Services & Process

The work involves carefully removing old fabric, assessing padding and support beneath the surface, and applying new material with clean, finished seams. Customers typically choose from a range of fabric styles including bold prints, textured weaves, and solid upholstery-grade materials that fit the New Orleans aesthetic. For clients with a specific vision, the shop's design sensibility helps translate ideas into finished pieces that look intentional rather than just repaired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I request a specific fabric pattern or style for my reupholstery project?
Yes, and shops with a design focus like Threadz Nola actively encourage input on fabric choice. You can bring fabric swatches, inspiration photos, or describe a look and work with the shop to find the right match.
How do I choose the right fabric for a piece that gets heavy daily use?
High-traffic pieces benefit from tightly woven, durable fabrics with a high rub count rating. Performance fabrics that resist staining and wear are a smart choice for family living rooms or pieces that see regular use.
Can reupholstery completely change the look of a piece, not just restore it?
Absolutely. Choosing a bold new fabric, contrasting welt cord, or updated cushion style can transform a piece visually. Many customers use reupholstery as an opportunity to redesign rather than just repair.
What happens if the frame or springs are damaged underneath the fabric?
A good upholsterer will inspect the frame and internal structure before starting the fabric work. If repairs are needed, they'll let you know and factor that into the cost and timeline.
Is Gretna a good area to find creative upholstery work near New Orleans?
Yes, the West Bank has several skilled upholstery shops that serve the broader New Orleans design community. Gretna in particular has craftspeople who understand the aesthetic of the region's older homes and design culture.
How many yards of fabric do I need for a typical armchair?
A standard armchair usually requires four to six yards of fabric depending on the pattern repeat and the complexity of the design. Your upholsterer will calculate the exact amount based on your specific piece before you purchase material.
