You’re not looking to replace furniture that still has good bones. You want it refreshed, updated, and built to handle whatever life throws at it. That’s exactly what happens when you choose professional upholstery services that understand both craftsmanship and modern living.
Your reupholstered pieces become conversation starters. Guests notice the quality immediately – the way the fabric fits perfectly, how comfortable everything feels, and how it all coordinates with your space. More importantly, you get furniture that actually works for your lifestyle.
No more worrying about spills, pet hair, or daily wear. The right upholstery choices mean your investment pays off through years of reliable use, not constant maintenance or premature replacement.
Miami Design Group brings comprehensive design expertise to Middle River Manor’s upholstery needs. While we’re newer to the area, our approach combines traditional craftsmanship with modern solutions that actually make sense for today’s homes.
We understand that Middle River Manor residents value quality and attention to detail. That’s why our upholstery services focus on creating pieces that enhance your daily life, not just look good in photos. Every project gets the same careful attention, whether you’re restoring a family heirloom or creating custom seating for your home office.
We handle everything from fabric selection to final installation, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors or worry about miscommunication between different trades.
We start with an in-home consultation where we assess your furniture’s condition and discuss your vision. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a real conversation about what you need and what’s actually possible with your pieces. We’ll explain any structural repairs needed and help you understand fabric options that match your lifestyle.
Next comes fabric selection, where we bring samples directly to your home so you can see how different materials look in your actual lighting. No guessing about colors or textures that might look completely different once installed. We handle all measurements and ordering to ensure perfect fit.
The actual upholstery work happens in our workshop, where we can control quality and timing. We’ll coordinate pickup and delivery around your schedule, and when we bring your furniture back, it’s ready for immediate use. No waiting for cushions to settle or fabrics to adjust.

Your fabric choice determines how your furniture performs for years to come. We work with performance fabrics that resist stains and wear while still feeling luxurious. These aren’t the stiff, plastic-feeling materials from years past – today’s performance upholstery combines durability with comfort.
For Middle River Manor’s climate, we recommend fabrics that handle humidity without losing their shape or developing odors. Natural fibers like cotton and linen work beautifully when treated properly, while synthetic blends offer easy maintenance for busy households. We’ll explain the real-world differences so you can make informed decisions.
Custom work means we can incorporate details that mass-produced furniture simply can’t offer. Contrast piping, custom cushion firmness, and precise measurements that account for your room’s unique dimensions. These details make the difference between furniture that works okay and pieces that feel like they were made specifically for your space.
Upholstery costs depend on your furniture’s size, condition, and fabric choice. Simple chairs typically start around $400-600, while larger pieces like sofas range from $800-2,000 depending on complexity and materials selected.
The key factors affecting price include structural repairs needed, fabric yardage required, and any custom details you want added. Performance fabrics cost more upfront but often save money long-term through reduced cleaning and longer lifespan. We provide detailed estimates that break down labor and materials so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Most clients find reupholstery costs significantly less than replacing quality furniture with comparable new pieces. Plus, you keep the superior construction that many older pieces offer, which you simply can’t find in today’s mass-produced furniture market.
If your furniture has solid wood frames and quality construction, reupholstery almost always makes more financial sense than replacement. Most furniture built before 1980 uses materials and construction methods that far exceed what you’ll find in today’s retail market.
The decision becomes clearer when you consider what comparable new furniture actually costs. A quality sofa with similar construction to what you already own would likely cost $3,000-8,000 new, while reupholstery typically runs $1,200-2,500 depending on fabric choices.
Beyond cost, reupholstery lets you customize everything – fabric, cushion firmness, even small design details. You get exactly what you want instead of settling for whatever’s available in stores. For pieces with sentimental value, there’s simply no substitute for restoration that preserves the original character while updating functionality.
Most upholstery projects take 3-6 weeks from start to finish, depending on fabric availability and project complexity. Simple reupholstery jobs often complete faster, while custom work or pieces requiring structural repairs may take longer.
The timeline breaks down roughly like this: initial consultation and fabric selection (1 week), fabric ordering and delivery (1-2 weeks), actual upholstery work (1-2 weeks), and final delivery (coordinated with your schedule). We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.
Rush jobs are sometimes possible for an additional fee, but we’ve found that most clients prefer the standard timeline because it allows for proper attention to detail. Quality upholstery work can’t be rushed without compromising results, and you’ll live with these pieces for many years.
Florida’s humidity requires fabrics that resist moisture retention and mold growth while maintaining comfort. Performance fabrics with moisture-wicking properties work exceptionally well, as do natural fibers that have been properly treated for humidity resistance.
Synthetic blends often perform better than pure natural fibers in coastal areas like Middle River Manor. These materials resist fading from UV exposure and handle occasional moisture without developing odors or losing shape. However, treated cotton and linen can also work well when properly selected and maintained.
We avoid fabrics that trap moisture or fade quickly in bright sunlight. Instead, we recommend materials that actually improve with age and regular use. The key is matching fabric choice to your specific room conditions – sun exposure, air conditioning patterns, and daily use levels all factor into the best selection for your situation.
Yes, we handle all furniture transportation as part of our full-service approach. We coordinate pickup at your convenience and ensure careful handling during transport to prevent any damage to your pieces or home.
We use proper equipment and techniques for moving upholstered furniture safely. This includes protective coverings, appropriate lifting methods, and route planning to avoid tight spaces or potential hazards. Most clients find this service essential since upholstered furniture can be awkward and heavy to move safely.
Delivery includes placement in your desired location and removal of all packaging materials. We’ll also do a final quality check with you present to ensure everything meets your expectations before considering the job complete. This end-to-end service eliminates the coordination headaches that come with managing multiple vendors.
Fabric matching depends on the age and availability of your original material, but we can often find very close matches or suggest complementary alternatives that work even better. For newer fabrics, exact matches are usually possible through manufacturer resources.
Custom fabric work opens up significantly more options. We can source materials in specific colors, patterns, or textures that aren’t available through standard retail channels. This approach often yields better results than trying to match discontinued fabrics that may no longer meet current performance standards.
When exact matching isn’t possible, we help you choose coordinating fabrics that actually improve the overall look. Sometimes a fresh approach works better than trying to recreate something that may not have been the best choice originally. Our goal is furniture that looks intentional and cohesive, not like a patchwork of different eras.
