Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between decorative fabric and upholstery fabric?
Upholstery fabric is woven or constructed to withstand friction, weight, and regular use. Decorative fabric is often lighter and not designed for seating applications, so it can wear out quickly or even tear when used on furniture.
Can Fabric Place in Grand Rapids match a fabric pattern across multiple cushions?
Pattern matching is a standard part of professional reupholstery. The shop accounts for repeat patterns when calculating yardage, which is one reason an in-person estimate is more accurate than a rough guess.
Is faux leather a good choice for reupholstering a sofa?
Faux leather is durable, easy to clean, and significantly less expensive than genuine leather. It works well for high-use furniture, though it can crack over time in very hot or dry environments, so it's worth asking about the specific product's durability rating.
How do I know how many yards of fabric I need before visiting the shop?
You don't need to know ahead of time. Bring your furniture or detailed photos, and the shop can measure and calculate the exact yardage needed, factoring in any pattern repeats or special cuts.
Does the Grand Rapids Fabric Place location do repairs, or only full reupholstery?
It's worth calling to ask about the specific scope of repairs they handle. Many fabric and reupholstery shops can do targeted fixes like re-covering worn cushions or repairing small tears alongside full reupholstery projects.
What's the best fabric choice for a vintage or mid-century style chair?
Boucle, wool blends, and tightly woven tweeds complement mid-century furniture shapes well. Bold geometric patterns or solid jewel tones in velvet are also popular choices that honor the period style while feeling fresh.
