Services & Process

Custom reupholstery is the foundation of this shop's work, which means clients can request modifications to the original design alongside new fabric. That might include changing the cushion fill from polyester to down-wrapped foam, adding tufting to a plain back, or updating the skirt style on a sofa. Fabric selection is a key part of the process, with options ranging from durable performance weaves to velvet and leather. The shop handles everything from single accent chairs to full living room sets.

Service Area

Alana's Custom Upholstery serves Greenville and the surrounding Upstate South Carolina area. Clients come in from Greer, Travelers Rest, and other nearby communities for custom furniture work that local big-box options simply can't provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the style of my furniture when I reupholster it?
Yes, a custom upholstery shop can often modify design elements like adding or removing tufting, changing the leg style, adjusting skirt length, or reshaping cushions. Talk through your ideas during the initial consultation so the shop can tell you what's feasible with your specific piece.
How do I choose the right fabric for a piece I use every day?
For heavily used furniture, look for fabrics with a high abrasion rating and easy-clean properties. Performance fabrics made from solution-dyed acrylic or polyester blends are popular in homes with kids or pets because they resist staining and hold their color well over time.
Is custom upholstery significantly more expensive than standard reupholstery?
It depends on how much customization you're requesting. Fabric changes or cushion fill upgrades add modest cost, while structural modifications to the frame can increase the price more noticeably. Most shops will itemize custom work in your quote so you can see exactly what each element costs.
Can you reupholster a piece that has sentimental value but a damaged frame?
Frame repair is a standard part of the reupholstery process at most shops. Even pieces with cracked joints, broken legs, or missing structural supports can often be restored before new fabric goes on. Ask for a full assessment before deciding whether the piece is salvageable.
Do you work with interior designers on client projects?
Many custom upholstery shops in Greenville actively work with interior designers and can coordinate fabric sourcing, scheduling, and delivery to fit a larger project timeline. It's worth asking about trade pricing if you're a designer bringing in regular work.
How many yards of fabric will I need for my sofa?
A standard three-cushion sofa typically requires 12 to 18 yards of fabric depending on its size and the fabric's pattern repeat. Larger patterns with big repeats require more yardage to match correctly. The shop will calculate the exact amount once they measure your piece.
