The Challenges of Integrating Custom Upholstery in Your Home without an Interior Decorator

Custom upholstery can bring a room together. It can encapsulate a homeowner’s design tastes and provide a welcoming appeal to the broader home environment. Although, homeowners across Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, and the GTA often struggle in selecting their ideal custom upholstery without design experts by their side. Together, we’ll analyze the challenges you might face if you choose to take on custom upholstery integration without an experienced interior decorator acting as the guide.

The Challenges in Fitting the Design Process within Your Schedule
The leading problem faced by many homeowners across Mississauga, Burlington, Oakville and the GTA face when selecting custom upholstery is in fitting the design and selection process within their schedules. It can take time to source the right product within your budget, and this time can detract from working commitments and hours better spent with family. By choosing and experienced interior decorator, homeowners will have an expert who can take on the product sourcing, spatial planning and project management work for them. This ensures they can simply communicate directly with the designer to ensure their needs are met and that the project is moving forward.

Costs May Change at a Moment’s Notice When Going it Alone
Homeowners without experience in the interior design marketplace have limited understanding on the materials and the product options available. This lack of experience can often cause you to go over budget. You may believe that a certain fabric has a set price, but then find out it requires an additional attachment that adds further expenditure to the project. Working with an interior designer can ensure that all the costs are itemized and considered as part of the wider project budget. Experienced interior designers will be able to tell you when an item might be beyond your current budgetary means, and may be able to present with you with similar, more cost-effective alternatives. This experience within our marketplace means that expert designers can often save you a significant amount of money throughout your custom upholstery design project.

Your Installation Teams Have Not been Independently Verified
Working alone on your custom upholstery project increases the risk of experiencing unforeseen difficulties with your installation team. Entrusting your needs to an interior design company will ensure the ideal installer is chosen for the work. The company will have verified the installer’s credentials and can ensure they’re exceptionally qualified for the process ahead.


If you’re about to begin a custom upholstery installation within your home, it’s important to plan the process carefully alongside an experienced interior decorator.
