Services & Process

Katy's Klassic handles custom residential reupholstery, which means you can request specific foam densities, button tufting patterns, welting details, and unique fabric combinations that off-the-shelf furniture can't offer. On the commercial side, the shop works with contract-grade fabrics engineered to withstand heavy, repeated use in public settings like offices, hotels, and restaurants. Custom work often involves close collaboration on design choices, with the craftsperson helping you match a fabric to existing decor or a brand color scheme. Both types of projects benefit from the shop's ability to tailor every detail to your needs.

Service Area

Katy's Klassic Custom and Commercial Upholstery serves Memphis, Tennessee and surrounding communities throughout the Mid-South region. Commercial clients from across Shelby County, including businesses in East Memphis and the Medical District, can tap into their services. Residential customers in nearby Mississippi and Arkansas communities close to Memphis are also within a reasonable distance for custom work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes commercial upholstery fabric different from residential fabric?
Commercial or contract-grade fabrics are woven more tightly and treated to resist staining, fading, and abrasion at a much higher level than typical home furnishing fabrics. They're rated by the number of double rubs, a test measuring how many times a fabric can be rubbed before showing wear. For restaurant or office seating, you'd typically want a fabric rated above 100,000 double rubs.
Can Katy's Klassic handle large-scale restaurant or hotel seating projects?
Commercial upholstery shops that advertise commercial services are generally equipped to take on multi-piece projects for hospitality businesses. For large orders, it's best to contact the shop early with details on the number of pieces, preferred materials, and your deadline. Planning ahead allows the shop to source materials in bulk and schedule labor accordingly.
What is button tufting and can I request it on any piece?
Button tufting involves pulling fabric into a pattern of deep dimples secured by buttons, creating a classic, formal look often seen on headboards, sofas, and lounge chairs. It can be added to most pieces with enough padded surface area, though it does add labor cost and time. Discuss this option during your consultation so the shop can assess feasibility.
How do I maintain custom upholstered furniture to make it last longer?
Regular vacuuming and prompt spot cleaning when spills happen are the two most effective habits. Rotate cushions periodically to even out wear, and keep upholstered pieces out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. For commercial seating, wiping down with an appropriate fabric cleaner weekly can dramatically extend the life of the material.
Can I get a custom piece built from scratch rather than reupholstering existing furniture?
Some upholstery shops do offer custom furniture building in addition to reupholstery, though this depends on the shop's capabilities and your specific request. Contact Katy's Klassic directly to ask whether they offer custom-built upholstered pieces. If they don't build from scratch, they may be able to refer you to a woodworker who can construct the frame before they apply the upholstery.
How long do commercial upholstery projects typically take for a multi-piece order?
Timeline depends heavily on the number of pieces, the complexity of the design, and material availability. A set of 20 restaurant chairs in a standard fabric might take two to four weeks, while more complex booth seating could take longer. Getting a clear delivery timeline in writing before committing to a project protects both you and the shop.
