What our clients are saying
From start to finish I found the professionalism and standard of workmanship by Carlo Upholstery outstanding. A large sofa and two chairs had been damaged and I wished for them to be brought back to their original state.
Carlo sort the fabric needed and sent samples. I simply went to the fabric merchant to check the fabric out, gave my approval.
The merchant sent the fabric directly to Carlo. It was hassle free.
Carlo gave me an expected date of completion. On that date the sofa and two smaller settees were delivered. When the delivery men unwrapped them I was in awe of the standard of workmanship and said this to the delivery men.
The delivery man said, in his opinion, Carlo Upholstery is one of the best. I could not agree more. Without hesitation I would recommend Carlo Upholstery to anyone who required the services of a first class upholsterer.

Carlo's Upholstery Story
Carlo grew up in a little upholstery workshop in Station Street, Fairfield, watching his father's hands create one off patterns for each chair. Carlo has listened to many customers stories about their beloved chair and what it would mean to them to bring it back to life and be used once again. Carlo has seen many different fabrics, styles and techniques come in and out of his father’s little workshop.
Carlo would excitedly run from school to his father’s workshop each day to watch and learn the art of creating a pattern, cutting, sewing and understanding hand crafted restoration. From there Carlo’s passion grew and his father’s skills and workmanship continue to live on in Carlo. Carlo has had his own workshop for over 10 years now and his passion and creativity continue to grow. Carlo has built relationships with many inspirational Clients working in Antique and Retro retail shops, working as Interior Decorators and Architectural Designers, which he values and enjoys working with.
