About Old Town Uphostery

Old Town Upholstery is a Columbus, Ohio shop holding a perfect 5.0 rating, though it's early days with just one review so far. The name suggests a connection to classic, traditional upholstery craft, which fits well in a city like Columbus where older neighborhoods are full of furniture worth reviving. Homeowners in areas like Old Town East, Olde Towne East, and German Village often have pieces that were built to last but need new life breathed into them. A shop anchored in quality upholstery technique is a good match for that kind of work.

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at Old Town covers the full range of residential pieces, from small accent chairs to full sofas. The process involves stripping the existing fabric, inspecting and replacing worn foam and padding, and applying new material with attention to detail at seams, corners, and tufting if applicable. Fabric selection is a key part of the conversation, and a good upholsterer will help you think through durability, texture, and color relative to how the piece gets used. For antique or period furniture, the right fabric choice can either honor the original style or update it tastefully.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of furniture does Old Town Upholstery work on?
Most reupholstery shops handle standard residential pieces like sofas, loveseats, armchairs, dining chairs, and ottomans. If you have an unusual piece like a window seat, headboard, or antique settee, it's worth asking upfront whether it falls within their scope.
How do I pick the right fabric for a piece I'm having reupholstered?
Think about how the piece is used, how much traffic it gets, and whether there are pets or children in the home. A performance fabric with a tight weave holds up better in high-use settings, while a velvet or linen might be better suited for a low-traffic accent chair.
Can antique furniture be reupholstered without damaging its value?
It depends on the piece. For museum-quality antiques, it's worth consulting with a specialist first. For vintage furniture that you use and enjoy at home, reupholstery done with period-appropriate materials typically preserves or enhances the piece's appeal.
How far in advance should I plan for a reupholstery project?
Good upholstery shops often have wait times of a few weeks, especially during busy seasons. If you have a deadline, like getting a piece ready before a move or a renovation, reach out well in advance to get on the schedule.
What happens if the frame is damaged when the shop strips the old fabric?
A reputable shop will contact you before doing additional repair work and let you know what they found. Most shops can handle minor structural fixes, but significant damage may affect your original quote and timeline.
Can I supply my own fabric for the job?
Many shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but you'll want to confirm this upfront and make sure you're purchasing enough yardage. The shop can tell you how much fabric the piece requires based on its size and the pattern repeat of your chosen material.
