About L T M Upholstery Studio

L T M Upholstery Studio in Colorado Springs stands out by combining an in-house fabric store with full furniture reupholstery services. Most upholstery shops source fabric through catalogs or limited inventory, but having a fabric retail component on-site means customers can actually see and feel their options before committing. Colorado Springs has a creative, design-conscious population, and a studio format appeals to homeowners and interior designers who want more input into the material selection process. The shop's dual nature makes it a destination, not just a service stop.

Services & Process

The fabric store side of the business gives customers access to upholstery-grade textiles, including performance fabrics, velvets, linens, leather alternatives, and specialty weaves suited to different furniture types and lifestyle needs. The reupholstery services cover sofas, sectionals, accent chairs, headboards, window seats, and dining furniture. Because fabric selection happens in-house, customers can drape samples over their phone photos, compare textures side by side, and get guidance from staff who understand how each material performs over time. This removes a lot of the guesswork that comes with choosing fabric from a small swatch book.

Service Area

L T M Upholstery Studio serves Colorado Springs and the surrounding Pikes Peak region. Interior designers and homeowners from areas like Black Forest, Broadmoor, and Old Colorado City come to the studio for both fabric sourcing and upholstery work. The studio is a practical resource for anyone in El Paso County who wants hands-on involvement in choosing their materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for when choosing upholstery fabric for a sofa with kids and pets?
Performance fabrics with tight weaves and stain-resistant treatments are the most practical choice for high-traffic family furniture. Look for fabrics rated for high rub counts, as this indicates how well they'll hold up to daily friction and cleaning.
How much fabric will I need to reupholster a standard sofa?
A typical three-cushion sofa requires between 12 and 20 yards of fabric depending on the design, the pattern repeat, and whether cushions are included. An upholstery professional can give you a precise yardage estimate once they've seen the piece.
Can I use decorative fabric from a craft store for furniture reupholstery?
Craft store fabric is generally not rated for upholstery use and will wear out much faster than purpose-built upholstery fabric. Upholstery textiles have higher rub counts and are woven specifically to handle the stress and friction that furniture endures daily.
Do you help with fabric selection, or do I need to know what I want before I come in?
A studio with an in-house fabric store is specifically set up to help you choose. Bring photos of your room, any existing colors you're working around, and an open mind. Staff who work with upholstery fabric daily can point you toward options that fit your style and practical needs.
Can I reupholster just the cushions without doing the whole sofa?
Yes, cushion-only recovery is a common request and can significantly refresh a sofa's appearance at a lower cost than full reupholstery. It works best when the body of the sofa's fabric is still in decent condition and just the seat cushions have worn thin or faded.
Are there fabric options that work well in Colorado's dry climate?
Natural fibers like cotton and linen can dry out and become brittle over time in low-humidity environments like Colorado's Front Range. Synthetic blends and performance fabrics tend to hold up better, and conditioning leather regularly is especially important here to prevent cracking.
