Our Process: From Fabric Selection to Final Install

Step 1: Fabric Selection and Color Planning

We guided the church through durable, commercial-grade fabrics that perform in a sanctuary setting.

Need help choosing? See our FAQ or browse recent projects in Our Work.

Step 2: Coordinated Chair and Pew Upholstery

Using one fabric across pews, pulpit chairs, and choir chairs created a cohesive visual line from the front of the sanctuary to the choir loft. See more seating transformations in Our Work.

Step 3: On-Site Efficiency and Quality Control

We planned work phases to keep services on schedule. Our team checked seams, foam, and fit so the sanctuary felt refreshed on day one. If you’re exploring a broader update, our Church Interior Design team can help with color and finish selections.
