About Inside Out upholstery and Design

Inside Out Upholstery and Design is located in Essex Junction, Vermont, one of the busier suburban communities just outside Burlington in Chittenden County. The shop combines furniture reupholstery with an in-house fabric store, which sets it apart from most upholstery operations in the state. That combination gives customers a much wider range of design choices rather than picking from a limited sample book. Essex Junction's mix of homeowners, young families, and design-conscious residents makes it a strong market for a shop that puts equal weight on function and aesthetics.

Services & Process

The reupholstery side of the business covers sofas, sectionals, chairs, ottomans, headboards, and custom cushions, with full foam replacement and structural assessment included. The fabric store component means customers can browse and select from a broader inventory of upholstery-grade fabrics, from performance linens to velvets and patterned weaves. This is particularly useful for interior designers working on specific room palettes or clients with particular style requirements. Whether you want something that holds up to daily use by a family or something more refined for a formal sitting room, having the fabric selection on-site speeds up the design process considerably.

Service Area

Inside Out Upholstery and Design serves Essex Junction and the greater Burlington metro area, including Williston, Colchester, South Burlington, and Shelburne. Chittenden County's dense population makes it one of the busier markets for upholstery and design services in Vermont. The shop's location in Essex Junction keeps it accessible whether you're coming from Burlington or from more rural towns to the east.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy fabric from your store without having you do the reupholstery?
Yes, the fabric store operates independently from the upholstery service. You can purchase upholstery-grade fabric for your own project or for another craftsperson to use.
Do you work with interior designers on client projects?
Absolutely. Interior designers regularly use the shop for both fabric sourcing and upholstery work on client pieces. It's worth calling ahead to discuss trade accounts or project timelines.
What's the difference between upholstery fabric and regular home decor fabric?
Upholstery fabric is woven or finished to withstand repeated friction and weight. Regular decor fabric may look similar but can fray, pill, or tear quickly when used on seating, so using the right material matters a lot for longevity.
Can you make custom cushions for a window seat or built-in bench?
Yes, custom cushions are a common request, especially for window seats and built-ins where standard sizes don't fit. Bring your measurements and the shop can help you select a foam density and fabric that suits the application.
How do I know which fabric weight is right for my furniture piece?
The shop staff can guide you based on how the piece will be used. High-traffic seating needs a heavier, tighter weave, while decorative accent chairs can handle lighter fabrics that might otherwise wear quickly.
Do you carry stain-resistant or performance fabrics for families with young kids?
Yes, performance fabrics are one of the most popular categories for customers with kids and pets. These materials are designed to repel spills and resist staining without sacrificing the look of traditional upholstery fabric.
