Furniture worth keeping, beautifully renewed
For homeowners across Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, and the GTA who want a piece to feel new again without losing the comfort, memory, and place it has already earned in the home.
Over 20 years of hands-on upholstery experience, with working shop locations in North York and Mississauga.
Beautiful interiors often begin with a feeling, not a finished idea. You may start with a colour, a fabric, a photograph or simply the mood you want to create. We help shape the details until the piece feels natural in the room, and personal to you.
Comfort rebuilt,
not just recovered
A good frame can outlast its cushions. We rebuild the support and padding so the piece feels comfortable again—not just newly covered.
Once opened, the wear within reveals where your family naturally gathers and where the structure has softened over time. We thoughtfully rebuild and reinforce those areas to restore lasting comfort and support, not simply renew what appears on the surface.
From an idea to something beautifully real
Not every project begins with a clear design. Sometimes it starts with an image, an unfinished room or a well-loved piece ready for a new life. We help bring the direction into focus and turn it into something beautiful, comfortable and entirely your own.
We create custom seating, headboards, benches and banquettes, and renew sofas, chairs, cushions, leather and furniture worth keeping. Every project is guided by the same care: thoughtful proportion, lasting comfort, beautiful materials and clean finishing.
Leather Sofa Restoration
When the leather has aged but the sofa still has character, we give it new comfort and a refined new look without losing what made it special.
A Piece of Memory
We gave this grandfather’s recliner new comfort and a fresh look, so it could remain in the home as a reminder of the childhood moments shared beside him.
Genuine Upholstery is built on years of hands-on workshop experience. We care for every layer of the piece, from the structure beneath the surface to the final fabric, seam and detail.
Custom upholstery, built around the space
Some furniture fits a room in a way new pieces simply do not. We rebuild or custom-make seating to preserve the scale, comfort and familiar feel that already belong in the space.
Start with our fabric and leather partners, or visit our showroom to explore options in person. We help narrow the choice by look, texture, durability, cleanability, and how the material will live in the room.

Harry was very professional in his attention to details and suggestions. He took my thoughts on colour and fabric and provided a comprehensive selection of sample fabrics. The end result of reupholstering my wingback chair was more comfortable than before, and the quality of workmanship and fabric were exceptional.

The owner did an exceptional job reupholstering my leather sofa, loveseat, and chair set, which was passed down from my parents. The craftsmanship was excellent, and I’m so happy with the result. I would definitely come back and highly recommend
