You’re looking at that favorite chair or sofa, knowing it has good bones but tired fabric. Instead of spending thousands on new furniture that lacks character, you can breathe new life into pieces you already love.
Professional upholstery services give you complete control over the final result. Choose from hundreds of fabric options, from performance materials that handle daily life to luxurious textures that make a statement. Your furniture keeps its original quality construction while getting a completely fresh look.
The difference goes beyond surface-level changes. We rebuild the comfort layers underneath, replacing worn padding and reinforcing support structures. You get furniture that not only looks stunning but feels better than when it was new.
Miami Design Group brings proven expertise to Princeton’s furniture restoration needs. We’ve spent over fifteen years perfecting our craft, with established operations in NYC and Toronto that have served thousands of satisfied clients.
What sets us apart in Princeton is our understanding of Florida living. We know how humidity affects furniture, which fabrics work best in our climate, and how to create pieces that stand up to both daily use and entertaining. Our team works exclusively with top-tier brands and materials, ensuring every project meets the highest standards.
We’re not just about upholstery – we’re your complete design partner. From custom furniture to window treatments and home automation, we understand how every element works together to create spaces that truly feel like home.
We start with an in-home consultation where we assess your furniture’s condition and discuss your vision. You’ll see fabric samples in your actual space, ensuring the final result works perfectly with your existing decor and lighting.
Next, we carefully remove your furniture for restoration in our workshop. We strip away old fabric and padding, inspect the frame for any needed repairs, and rebuild the internal support systems. This is where the real transformation happens – we’re not just changing fabric, we’re restoring the entire structure.
The final phase involves precision upholstery work using your chosen materials. We pay attention to pattern matching, seam placement, and finishing details that make the difference between amateur and professional results. Once complete, we deliver your refreshed furniture and ensure you’re completely satisfied with the transformation.

Our upholstery services cover everything from simple fabric updates to complete furniture restoration. We handle dining chairs, sofas, sectionals, accent chairs, ottomans, and even commercial pieces for Princeton businesses.
Princeton homeowners appreciate our focus on durability and style. Florida’s climate demands fabrics that resist fading, moisture, and wear while maintaining their beauty. We source performance fabrics specifically designed for our environment, plus luxury options for pieces that don’t see heavy daily use.
Each project includes frame inspection and reinforcement when needed. Many older pieces have superior construction compared to today’s mass-produced furniture, but they may need structural updates. We replace worn springs, add support webbing, and upgrade padding systems to ensure your investment lasts for decades.
Upholstery costs vary based on the piece size, fabric choice, and structural work needed. Simple dining chair seats typically start around $150-250 per chair, while sofas range from $800-2,500 depending on size and complexity.
The fabric represents a significant portion of your investment. Standard upholstery fabrics run $20-50 per yard, while premium options can reach $80-150 per yard. A typical sofa requires 12-18 yards, so fabric costs alone might be $400-1,200 before labor.
We provide detailed estimates after examining your furniture in person. This lets us identify any structural repairs needed and give you accurate fabric requirements. Many clients find reupholstering costs significantly less than replacing quality furniture with comparable new pieces.
Most upholstery projects take 3-6 weeks from pickup to delivery, depending on our current workload and the complexity of your piece. Simple chairs might be completed in 2-3 weeks, while intricate sofas or pieces requiring structural work can take 6-8 weeks.
The timeline includes fabric ordering if you choose materials we don’t have in stock. Some specialty fabrics have longer lead times, which we’ll discuss during your consultation. We also factor in any necessary frame repairs or structural improvements.
We keep you updated throughout the process and provide realistic timelines upfront. Rush services are available for urgent projects, though this may involve additional fees. Quality work takes time, and we’d rather deliver exceptional results than rush through your project.
Florida’s humidity and sunshine require fabrics that resist fading, moisture, and mildew while maintaining their appearance. Performance fabrics like Crypton, Sunbrella, and treated microfibers offer excellent durability for high-use pieces.
Natural fibers like cotton and linen work well when properly treated, though they may require more maintenance than synthetic options. Leather remains popular in Florida, especially for pieces in climate-controlled environments. We recommend avoiding untreated natural fibers in humid areas or rooms with limited air circulation.
For pieces that receive direct sunlight, we suggest fabrics with UV protection or window treatments to prevent fading. Our fabric selection includes hundreds of options specifically chosen for Florida’s climate, and we’ll guide you toward materials that match both your style preferences and practical needs.
Absolutely – vintage and antique pieces are often our most rewarding projects. Older furniture typically has superior construction with hardwood frames and hand-tied springs that make reupholstery worthwhile. These pieces were built to last and often just need updated fabric and padding.
We take special care with antique furniture, preserving original construction techniques when possible. Sometimes we need to reinforce joints or replace worn springs, but we maintain the piece’s authentic character. Our craftsmen understand traditional upholstery methods and can replicate original techniques when needed.
Before starting work on valuable antiques, we research the piece and discuss preservation versus modernization with you. Some clients want period-appropriate fabrics and techniques, while others prefer updated comfort with vintage aesthetics. We accommodate both approaches and ensure your heirloom furniture serves your family for generations to come.
Yes, fabric selection is one of our most important services. We bring fabric samples to your home so you can see how colors and patterns look in your actual lighting and alongside your existing decor. This prevents costly mistakes and ensures you’ll love the final result.
Our fabric library includes hundreds of options from performance materials to luxury textiles. We consider your lifestyle, the piece’s intended use, and your design preferences when making recommendations. Families with pets and children need different fabrics than formal living room pieces.
We also help with pattern matching and scale considerations. Large patterns can overwhelm small chairs, while tiny prints might get lost on big sofas. Our experience helps you choose fabrics that enhance your furniture’s proportions and complement your space’s overall design.
We reupholster virtually any piece with fabric or leather surfaces – dining chairs, sofas, sectionals, recliners, ottomans, benches, headboards, and commercial seating. Each type presents unique challenges that our experienced team handles expertly.
Dining chairs are among our most popular services, especially for Princeton homeowners updating their entertaining spaces. We also frequently work on family room furniture that sees heavy daily use. Commercial clients bring us restaurant seating, office chairs, and hospitality furniture that needs refreshing.
Some pieces require special techniques – tufted furniture needs precise button placement, while curved pieces demand careful pattern cutting and fitting. We also handle outdoor furniture with weather-resistant fabrics. If it has upholstery, we can likely restore it to better-than-new condition while preserving its original character and improving its comfort.
