Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at Wulliman's covers the full range of residential pieces, from single accent chairs to large sectional sofas and everything in between.

Fabric selection is a key part of the service, with options ranging from budget-friendly synthetics to premium wovens and performance fabrics designed to handle kids, pets, and daily use. The goal is a finished piece that looks new and lasts for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The key factors are frame quality and sentimental or monetary value. Solid wood frames, quality spring systems, and pieces that were expensive or meaningful when purchased are almost always worth the investment of reupholstery. A shop like Wulliman's can take a quick look and give you an honest assessment.
Can you match the original fabric pattern on my furniture?
Exact fabric matching depends on whether the original material is still in production, which is often not the case for older pieces. An experienced upholsterer can help you find something very close or recommend a complementary option that respects the original design intent.
Do you reupholster headboards and bedroom furniture?
Yes, headboards and upholstered bedroom pieces are standard reupholstery work. They're actually among the more straightforward projects since the shapes tend to be simpler than sofas or armchairs with complex curves.
What's the best fabric for a sofa in a home with pets?
Performance fabrics, tightly woven synthetics, and certain microfibers hold up well in pet households because they resist punctures, shed pet hair more easily, and clean up with less effort. The shop can point you toward specific options based on your pets and how the sofa is used.
How do I prepare my furniture before bringing it to the shop?
You don't need to do anything special before drop-off. Just remove any personal items from cushions or inside the furniture, and the shop will handle the rest from there.
Does reupholstering furniture increase its resale value?
For quality vintage or antique pieces, professional reupholstery can meaningfully increase resale value, especially if the new fabric suits the piece's era and style. For more common contemporary furniture, the value increase may be smaller, but the functional and aesthetic improvement is still significant.
