Services & Process

Oscar's Design Upholstery operates as both a furniture store and a reupholstery shop, which means customers can shop for new furniture and arrange custom upholstery work in the same location. Their reupholstery services cover the standard range including sofas, chairs, sectionals, and specialty pieces, with fabric selection done on-site. Having a furniture retail side alongside the workshop gives their team a strong visual sense of how finished pieces should look and how different fabrics perform on various furniture styles. Commercial clients like property managers and hospitality businesses often appreciate a vendor who can handle both supply and restoration.

Service Area

Oscar's Design Upholstery is based in Elmwood and serves customers across the greater New Orleans metro area including Metairie, Kenner, and the West Bank communities. The Elmwood location is convenient for customers coming from the Earhart Expressway or Jefferson Highway corridors. Commercial clients from the Elmwood business district itself are also a natural fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy new furniture and have it custom upholstered at the same shop?
Yes, a furniture store that also does upholstery can often let you select a frame and have it covered in the fabric of your choice rather than accepting only what's in stock. This gives you more control over the final look without going fully custom.
Do you handle commercial upholstery projects for offices or rental properties?
Many upholstery shops with furniture retail experience are well-suited to commercial projects since they understand volume, timelines, and durability requirements. It's worth calling to discuss the scope and whether they can handle multiple pieces on a set schedule.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstering means the fabric is permanently applied to the piece with staples, tacks, and stitching, giving a clean tailored look. Slipcovers are removable fabric covers that fit over the existing upholstery, which are easier to wash but often look less refined.
How do I decide whether to reupholster or just buy something new?
If the frame is solid and the piece has good bones or sentimental value, reupholstering usually makes more financial sense than buying a comparable quality new item. A shop that sells furniture can help you honestly compare the two options side by side.
Can you reupholster sectional sofas, or only individual pieces?
Sectionals can absolutely be reupholstered, though they're more complex because each section needs to align and connect properly when the work is done. Make sure to mention it's a sectional upfront so the shop can account for the extra coordination in the quote.
What fabric is most durable for high-traffic seating areas?
Fabrics with a high rub count, like commercial-grade polyester or tightly woven microfiber, hold up best in high-traffic situations. Leather and vinyl are also very durable and easy to clean, making them popular choices for both households with kids and commercial settings.
