The Custom Shop is Greater Boston's largest and most experienced re-decorating showroom for residential and commercial customers.
Our family has been driven to help you enjoy your home furnishings in comfort and good health with the ones you love since 1927. Passed down from one generation to the next, we are finally are a women-owned business.
The Custom Shop in Watertown was terrific from start to finish. They helped us choose a beautiful fabric for four oversized cuddle chairs, and the finished product came out absolutely immaculate, the pattern lines up perfectly and the chairs honestly look better than brand new. The pricing felt fair, the turnaround was surprisingly fast, and everyone there was warm, patient, and fun to work with throughout the process. Bonus points because it has somehow become my dog’s favorite store in Massachusetts, she walks in and immediately makes herself at home on the furniture. Would happily use them again and recommend them very highly.

"I’ve been a loyal customer of The Custom Shop since they beautifully reupholstered an heirloom piece for me years ago. When it came time for a much larger project—67 custom outdoor cushions—they were my first and only choice. I was thrilled to find they handle outdoor pieces with the same precision and care as fine indoor furniture. The quality is world-class and fits our high-end patio sets perfectly. I couldn’t be happier!"-J. Peter

The Customer Shop recently recovered six chairs for me. Not only did they do a fantastic job, but they were able to meet a very tight deadline for me. Tony and all the staff were incredibly helpful, from choosing the fabric to giving me the pricing to pickup and delivery. I highly recommend this business!
