Where can I re-upholster this chesterfield and how much will it cost?

8 years ago

I would like to get this Chesterfield re-upholstered - and wonder if anyone could recommend a reasonably priced upholsterer in London (I am based in the south west) or give me some idea of cost? Thanks so much,

Jen

Hi Suja, I think a chesterfield will look really good in that room because the kitchen is very modern and swanky. By placing a traditional sofa with a modern kitchen you will have made a juxtaposition of styles. Juxtaposition of styles seems to really have greater impact than if you had matched 2 similar styles together, ie- modern kitchen and modern sofa. I think chesterfields are comfy as well. Sofa Sofa sell chesterfields that pull out into double guest beds and they are usefull. Another idea is a knowle sofa or drop arm sofa. We currently have one, its great so comfy, we simply had a memory foam mattress made for us which we placed under the seat cushions. When we have a guest over we simply remove the sofa seat cushions and a large single bed awaits. If you have your heart set on a chesterfield that isn't a sofa bed version. You can get a memory foam mattress on line for about £100 and place under the seat cushions. You then get a fitted sheet place over the mattress in the same shade as your sofa and place a throw. Either way, don't compromise on what you want, people always have opinions but its your £££ and it will be your home.

Whilst there can be occasions when it may be more hassle/work to re-fit existing kitchen units into a completely new layout, this doesn't look to be the case with what you want to achieve. Your kitchen looks in good condition and you want to have a single run of units on the wall opposite your new sliding doors. As a carpenter & joiner I'm struggling to see any difficulty with such on the basis of the info you've provided. At worst you may need a new worktop or section of such and/or end panels. If you've got a full wall of units the opposite side you could potentially use some of those to form your new island (depending on what sort of configuration you have in mind), with the addition of new doors, heavier end panels & stone worktop to contrast. There shouldn't be any problem with re-using your range either (just check sizes), and £100 or so spent getting an oven cleaner in should have it looking great with your new layout, until you decide to replace it.

You can't have the dining table and the kitchen adjacent to each other as 5 metres is not wide enough. Hence why I moved the plan around and the positions of things to give you more space. I don't like blocking the flow front to back by putting the Utility on the right immediately. Gaining more length will also help my type of layout as i mentioned earlier. I think you have to compromise on the snug or the utility / downstairs loo area, as the house isn't wide enough for both. Since you already have a lounge and a utility / downstairs loo will add more value, i'd go for the latter. I'd go for this type of layout at 5m extended . No snug..........you don't really need it. If you want all of the above accommodated, then you'd have to go out to around 7m. You may also find difficulty with the plumbing, so, even though I put the option of the utility and toilet on the left in my previous render, i'm not sure it would work. ( it's possible ). You would end up with something like this, but also bear in mind, that due to the depth of the extension you will need a sky lantern in the roof on the left as the snug would be dark without one.

How much for this extension?
Q

You’re quite likely to need to rebuild the original extension as the footings won’t have been designed for two storeys. How much depends hugely on where you are, site access, finish level etc. I’d ask some neighbours/local friends who’ve done something similar, then add about 20% for current conditions, for a reasonably accurate price. Or consult a builder if you can get one to have a look.
