Services

Re-covering

A set of circular chairs with very low backrests. They are covered in an olive green fabric with a geometric pattern. The chair legs are black.

If the furniture piece is still comfortable, and the fillings are in good condition, a simple re-covering with new fabric may be all that’s needed.

Re-upholstery

A Chesterfield sofa in the process of re-upholstery. It has been stripped back to the wooden base and has delicate stitching securing the new, softer inserts.

Re-upholstery strips furniture back to its frame, adds new, comfortable fillings (using either modern foam or traditional methods), and covers the piece with a new fabric for a complete refresh.

Headboards

I offer a tailored headboard service, creating made-to-measure headboards to add the finishing touch to your bedroom restyle.

Tailored lamps

I offer a bespoke lampshade service, creating made-to-measure shades tailored to suit your home, with your choice of frame and fabric.

Bespoke cushions

A square cushion, covered by a mustard yellow fabric with a floral design of pink, yellow, purple and blue painted flowers. There is also a stripe of light green fabric and golden tassels on the left-hand side of the cushion.

Cushions are a wonderful addition to any home. If you would like a cushion made with a specific fabric, feel free to send me a message.
