Custom Upholstery
Custom upholstery goes beyond re-covering existing furniture. It includes designing and building pieces to specific requirements or modifying existing furniture for improved ergonomics, style, and functionality.
Custom projects require precise measurement, prototyping, and material selection. Our experienced team manages every step, ensuring your custom upholstery integrates with your space and intended use.
Why Custom Upholstery Matters
Custom upholstery delivers solutions unavailable off-the-shelf: perfect fit for awkward spaces, unique finishes, and materials chosen for specific use-cases (commercial durability, outdoor upholstery, or luxury residential interiors).

Our Custom Upholstery Process
Consultation & Site Survey
We start with a site visit or detailed measurements. For built-ins, careful measurement and coordination with millwork and contractors is key to seamless integration.
Design Development
We collaborate on design sketches, fabric and trim selections, and functional specifications (firmness, removable covers, stain resistance).
Prototyping & Mockups
For complex pieces, we create mockups or scale drawings so that proportions, comfort, and aesthetics can be validated before production.
Fabric & Material Sourcing
We source materials that meet your aesthetic and performance criteria—including contract-grade textiles, flame-retardant composites, and eco-friendly options.
Production
Custom pieces are hand-made in our shop, with attention to seam placements, pattern repeats, and finishing details. Woodworkers and upholsterers work together for integrated results.
Installation & Final Touches
We manage delivery and on-site installation, securing built-ins and ensuring alignment with surrounding finishes. Final inspections and client approvals complete the project.
Collaborating with Designers and Contractors
We routinely work with interior designers and general contractors during the pre-construction and renovation phases. Our team can provide:
Measured drawings and CAD details for millwork coordination
Fabric and finish recommendations to meet interior schemes
Lead times and production schedules to sync with overall project timelines
On-site installation and adjustments
Commercial and Contract Custom Upholstery
Commercial projects often involve expanded requirements:
Flame retardancy and compliance with local codes
Heavy-duty upholstery techniques (reinforced stitching, double welting)
Long-term maintenance planning and replacement cycles
Matching large orders across dye lots for consistency
We provide samples, test swatches, and lab reports when required.
Budgeting and Timelines
Custom upholstery requires planning. Pricing depends on scope, materials, and complexity. Typical timelines range from 3–8 weeks for most custom residential pieces, longer for large commercial orders. We provide estimates with milestones and maintain communication through the build.
Quality Assurance and Warranty
- Documenting all specifications and approvals
- Using quality materials sourced from reputable suppliers
