About Expressions by Mary

Expressions by Mary brings together furniture reupholstery and interior design services in Lee's Summit, Missouri, a growing suburb about 20 miles southeast of downtown Kansas City. That combination is genuinely useful because fabric and furniture choices don't happen in isolation. They affect how an entire room looks and feels. Clients here get guidance not just on which material will hold up, but on which colors, textures, and styles will work within their broader home design. Reach them at (816) 525-4775 to set up a consultation.

Services & Process

On the reupholstery side, the shop handles full fabric replacement on sofas, chairs, ottomans, and other upholstered pieces, including the structural work underneath like padding and spring repair. The interior design services extend that work into a fuller room-planning context, helping clients coordinate new fabric choices with wall colors, flooring, window treatments, and other furnishings. This means you're not just picking a fabric swatch in isolation. You're making a decision that fits your whole space. Design consultations can be done in-home or in-shop depending on the project scope.

Service Area

Expressions by Mary operates out of Lee's Summit, Missouri, serving clients throughout the surrounding communities. That includes nearby areas like Blue Springs, Raymore, Belton, and the broader Kansas City metro's southern and eastern suburbs. Interior design projects may extend further depending on the scope of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the benefit of combining interior design with reupholstery services?
When fabric choices are made with the whole room in mind, you avoid the common problem of a newly reupholstered piece that clashes with the room's color scheme or feels out of place. A designer-upholsterer hybrid can help you choose materials that work functionally and visually within your space.
Can I just get reupholstery done without the full interior design service?
Absolutely. Many clients come in with a specific piece that needs new fabric and nothing more. The design expertise is available if you want it, but you're not required to buy a full design package just to have a chair or sofa recovered.
How do I know which fabric is right for my furniture?
A good starting point is thinking about how the piece gets used. High-traffic seating needs a durable fabric with a high rub count, while a decorative accent chair can use something more delicate. A consultation with someone who understands both design and upholstery can help you land on the right choice quickly.
Do you work with interior designers who are already working with a client?
Many upholstery shops that also offer design services are comfortable collaborating with a client's existing designer. It's worth mentioning upfront if you already have a designer in the loop so everyone can coordinate on fabric specs and timelines without confusion.
How much does furniture reupholstery typically cost in the Lee's Summit area?
Pricing depends on the size of the piece, the complexity of the original construction, and the fabric you choose. A dining chair might run a few hundred dollars, while a full sofa can range from several hundred to over a thousand depending on labor and materials. Getting an in-person quote gives you the most accurate number.
Can reupholstery help if my furniture has a strange or custom shape?
Custom and unusual shapes are actually where skilled upholsterers shine. Pattern matching on curved surfaces or tufted backs takes more time but produces results that a mass-produced piece can't replicate. Bring photos or measurements when you inquire so the shop can give you a realistic assessment.
