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.”

If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll know we have a fondness for footstools. This particular footstool, likely dating back to the 1960s, was discovered by one of our customers and sent to us for refurbishment and reupholstery following specific design styling including a neatly spaced button top. We also cleaned and polished its light-coloured wooden legs.

I really like this one, it’s a straight forward box footstool. Our customer made her own design by selecting a lovey wool plaid fabric and asking us to pipe the top in leather – a great idea that makes this piece just that little more interesting to look at and touch.
All our reupholstery is bespoke and it’s really delightful to see fresh ideas from our customers that we tailor to their requirements – I wish I could keep most of the pieces we produce 😐
Did you notice the Shepherds castors? If you don’t know Shepherds castors; they allow very smooth movement of furniture on the carpet. Perfect for a footstool to slide around as needed.

I always have a footstool at home—they make sitting and chatting over a cuppa so much more comfortable, letting you rest your feet and even double up as a handy tea tray stand!
This particular design features a lift-up lid, providing hidden storage for games, magazines, or anything else you need to tidy away in a hurry. In my house, it’s mostly X-Box controllers! 🎮

Designed by our customer in London this simple footstool has been made into a really interesting and unique footstool which I’m sure will be a great talking point.
Upholstered – in part – with an old potato sack. The sacking was quite stretchy so Barry lined the underside with an upholstery material and aded two panels each side to completely cover the footstool showing the potato sack set in the middle.
I thought this piece deserved three photos – we just love its clever idea/design and simplicity.
An antique footstool reupholstered in leather To match a fireside chair we reupholstered.
We recently restored an antique fireside chair in this leather hide. There was just enough leather to cover this footstool also. So here it is about completed waiting on the bench for the finishing touches of upholstery round headed pins in each corner. See the ‘Rolls Royce’ corner stitch in the detailed photo – Lovely!
