decorator upholstery Miami: a leather sofa being worked on in a Miami home

decorator upholstery Miami Keep The Piece, Change The Scheme

A decorator often has one piece the client will not part with. Recovering it to the new scheme is usually cheaper and always faster than finding a replacement.

What this is

What The Job Actually Is

Every decorator upholstery Miami booking turns on one thing: fitting a kept piece into a new scheme. Everything below follows from that.

Non-negotiable — interior decorators in Miami

Before you book

Where It Works, Where It Stops

We would rather say no on the phone than take a piece we cannot put right. These are the honest edges of the job.

How the work runs

Four Steps, In Order

Done at your address unless the piece has to travel.

01

Read it

What the damage is, before what it costs.

02

Clean

Oils and salt off, so nothing seals underneath.

03

Rebuild

Fill and colour only as deep as the fault goes.

04

Seal

Sheen matched across the panel, checked in your light.
