Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at a shop like Something Nice Upholstery typically covers sofas, loveseats, armchairs, recliners, ottomans, and dining chairs. The work involves removing the existing fabric, evaluating and replacing the internal cushioning or padding as needed, and applying new fabric that's cut and sewn to fit the piece correctly. Customers usually get to select from a range of fabric options including patterns, solids, and textures suited to their home's style. Good upholstery work restores both the appearance and the comfort of a piece, not just one or the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster a recliner, or is that too complicated?
Recliners are more complex than standard chairs because of the mechanism inside, but experienced upholsterers handle them regularly. The fabric has to be cut and fitted around the moving parts while still allowing the recliner to function properly. Expect to pay a bit more for a recliner than a standard armchair because of the added complexity.
How do I know what fabric will work best for my sofa?
The right fabric depends on how the sofa gets used. Homes with kids or pets benefit from tightly woven, stain-resistant fabrics rated for high durability, while a formal living room piece can handle more delicate options like linen or velvet. The shop can walk you through the trade-offs when you look at samples together.
Is it possible to change the style of a piece when reupholstering it?
To some extent, yes. Changing the fabric color or pattern can dramatically shift the look of a piece, and a skilled upholsterer can sometimes add or remove button tufting or trim details. Structural changes to the shape of the furniture itself aren't typically part of a standard reupholstery job.
How do I prepare my furniture before dropping it off?
Most shops just ask that you remove any personal items from cushions or drawers and that the piece is reasonably clean. You don't need to do anything else to prepare it since the upholsterer will strip it down as part of the process. If it has special sentimental details like original buttons or trim you want saved, mention that upfront.
What's the average lifespan of a professional reupholstery job?
A well-done reupholstery job using quality fabric should last 10 to 20 years with normal use and basic care. Durability depends heavily on the fabric choice, how much daily use the piece gets, and whether pets or kids are involved. Choosing a higher-grade fabric at the start tends to pay off over time.
Do upholstery shops in rural Indiana tend to have longer wait times?
It varies by shop and season, but smaller operations with one or two craftspeople can sometimes book out several weeks in advance, especially in spring and fall when people tend to tackle home projects. Calling ahead to check availability before you're in a hurry to get the piece back is always a smart move.
