Dubai's Specialist For Furniture Upholstery & Repair
Upholstery is the process of replacing, restoring, or refinishing the fabric, leather, padding, and structural elements of your furniture, transforming worn, faded, or damaged pieces back to their original quality, or upgrading them entirely with new materials of your choice.
In Dubai’s climate, extreme heat, air conditioning, and direct sunlight, upholstered furniture degrades faster than in temperate climates. Fabrics fade and stiffen. Leather cracks and peels. Foam loses its density. Our technicians are specialists in diagnosing and restoring every type of upholstered furniture, using materials selected for durability in the UAE environment.
We work across all of Dubai, from residential apartments in Marina, JVC, and Downtown to villas in Jumeirah, Al Barsha, Arabian Ranches, and DAMAC Hills, as well as hotels, restaurants, and commercial properties throughout the emirate.
Why Reupholstery is the Sustainable Choice in Dubai?
Reupholstering furniture rather than replacing it is one of the most meaningful sustainability choices a household or business in Dubai can make.
Manufacturing a new sofa requires approximately 90 kilograms of raw materials, wood, foam, fabric, metal, and generates significant carbon emissions through production and international shipping into the UAE.
Reupholstery uses a fraction of these resources, new fabric, foam and thread, while retaining the existing frame, spring system and structural components. A piece of furniture that would otherwise go to landfill is given 10 to 20 additional years of useful life.
In Dubai, where imported furniture travels thousands of miles from Europe, Asia and the Americas before arriving in your home, keeping existing furniture in service is a particularly meaningful environmental choice. Every reupholstery project we complete is a piece of furniture diverted from the UAE’s waste stream.
What Furniture Upholstery Services Do We Offer in Dubai?
Not sure if we cover your furniture? Call us — we almost certainly do.
Which Upholstery Fabric is Best for Furniture in Dubai?
The best upholstery fabric for Dubai depends on which room the furniture is in, how it is used, and how Dubai’s unique climate affects that material over time.
Why Dubai’s climate matters for fabric choice: Dubai’s combination of extreme air conditioning indoors, intense UV light through large windows, and high outdoor humidity creates conditions that degrade certain fabrics faster than in temperate climates. Bonded and PU leather typically peels within 3 to 5 years in Dubai, compared to 8 to 12 years in Europe. UV-resistant performance fabrics resist fading significantly better than standard woven options, especially in south-facing rooms.
Velvet
Rich texture and premium look. Highly popular in Dubai formal rooms. Resists light wear well. Not ideal for heavy daily family use.
Microfibre
Performance Linen
Genuine Leather
Sofa Upholstery
Sofa reupholstery is our most requested service in Dubai. Whether your sofa fabric has faded, torn, stained, or simply gone out of style, we replace the entire covering, top, sides, back, cushions, and base, with any fabric or leather of your choice. The structural frame and springs are inspected and repaired as part of every reupholstery job.
We work with all sofa types: three-seater, corner sofas, L-shape sectionals, sofa beds, recliner sofas, and chaise lounges. Our consultant brings a full collection of fabric samples to your home so you can see and feel every option before deciding.
Dining Chair Upholstery
Dining chairs take more daily wear than almost any other piece of furniture. Fabric tears, foam compresses, and stitching fails, often faster than the chair frame itself wears out. Our dining chair upholstery service replaces the seat pad, back cushion, and full fabric cover, restoring your chairs to like-new condition at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
We work on all dining chair styles — standard parsons chairs, armchairs, bar stools, accent chairs, and restaurant-style stackable seating. Bulk orders for sets of 6, 8, or 12 chairs are priced per-unit with discounts for larger sets.

Bed and Headboard Upholstery
An upholstered headboard or fully upholstered bed frame transforms the look of a bedroom more dramatically than almost any other single change. We reupholster all bed types, platform beds, divan beds, Ottoman storage beds, and sleigh beds, in any fabric or leather, with your choice of padding thickness and quilting pattern.
Headboard upholstery is one of our fastest turnaround services: most headboard jobs are completed and reinstalled within 48 hours. We also repair and recover divan bases, replace sagging slat systems, and restore bed frame joints.

