Services & Process

Velvet King combines two things most shops keep separate: a retail fabric selection and professional reupholstery services. On the fabric side, customers can browse and purchase materials suited for furniture projects, including velvets, linens, faux leathers, and patterned textiles. The reupholstery side puts those fabrics to work, with craftsmen who strip down furniture frames, replace worn padding and webbing, and apply new fabric with precision. This dual model means you're not guessing whether a fabric will look good on your piece. You can see it, feel it, and have it installed all in the same place.

Service Area

Velvet King serves customers throughout Dearborn and the surrounding communities in Wayne County. The shop is conveniently accessible for residents of nearby areas like Dearborn Heights, Allen Park, and Detroit who are looking for fabric and upholstery services in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy fabric from Velvet King without using their upholstery service?
Yes, as a fabric store, Velvet King sells materials directly to customers who may be doing their own projects. This makes it a useful stop for DIY upholsterers, sewers, and crafters in the Dearborn area.
What fabric types are typically available for reupholstery projects?
Common options include velvet, chenille, linen, faux leather, microfiber, and various woven patterns. The right choice depends on the piece, how much use it gets, and the aesthetic you're going for.
How do I know how much fabric I need for a reupholstery project?
The amount varies significantly based on the size and style of the piece. For a standard sofa, you might need anywhere from 12 to 20 yards, while a dining chair might only need one or two. The staff at a shop like this can help you calculate accurately.
Is Velvet King a good option for interior designers sourcing fabric in the Detroit area?
A shop that combines retail fabric with professional upholstery services is often a go-to resource for local designers. It simplifies the sourcing and installation process considerably compared to coordinating between separate vendors.
What should I consider when choosing upholstery fabric for a high-traffic piece?
Durability is the top priority for pieces used daily. Look for fabrics with a high double rub count, and consider performance fabrics that resist staining and wear better than natural fibers in demanding conditions.
Can Velvet King reupholster vintage or uniquely shaped furniture?
Experienced upholsterers regularly work with non-standard shapes, curved backs, tufted designs, and vintage pieces. It's always a good idea to bring in the piece or detailed photos so the shop can assess the complexity before quoting.
