About Design Upholstery

Design Upholstery is a Charlotte, North Carolina shop focused specifically on furniture reupholstery, with a 4-star rating from its early reviews. Charlotte's housing market has stayed active for years, and with that comes a steady stream of homeowners looking to refresh existing furniture rather than replace it at retail prices. A focused, single-service shop like this one can often go deeper on craftsmanship than a shop trying to do everything at once. If you have a piece worth saving, this is the kind of place that knows how to save it.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at this level involves a full teardown of the existing piece, inspecting springs, webbing, and frame joints before any new material goes on. Foam and padding are replaced or reshaped to restore the original feel, or improved if the original construction was lacking. Fabric selection is part of the process, with guidance available for clients who aren't sure what will work best for their piece and lifestyle. The finished product is tightly upholstered, properly aligned, and built to hold up the way the original piece should have.

Service Area

Design Upholstery serves clients throughout Charlotte and the greater Mecklenburg County area. Customers from nearby communities like Huntersville, Belmont, and Gastonia have also made the trip in for specialized furniture work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering an older sofa, or should I just buy new?
If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has good proportions, reupholstery is usually worth it, especially compared to buying equivalent quality new. A shop visit or photo assessment can help you decide quickly.
What fabrics hold up best for a sofa used daily?
Tightly woven fabrics with a higher rub count, like performance velvet, canvas, or synthetic blends, tend to last longest on high-use pieces. The shop can walk you through options based on your household's specific needs.
Can Design Upholstery repair a broken frame as part of the project?
Frame repairs are often part of the reupholstery process, since the piece gets fully disassembled anyway. Loose joints, broken legs, or weakened corner blocks can typically be addressed before new fabric goes on.
How do I get a quote for my furniture?
Calling (704) 376-7754 to describe the piece or schedule a drop-off assessment is the best starting point. Clear photos of all sides of the furniture can also help the shop give you a ballpark before you make the trip.
Do you work on dining chairs as well as larger upholstered pieces?
Yes, dining chairs are a common project and can often be done in sets efficiently. Recovering a set of six chairs with a durable fabric is a popular way to refresh a dining room without replacing the whole table set.
How long will the reupholstery work last?
With quality fabric and proper construction, a professionally reupholstered piece should last 10 to 15 years or more with normal use. Fabric choice and how hard the piece gets used are the biggest factors.