Leather Sofa Repair and Upholstery
Leather furniture requires specialist handling that standard upholstery workshops cannot provide. Cracking, peeling, fading, and discolouration are all repairable with professional-grade compounds, colour-matched dyes, and conditioning treatments. We restore leather to its original finish — or replace it entirely with new leather of your choice.
Our leather technicians work across all Dubai areas including leather restoration in Jumeirah, Barsha, and Marina — as well as JVC, Downtown Dubai, Arabian Ranches, and DAMAC Hills. Every leather repair begins with an assessment of the leather type to ensure the correct treatment is applied.
Full-grain & top-grain leather
The highest quality genuine leather. Repairable, conditionable, and re-dyeable.
Bonded & PU leather
Often peels in Dubai’s climate. Full replacement recommended for severe peeling.
Rexine & vinyl
Cost-effective synthetic option. Tears and cracking repaired or replaced.
Faux leather (PVC)
Full reupholstery in new faux or genuine leather available from AED 500.
Outdoor and Garden Furniture Upholstery
Outdoor furniture in Dubai faces conditions that indoor pieces never encounter — UV radiation, salt-laden air near the coast, and extreme temperature swings between seasons. Standard upholstery fabrics fail rapidly in these conditions. We exclusively use UV-resistant, waterproof, and mould-resistant marine-grade fabrics for all outdoor upholstery work, ensuring your garden and patio furniture lasts for years, not months.
We reupholster all types of outdoor and garden furniture: patio sofa sets, sun loungers, swing chairs, pool furniture, rattan and wicker seating, and garden dining chairs. Outdoor cushion foam is replaced with closed-cell quick-dry foam, engineered specifically for outdoor use in humid climates.

Commercial and Hotel Furniture Upholstery
We are a preferred upholstery partner for hotels, restaurants, serviced apartments, yacht charter companies, and office fit-out contractors across Dubai. Our commercial service is built around the specific demands of high-traffic, high-visibility furniture: rapid turnaround, commercial-grade materials, and bulk pricing for large orders.
All commercial upholstery uses FR-rated (fire-retardant) fabrics where required, and heavy-duty materials with a Martindale rub count of 100,000+ — ensuring your furniture withstands constant daily use without premature wear.
Hotel furniture upholstery
Guest room headboards, lobby sofas, banquette seating, restaurant chairs. Full contract service with scheduled maintenance packages.

FAQs Related to Our Upholstery Shop in Dubai
Everything you need to know before booking your upholstery service.
Upholstery is the craft of covering, padding and finishing furniture with fabric, leather or other materials,including the springs, webbing, foam and structural elements beneath the surface covering. A complete furniture upholstery service includes fabric or leather replacement, foam and cushion renewal, spring and webbing repair, and frame inspection and repair. The original frame is retained and repaired where necessary, while everything above it is replaced with new materials of your choice.
Yes, in most cases. Reupholstery is worth it when the furniture frame is in good structural condition and the cost of reupholstery is less than 50 to 60 percent of buying an equivalent new piece. In Dubai, where quality imported furniture costs AED 3,000 to AED 20,000 to replace, reupholstery is almost always the better financial decision,and it gives you the option to choose an entirely new fabric or leather to match your current interior.
Furniture upholstery in Dubai costs between AED 200 per dining chair and AED 3,500 for a large corner sofa in premium leather, depending on furniture size, fabric choice and condition. A standard 3-seater sofa in fabric typically costs AED 1,200 to AED 2,200. See the full pricing table above for all furniture types. We provide a fixed written quote during the free home visit, you know the exact cost before any work begins.
Yes. We specialise in leather furniture repair in Dubai, covering genuine leather, PU leather, bonded leather and rexine. We repair cracks, peeling, tears and fading using professional colour-matching compounds and leather conditioners. For PU or bonded leather showing extensive peeling, very common in Dubai’s air-conditioned climate, full reupholstery in new leather or performance fabric is usually the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Reupholstered furniture lasts 8 to 15 years for quality fabric with normal use, and 15 to 25 years or more for genuine leather. The frame, typically solid hardwood or metal in quality furniture, will often outlast multiple rounds of reupholstery. Proper care including regular cleaning, avoiding prolonged direct sunlight, and prompt attention to any damage significantly extends the life of the upholstery.
Most upholstery jobs take 3 to 5 working days from collection to delivery. Same-day assessment is available and we can typically arrange collection within 1 to 2 days of your approval. Express 48-hour service is available for urgent requirements at an additional charge. Collection and delivery is included in all standard quotes.
