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.”

This is an IKEA sofa our customer purchased while living abroad. It’s at least 20 years old. When we stripped the sofa down to its frame, we found it was in very good condition, indicating a good-quality build. As designed by our customer we reupholstered the sofa in a delicate blue leaf pattern linen fabric, and we think it looks lovely. A fresh design on an old sofa let’s see what we can do for you.

We are often asked about the areas we cover for furniture collection. In general, we provide a national service, but our collections are primarily in Darlington, North Yorkshire, and up to Newcastle. However, we have also had customers ship furniture to us from Portugal, Ireland, and France, so location isn’t a problem as long as you can get the furniture to us. We offer free, expert advice on reupholstery and restoration jobs, and we can guide you on how to ship your furniture to us. It’s simpler than you might think.
