Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with interior designers bringing client projects?
Upholstery workshops in Buckhead are accustomed to working alongside interior designers and often offer trade pricing or project coordination for design professionals. It's a good idea to discuss your project timeline upfront since designers often have tighter deadlines tied to installation schedules. Bringing specs, COM fabric, and clear notes on any custom details helps move things along.
What does COM mean and how does it work for upholstery projects?
COM stands for customer's own material, meaning you supply the fabric rather than selecting from the shop's inventory. This is common for design projects where a specific textile has already been specified. The shop will tell you how many yards are needed based on the piece and pattern repeat, and it's wise to order ten to fifteen percent extra as a buffer.
Can you match an existing fabric or color on a piece that needs a repair?
Exact fabric matching can be tricky, especially on older pieces where the original fabric has faded or has been discontinued. An experienced shop will work with you to find the closest possible match, and in some cases will recommend reupholstering the entire visible surface so it looks consistent rather than patched.
How do I know if a piece is worth the investment of professional reupholstery?
A solid frame, quality construction, and good proportions are the main things to look for. If the sofa or chair has a well-built hardwood frame with dovetail or dowel joinery, it's almost always worth restoring. A skilled shop can evaluate the frame during an in-person consultation and give you an honest opinion.
What cushion fill options are available and how do they affect comfort?
Common options include high-density foam, foam wrapped in Dacron, down and feather blends, and spring-down combinations. Down and feather blends feel luxurious but require more fluffing, while foam-core cushions hold their shape better over time. The right choice depends on how the piece will be used and your personal comfort preferences.
How should I prepare my furniture before bringing it to the shop?
You don't need to strip anything yourself, but it helps to remove personal items and any loose cushions or pillows. If the piece has sentimental value or fragile decorative elements, point those out when you drop it off so the team handles them accordingly. Taking photos of the original piece before work begins is also a smart idea for your own records.
