At Fitout | Renovation Dubai, we breathe new life into tired furniture and craft brand-new seating from scratch. As a full-service interior fit-out, renovation, remodeling and revamp company, our upholstery services in Dubai cover everything from a single accent chair to an entire hotel lobby — delivered with workshop-grade craftsmanship, premium fabrics and the kind of finish that makes a room feel renewed. Whether you live in an apartment in Business Bay, a villa in Arabian Ranches, or you run a restaurant in DIFC, our upholsterers come to you, advise honestly, and treat every piece as if it were our own.
Quick Answer Fitout | Renovation Dubai provides expert upholstery services across Dubai and all seven Emirates for both residential and commercial clients. We handle new upholstery, sofa reupholstery, foam and fabric replacement, headboards, leather restoration, acoustic and outdoor upholstery, and commercial seating for hotels, offices, clinics, restaurants and more. Typical sofa reupholstery starts around AED 550–AED 1,000 per seat, with free pickup and delivery, free fabric samples and a written quote before any work begins.
Upholstery is equal parts engineering and craft. A beautiful fabric stretched over a weak frame or low-density foam will sag within a year — especially in Dubai’s heat and humidity, where sunlight fades cheap fabric in months and moisture softens poor padding. We build for our climate, not against it. Here is what sets our Dubai upholstery services apart:
All commercial seating can be supplied with fire-retardant fabrics and foam in line with UAE fire-safety expectations — we work to the spirit of the Dubai Civil Defence fire-and-life-safety code and broader Dubai Municipality building standards, which matters for hotels, clinics, schools and offices.
We organise our work into three simple buckets — new upholstery works, reupholstery and refurbishment, and specialised services — across both homes and businesses. Whatever the piece, the process is the same: assess, advise, quote, craft, install.
For apartments, townhouses, villas and mansions, we upholster and reupholster furniture in every room of the home:
We are a trusted upholstery partner for businesses across the UAE, with discreet scheduling that minimises downtime. Sectors we serve include:
Starting fresh? We manufacture made-to-measure seating, headboards, cushions and banquettes built around your space, your dimensions and your fabric — ideal when off-the-shelf furniture won’t fit a villa majlis, a hotel suite or a bespoke restaurant fit-out.
Reupholstering is typically 30–60% cheaper than buying new — and far kinder to the planet. We strip back tired pieces, rebuild the structure, replace foam and springs, and re-cover in your chosen fabric or leather. Cherished, heirloom and antique pieces are restored with the care they deserve, keeping the frame you love and the comfort you remember.
Beyond full reupholstery, we handle fabric, leather, seam, stitching, spring, cushion and frame repairs; antique and heritage restoration; and ongoing maintenance including upholstery cleaning, fabric-protection treatment, leather conditioning and preventive care to extend the life of your investment.
The right fabric is the difference between furniture that ages gracefully and furniture that disappoints. We help you balance look, feel, durability (rub count), maintenance and budget — and we bring physical samples to your home or office so you can see and touch before you decide.
Velvet, linen, cotton, chenille, bouclé, microfiber and suede — from soft, luxurious finishes for low-traffic bedrooms to hard-wearing weaves for family living rooms.
Genuine and full-grain leather for a timeless, premium feel, plus PU leather, artificial leather and vinyl for budget-friendly, easy-clean and high-traffic commercial use.
For demanding environments we offer outdoor, marine, fire-retardant, acoustic, stain-resistant and high-performance fabrics. Performance ranges such as Sunbrella and stain-resistant technologies like FibreGuard resist fading, spills and wear, while OEKO-TEX-certified textiles give peace of mind on chemical safety — important for children’s rooms, healthcare and hospitality.
Dubai is well served by specialist fabric houses and material suppliers. Because we are independent, we can source from whichever supplier best fits your design, performance needs and budget. Suppliers and fabric brands our clients often ask about include:
Prefer to supply your own fabric? No problem — we’re happy to upholster using material you’ve already purchased (a small cutting/handling fee may apply).
Typical turnaround is 3–7 days for standard pieces and 1–3 weeks for complex or large commercial projects.
Every job is quoted individually because price depends on size, fabric, foam, frame condition and design complexity. As a guide, the ranges below reflect current Dubai market rates for quality upholstery work. Fabric is usually the biggest variable — expect roughly AED 40–AED 300+ per metre, with a sofa needing about 10–20 metres.

Standard pieces take about 3–7 days. Complex items, large sofas, or commercial projects can take 1–3 weeks. We confirm the timeline in your quote and work around your schedule.
