The cost of fabric reupholstering varies based on the choice of fabric, size of the furniture, and the complexity of the design. Premium fabrics, such as velvet or designer textiles, tend to increase material costs. Larger furniture pieces require more fabric and labor, contributing to higher prices. Additionally, detailed craftsmanship, including tufting or intricate stitching, can add to the labor costs, making some projects more expensive than others.

Labor costs also depend on the condition of the existing furniture and the extent of preparation needed before reupholstering. Furniture that requires extensive stripping or repair will incur additional charges. The type of fabric selected influences not only material costs but also the time needed for installation, especially with delicate or patterned fabrics requiring precise alignment.
