What is Upholstery?

At its core, upholstery is the art of constructing and restoring furniture—like seats, lounges, and more—using a thoughtful combination of padding, springs, webbing, and fabric or leather coverings.

In today’s world of fast furniture and mass production, finding pieces that truly stand the test of time can be difficult. That’s why more people are turning to upcycling and reupholstering as a sustainable alternative to buying new.

By choosing to restore rather than replace, we help reduce landfill waste, conserve resources, and honour the craftsmanship of well-made furniture. This eco-conscious approach not only minimizes our environmental footprint but also breathes new life into cherished items—ensuring they can be enjoyed for generations to come.

At The Little Upholstery Shop, we’re proud to be part of this movement—preserving the past, protecting the future.

How much will my job cost?

This is a question that's asked everyday.

The answer depends on several factors.

1. How much fabric do you need to do the job.

2. The cost of the chosen fabric per meter.

3. Does you furniture require any repairs on its structure (springs, webbing, replacement foam or padding).

4. The labour hours involved.

How long will it take to get my job done?

The turnaround time for our services is largely dependent on the current demand for our craft. We operate on a job card system, where each job is assigned a number in the queue once the deposit for the fabric has been paid and the quote has been accepted.

While we strive to attend to each job as quickly as possible, there may be times when you may need to wait for several weeks before we can begin work on your project. To avoid delays, we recommend booking your job with us as soon as possible.

It's important to note that quality workmanship cannot be rushed. We take pride in delivering exceptional craftsmanship that meets your expectations, and we will never compromise on the quality of our work to meet a deadline. Rest assured, we will work diligently to complete your project to the highest standard, while keeping you informed of its progress every step of the way.
