why reupholstER?
There are many reasons why you might want to reupholster a piece of furniture. Often clients come to me with family heirlooms that have great meaning to them but need a little TLC to bring them back to life.
You might have a really unique vision that you just can’t find on the high street. Reupholstering means you have a near endless choice of fabric and trimmings – whether you want something that really reflects your personality or are after something ultra-practical to keep up with the demands of life with kids and pets.
If you are looking for more sustainable ways to furnish your home, the vintage/second-hand market is a great way to do this. When 22-million pieces of furniture are thrown away every year in the UK (the majority of which end up in landfill) every item repurposed is a victory.
This really is the beauty of upholstery. Everything I do is completely bespoke and every commission is a collaborative process. By discussing how you use the piece, who is sitting on it, and what you do and don’t like about it, I can tweak your piece of furniture to fit your lifestyle.
The service I offer is friendly and approachable. I don’t believe in gatekeeping good design. So whether you are completely new to reupholstery or an experienced interior designer, I look forward to chatting about upholstery with you.
