About Holladay Upholstering

Holladay Upholstering takes its name from the Holladay neighborhood, one of Salt Lake City's more established residential communities with a mix of mid-century homes and well-appointed properties. That context matters because Holladay residents often own quality furniture worth restoring rather than replacing. A shop rooted in this part of the valley understands the clientele, including homeowners who want craftsmanship and aren't just looking for the cheapest option. If you've got a piece that has sentimental or financial value, this kind of established shop is worth a call.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery here covers the full range of residential pieces, from classic wing-back chairs to large sectional sofas and everything in between. The work involves removing old fabric and padding, assessing the frame for any needed repairs, then installing new foam, batting, and the customer's chosen fabric. Dining chair seats and backs are a common smaller job, often completed more quickly than full sofa projects. Decorative details like button tufting, piping, and nailhead trim can be added or replicated during the reupholstery process for customers who want to stay true to an original design.

Service Area

Holladay Upholstering serves Salt Lake City with a natural focus on the east side communities including Holladay, Millcreek, and Cottonwood Heights. Customers from the greater Salt Lake metro area also bring pieces in for restoration. The shop's location makes it convenient for residents along the 39th South corridor and the nearby Wasatch foothills communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you replicate the original style of a mid-century chair when reupholstering it?
Yes, matching original design details like tufting patterns, welt cord placement, and period-appropriate fabric textures is very doable for an experienced upholsterer. Bringing in photos of the original look, or even the original fabric if you have any, helps the shop hit the right result.
How do I know if a piece of furniture is worth reupholstering?
The key factor is frame quality. Solid hardwood frames, hand-tied spring systems, and good joinery are signs a piece will last another generation with fresh fabric. If the frame is particleboard or the springs are shot without a clear fix, replacement might make more financial sense.
Can nailhead trim be added during reupholstery if it wasn't there originally?
Absolutely. Nailhead trim is a popular decorative addition and can be applied in a variety of patterns, from a simple border to full decorative designs. Just mention it when you discuss your project so the shop can factor it into the estimate.
What's the best fabric choice for a formal living room chair that doesn't get heavy use?
For low-traffic formal pieces, you have the widest range of options including delicate wovens, velvets, and decorative fabrics that might not hold up to daily wear. Your upholsterer can show you options that work with the chair's style while meeting your look preferences.
Do you handle headboard reupholstery for bedrooms?
Yes, headboards are a common project and can dramatically change the look of a bedroom. The process involves recovering the padded surface with your chosen fabric, and options range from simple smooth finishes to tufted designs with buttons.
Can I bring fabric I purchased myself for the project?
Most upholstery shops accept customer-supplied fabric, though you'll want to confirm this in advance and make sure you have enough yardage. The shop can tell you exactly how much fabric your piece requires so you don't run short.
