“Bridget reupholstered my old platform rocker and it is gorgeous! It had been reupholstered twice before and had lots of holes from old nails. But the end result is so pretty! She does beautiful work.”

Meet the upholsterer
A love of fabric, color and pattern, stitched into every piece.

“She rebuilt an old chaise lounge that has been in the family for more than 50 years. It was in horrible condition, but she brought it back to life. Friendly, extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.”

FAQ
Good questions, honest answers
Is it worth reupholstering instead of buying new?
Usually, yes, especially for well-built older pieces. Solid hardwood frames, eight-way hand-tied springs and family heirlooms are often better than what you can buy today. New fabric, padding and webbing give you a piece that fits your style and will last for years.
Can I bring my own fabric?
Absolutely. Many clients pick their own fabric, leather or vinyl. Bridgette will tell you how many yards you need for your piece so you don’t over-buy, and she can point you toward fabrics that will hold up to how you live.
How do I get an estimate?
Call 614-313-5792 during business hours, or use the contact form to upload a few photos of your piece. Every piece of furniture is built differently, so photos help give you an accurate price.
Do you quote by text message?
No. To keep things personal and accurate, Bridgette doesn’t answer texts from unknown numbers or quote by text. Please call, or send photos through the contact page.
Do you work on restaurant and commercial seating?
Yes. From a single torn booth seat to a whole dining room, Upholstery Flair makes replacement booth covers, dining chair seats and lobby seating for restaurants and businesses across Columbus.
Can you replace foam in cushions?
Yes. Flat or worn-out cushions can get new foam and batting, and they can be recovered at the same time for a fresh, comfortable seat. Outdoor cushions are welcome too.
Have a piece that deserves a second life?
Call Bridgette for an honest estimate, or send a few photos and get a quote back. No job is too big or too small.
