Find the common thread
A small, coherent palette can connect seats, doors and floor. Consider the exterior and existing trim before choosing the pieces that will change.
Auto upholstery
Custom car interiors
Custom does not have to mean more of everything. It might be a different texture, a quieter stitch or a completely new palette. Start with how you want the cabin to feel, then explore materials and details that suit the vehicle, its construction and your everyday use.

What to consider.
Choose materials for their role
A material that looks right in a photograph may behave differently in use. Feel, stretch, exposure and intended application all deserve attention.
Check the design against the seats and trim
Seam layouts and shapes must work with the seat and trim construction. Discuss ideas against the actual components before treating a sketch as a final specification.
FROM CRAIG’S PORTFOLIO
Porsche Boxster S seat reupholstery
Saddle-toned bolsters frame houndstooth centers in this Boxster S seat project. The work included front seat covers, foam inspection and cover fitment, with a matching door insert. Photographs follow the seats from exposed foam through the finished covers and back into the cabin.

Common questions.
Do I need to arrive with a finished design?
No. A few clear references, the vehicle details and a sense of what you like are enough to begin. Material and construction choices can then be discussed together.
Can I copy an interior from another vehicle?
It can be a useful reference, but proportions and construction differ. The idea needs to be adapted to the actual seats and panels rather than assumed to transfer exactly.
Can custom work include just one area?
Yes, a project can begin with a defined area if its construction is suitable. Consider how the new material and detailing will relate to the surfaces that remain.
