Matched to the scheme, not the old piece · Connecticut

Upholstery for Interior
Designers CT

Furniture a client already owns, worked into a scheme that so far exists only on a mood board. Upholstery for interior designers CT firms specify is the one job we do that matches toward the future instead of the past.

How design work differs

Your match points forward

Every other trade we work with wants the new work to match what is already in the room. A designer wants the reverse. You are specifying toward a scheme that lives on a board and in your head, for a client who will approve it without the furniture in front of them. That shifts what a vendor is good for. It is not about speed or the lowest price. It is samples made against your palette, a cured drawdown you can drop into a presentation, and contract-rated materials so the spec still holds after a year of use.

Recolor, recover, keep the good pieces

Upholstery for interior designers CT projects call for is often a blend: a handful of statement pieces recovered for the new scheme and the rest recolored, at a fraction of what replacement would cost.

What a design firm needs from us

Proof you can show, dates you can pass on

Whether a vendor works on a design project comes down to two things, and price is neither. You need something to put in front of the client, and you need a date you can safely promise to someone else.

What goes in your presentation

  • A drawdown used to prove a color match
    A cured drawdownDone on the actual material and left to dry, so the color the client approves is the color that arrives.
  • A color specification sheet with a swatch
    A written specificationArticle, grade and sheen written down, so your schedule can cite it.

What we promise you

  • A leather sofa delivered to a staged room
    Delivery datesGiven to you, under your name, so you can pass them on to your client.
  • Agreed terms for an upholstery job
    One line of contactWe quote you and report to you. Your client hears everything through you.
How it works

Brief, samples, sign-off, delivery

  1. Share the scheme

    The palette, the materials and the date you have already given your client.

  2. We sample toward it

    Contract-rated options set against your board, not the existing piece.

  3. Your client signs off

    Looking at a cured sample instead of a written description.

  4. Delivered on your date

    Or flagged early if that date cannot be met, which is the same courtesy.

How this fits with the rest

Designers specify new. Decorators rework what exists

When the brief is to carry a client’s existing furniture into a fresh palette rather than to specify from scratch, the decorators page fits better. How the samples are made is explained on color matching, and what we do when a specified material is discontinued is on material matching.

Questions

Upholstery for Interior Designers CT FAQ

Questions firms ask before their first project with us.

Can you sample to our palette instead of the existing piece?

Yes, and that is what sets design work apart. Upholstery for interior designers CT schemes depend on is specified forward, so we sample to your board and set aside what the piece looked like before.

Will we have something to show the client?

A cured drawdown on the real material. Color looks different wet and dry, so a dried sample is the only fair thing to present.

Will you talk to our clients directly?

Only when you ask us to. We quote you, under your name, and we report back to you.

Can you commit to a date?

Give us the date before the scope. If we cannot meet it, you hear that right away, not at the end.

What if the material we specified is no longer made?

We look for a contract-rated equivalent and show it to you, or advise you to respecify. We never swap materials without telling you.

Get started

Send your board and your date

The palette and the date you have committed to. Those two shape a design quote more than the furniture itself.
