About Atlas Fabrics

Atlas Fabrics in Savannah, Georgia combines a working fabric store with furniture reupholstery services and an antiques focus, making it one of the more complete destinations for anyone who takes their furniture seriously. Savannah's design community is well-developed, with interior designers and homeowners regularly looking for specialty fabrics that aren't available at chain stores. Having a fabric supplier and upholstery shop in the same place streamlines a process that usually involves multiple stops. The antiques connection adds another layer, since sourcing and restoring period pieces requires both fabric knowledge and upholstery skill.

Services & Process

The fabric store side of Atlas Fabrics means customers can browse and select materials directly rather than choosing from a limited sample book, which gives much more control over the final result. Furniture reupholstery covers sofas, chairs, dining seats, headboards, and other upholstered pieces using fabrics either sourced in-store or brought by the customer. Antique restoration involves working with older pieces that often have original materials worth referencing, frames that need careful handling, and sometimes historically accurate fabric choices to preserve the piece's character. This combination of retail and craft services is uncommon and genuinely useful for serious projects.

Service Area

Atlas Fabrics serves Savannah and the surrounding Chatham County communities, including the historic district, Victorian District, Ardsley Park, and Isle of Hope. Interior designers and customers from Hilton Head, Bluffton, and the South Carolina Lowcountry also make the trip for access to the fabric selection and upholstery services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy fabric from your store and have someone else do the upholstery?
Yes, the fabric store operates independently of the upholstery service, so you can purchase material and use your own workroom or independent upholsterer. Many interior designers shop the fabric selection and coordinate their own installations.
What makes antique furniture restoration different from regular reupholstery?
Antique pieces often have construction methods and materials that differ from modern furniture, so the approach has to be adapted accordingly. Restoration also involves decisions about how period-accurate you want the result to be, which affects fabric choice, trim, and finishing details.
How do I figure out how much fabric I need for a reupholstery project?
The amount depends on the size of the piece, the pattern repeat of the fabric, and how complex the cutting layout is. A shop with upholstery experience can give you an accurate yardage estimate and flag whether a large pattern repeat will require significantly more material.
Do you carry decorator-grade fabrics, or mostly standard home goods?
A dedicated fabric store that works with upholstery clients typically carries commercial and decorator-grade textiles with higher durability ratings than what you'd find at a general fabric chain. Ask about the specific performance ratings of any fabric you're considering for heavy-use pieces.
Can you reupholster a piece using fabric I already own?
Yes, customer-supplied fabric is common for upholstery projects, especially when someone has a specific textile they've been holding onto or a pattern they found elsewhere. Just confirm you have enough yardage before bringing the project in, since running short mid-project is a problem.
Is Savannah a good market for antique furniture?
Yes, Savannah has a strong antiques scene with dealers throughout the historic district and surrounding neighborhoods. The city's age and preservation culture mean quality period pieces show up regularly, and having a local shop that can restore and reupholster them properly is genuinely valuable.
