Reupholstered footstool.

Reupholstered Footstool

This footstool is part of a lounge set we recently completed, which included a sofa, a chair, and this piece – nicely designed footstool. Originally upholstered in thick, stylised leather, it has now been transformed in the customer’s chosen velvet fabric, giving it a fresh new bespoke look.

The footstool features a spring-assisted lift-up lid, making it both practical and comfortable. We’ve included close-up photos to show the stitching detail, which really adds to the overall quality and design. One lovely feature is the fabric weighted tab used to lift the lid—both functional and a thoughtful design touch

“A classically designed footstool with attractive details that are practical too.”

Wood Frame Chair Restoration

Take a look at this stunning bespoke occasional Wood Frame Chair Restoration. We restored the exposed wood frame, fixed the sprung platform and replaced the foam padding, and gave it fresh upholstery in a quality fabric. So the end result? A chair that looks and feels as good as new, if not better! With its newfound durability and looks, this chair is ready to serve our customers for years to come. Now a one-of-a-kind piece!

Chesterfield

Here is something a little different. We reupholstered a relatively recent Chesterfield sofa in a sunflower gold velour. The chesterfield was probably manufactured in the 1980s, so it’s not ancient like some we have restored. The dimensions are good, a deep seat and a slightly higher back. It was bespoke restored to go in our customers guest cottage/chill-out area at the home in the Cotswolds.

Thank you Gill for sending the photos of the sofa in its new rather lovely new home.

Barker sofa

A Modern Take on a Chesterfield Sofa.

I recognised this sofa as soon as I saw it. Originally sold through Barker and Stonehouse furniture shop back in the 1980s. It’s a quality piece of classic furniture, basically a relaxed oversized Chesterfields sofa without the deep buttons. Originally retailed in a Kilim fabric that was slightly rough to the touch, a bit like a Kilim rug, they were super cool, stylish, massive and expensive.

We have reupholstered at least two in the last year, therefore, we know the quality of the frame. This example, our customer purchased for £50 🙂 Now it looks like a few thousand pounds. Stunning.
