Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery here means stripping a piece down to its frame, assessing the underlying structure, replacing worn padding or springs, and then wrapping everything in a new fabric of your choosing. Customers typically bring in sofas, loveseats, wingback chairs, and dining chairs. The process includes fabric selection from available samples, so you can match existing decor or go in a completely new direction. Spring retying and frame repairs are often handled alongside the reupholstery work if the piece needs structural attention.

Service Area

Kelley Vaughn Upholstery is based in Lexington, Kentucky, serving customers throughout Fayette County and the surrounding Bluegrass region. Clients from nearby communities like Georgetown, Versailles, and Richmond regularly bring pieces in for reupholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering versus just buying new?
A good rule of thumb is to look at the frame. If it's solid hardwood and the piece is well-built, reupholstering almost always makes financial and practical sense. Cheaply made furniture with stapled frames may not justify the cost, but quality pieces can last decades longer with new fabric and padding.
What types of fabric can I choose from for my reupholstery project?
Most upholstery shops work with a wide range of materials including cotton blends, linen, velvet, microfiber, and synthetic performance fabrics. You can also bring your own fabric if you've found something specific you love, though the shop will want to confirm it's suitable for upholstery use.
How long does furniture reupholstery typically take in Lexington?
For standard residential pieces like an armchair or sofa, expect a turnaround of one to three weeks. Larger projects or those requiring frame repairs may take longer. It's smart to call ahead and ask about current lead times before committing to a timeline.
Do I need to remove the furniture legs before bringing my piece in?
No, you don't need to do anything to prepare the furniture before dropping it off. The shop will handle all disassembly as part of the process. Just make sure you can safely transport it to the location.
Can springs and cushion foam be replaced at the same time as the reupholstery?
Yes, and it's often recommended to address those elements together. New fabric over old, flattened foam won't look or feel right for long. Replacing worn springs and upgrading the foam density at the same time gives you a much better finished result.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece during reupholstery, like adding tufting or changing the arm shape?
Minor style modifications like adding button tufting or changing the cushion configuration are often possible. Major structural changes to arm shapes or silhouettes depend on the piece and the shop's capabilities, so it's worth discussing your ideas upfront to see what's feasible.
