Just finished restoring this Parker Knoll chair and it looks amazing! The frame has been polished, the springing restored, and the cushions have been reupholstered to give it a fresh and stylish look. Can’t wait to see it in its new home!
This is a stunning conservatory suite that we recently reupholstered for one of our customers. We gave this inherited furniture a new life by creating new cushion cases in a beautiful Porter and Stone Fabrics cotton print. With just a few simple updates, this conservatory furniture is now the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sunshine.
We had the pleasure of working on a 1960s sofa that was inherited by our customer from his grandmother. We re-made the seat cushions with new foams and gave it a fresh new look by changing the original stretchy orange fabric to a nice cream Ross Fabrics Aquaclean. It’s amazing how a simple change in colour can make such a big difference! The cream fabric makes a beautiful contrast against the historic sofa and gives it a stylish and modern look. We love being a part of preserving family heirlooms like this one.
Here is a classic Victorian Chair we reupholstered.
The Victorian Button Backed Chair is the epitome of elegance and sophistication. With its intricately detailed button-tufted back and ornate wooden frame, this chair is a true work of art.

Whether placed in a formal living room or used as a statement piece in a modern space, the Victorian Button Backed Chair never fails to impress. Timeless elegance.

Leather Reupholstery, repairs and adjustment
When completing leather reupholstery we only use high-quality leather hides for durability, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. Mass-produced leather pieces simply cannot match the thickness, durability, and luxurious feel of our carefully selected hides. So, if you’re considering reupholstering your leather furniture, choose wisely and invest in our quality leather hides. Your furniture will thank you for it, and you’ll enjoy the benefits for years to come.
One of the significant advantages of using high-quality leather hides is their thickness. The hides we use measure between 3-4 mm, providing a robust and sturdy material for reupholstering. In contrast, mass-produced leather sofas often use hides that are thinly stretched or even actually fabric with a ‘leather’ spray.
Mass-produced pieces are more prone to tearing, cracking, and wearing out over time. They lack the structural integrity required to withstand regular use and can quickly deteriorate, leaving your furniture looking worn out and shabby.
Moreover, the leather hides we use provide a more luxurious and premium feel to your furniture. The thickness adds substantial weight to the upholstery, making it feel substantial and high-end. When you sit on a piece of furniture reupholstered with thick leather, you can immediately feel the difference in quality.
In addition to the thickness, the quality of the leather hides we use is another significant factor that sets us apart from mass-produced options. We meticulously source our hides from reputable suppliers who prioritise quality over quantity.
The natural grains, textures, and variations in the leather add character and charm to the furniture. Each hide is unique and we cut around any marks to present your furniture to look the best.
