Whether you've got a single accent chair or a full living room set to refresh, this kind of specialized shop keeps the focus on fabric and craftsmanship.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Revitalize Upholstery offers furniture reupholstery services covering the full range of residential pieces: sofas, loveseats, recliners, armchairs, dining chairs, headboards, and ottomans. The reupholstery process involves removing existing fabric or leather, evaluating the condition of the padding and springs, replacing or supplementing interior materials as needed, and applying the new fabric chosen by the customer. Customers can typically choose from a variety of fabric types including cotton blends, velvet, faux leather, performance fabrics, and patterned textiles. The result is furniture that looks new and often feels better than it did originally because the padding is freshened at the same time.

Service Area

Revitalize Upholstery serves Baltimore city and the surrounding region, including neighborhoods across North, South, East, and West Baltimore. Customers from nearby areas in Baltimore County also bring pieces in when they want a shop that specializes in reupholstery work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the cushion firmness when I get furniture reupholstered?
Yes, this is one of the best opportunities to adjust how your furniture feels, not just how it looks. You can request higher-density foam for a firmer seat, softer fill for a more relaxed feel, or added layers for a plusher cushion. Tell your upholsterer how you want the piece to feel and they can recommend the right materials.
How do I choose between fabric and faux leather for my furniture?
Faux leather is easier to wipe clean and tends to hold up well in homes with kids or pets, though it can crack or peel over time with heavy use or in very dry environments. Fabric offers more texture options and breathes better, making it more comfortable to sit on for extended periods. Your upholsterer can show you samples of both and explain the trade-offs for your specific piece.
Is reupholstering environmentally better than buying new furniture?
Generally yes. Keeping an existing furniture frame out of a landfill and replacing only the fabric and padding uses fewer resources than manufacturing a brand-new piece. Quality older furniture frames are often made from hardwoods that are more durable than what goes into many new pieces at similar price points. Reupholstering is a straightforward way to reduce furniture waste.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Slipcovers are removable fabric covers that fit over existing upholstery, while reupholstering involves replacing the existing fabric entirely with new material attached to the frame. Slipcovers are less expensive and easy to swap out, but they rarely fit as cleanly as reupholstered furniture and tend to shift with use. Reupholstery gives you a permanent, tailored result that looks like the piece was made that way.
Can headboards and bed frames be reupholstered?
Yes, upholstered headboards are one of the more common residential reupholstery jobs, especially as fabric headboards have become popular in Baltimore bedrooms. The process is similar to furniture reupholstery, involving new padding and fabric stretched and attached to the headboard frame. It's a cost-effective way to update a bedroom's look without replacing the entire bed.
How do I find the right amount of fabric for a reupholstery project?
You don't need to figure this out yourself. Once you bring the piece in, the upholsterer will calculate exactly how many yards you need based on the piece's dimensions and the fabric's repeat pattern if it's a patterned textile. Patterned fabrics require more yardage than solids because the pattern needs to be matched at the seams. Always buy a little extra if you're supplying your own fabric, since running short mid-project causes delays.
