about how the piece is used daily, what colors are already in the room, and how much wear it will see. An upholsterer can walk you through the difference between fabric grades and help you pick something that balances looks, durability, and cost.
Can antique furniture be reupholstered without losing its value?
Yes, in most cases, reupholstering an antique with period-appropriate fabrics and techniques actually preserves or enhances its value. It's a good idea to mention the piece's age and any known history when you bring it in so the upholsterer can advise accordingly.
Do I need an appointment to bring a piece in for a quote?
Calling ahead is always a good idea, even if the shop accepts walk-ins. It ensures someone is available to give the piece a proper look and give you an accurate estimate rather than a rushed guess.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstering involves permanently replacing the fabric and often the padding, which gives a cleaner, more tailored result. Slipcovers are removable covers that sit over existing upholstery, which is more affordable but less refined-looking.
How much fabric will I need for a standard armchair?
A typical armchair requires between three and five yards of fabric, depending on its size, the style of arms, and whether the fabric has a pattern that needs to be matched. Your upholsterer will calculate the exact amount once they've measured the piece.
