Twine Interiors Ltd

Upholsterers and Furniture Restorers

26 May 2019

“Olivia reupholstered a settee and an armchair for me that had been in my family for 60 years. They were looking very shabby and threadbare. But now they are looking as good as new. Olivia has done an excellent job at a what I feel is a very reasonable price. I am very pleased with Olivia's work. It is faultless. Olivia came to see the two items of furniture and selected a range of suitable fabrics for me to choose from. She also arranged collection and return of the furniture, which was a great help to me.”

“Pamela provided a full service from helping to choose colour schemes, fabrics, upholstery and blinds/curtains/shutters. Pamela is perceptive with my taste and helped to provide fabrics that would work with both the room, light and room usage. I am thrilled with the choices made along with quality of workmanship. The service was prompt and reliable. Pamela has great vision and taste and a huge selection of samples. My house has been transformed.”

“Ray and Rowena restored a family rocking chair that had huge sentimental value. Tasteful design and the workmanship was first class. The chair has pride of position in our living room.”

Polly Granville

Upholsterers and Furniture Restorers

16 June 2015

“I discovered Polly's unique upholstery through a local network, but I'd happily travel across London to use her services. The attention to detail on the ready made pieces I've bought is amazing - Polly takes unloved old pieces and transforms them into highly individual items of furniture. I love the subtle differences between the pair of chairs I bought, and the detail in the embroidery that sets them apart from other upholstered pieces. I've also commissioned some bespoke work from Polly, using her fabric searching service. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this beforehand as it was the first time I've used a service like this, but chatting with Polly about the chairs and looking at some ideas in the studio was incredibly helpful. Polly helped me to develop and distill my thoughts and preferences to gain a clear picture of what I wanted, and sourced a number of fabric samples that fitted the bill. Another discussion on the pros and cons of the choices available meant I was absolutely sure of my choice and delighted with the result. I will definitely use Polly's bespoke service again.”

“Bobbin and Fleck did a brilliant job recovering an old chaise longue of mine, with some very handsome harris tweed fabric. It is now my favourite chair and looks really classy. The quality of the finish is superb. A terrific job - I would wholeheartedly recommend their work. Plus they are a pleasure to deal with.”

Purelyfine

Upholsterers and Furniture Restorers

26 January 2015

“I requested a complete recovering of a two seater sofa with cushions. Purelyfine came with samples on the day and time we arranged, I was then given a quote and some cheaper samples, but decided on the more expensive material. This was four weeks before Christmas. The sofa was removed, and within about ten days I received a text to say it was ready. It was delivered back into my sitting room that day. I am absolutely delighted with the final result, it has been very well made, and now is a centre piece for my sitting room. The work was completed well before I expected, on time, with great attention to details and within the budget.”

“Straw and Order have worked closely with our company to provide ottomans and upholstered and painted furniture during our renovation of an adapted farmhouse in Camprond, France. They were able to meet deadlines, and their work is of a very high and professional standard. Highly recommended.”

Upholsterers are your saving grace when it comes to refreshing your furniture or soft furnishings. It’s true that when redesigning or redecorating a home, it’s tempting to throw everything out and start again with all new furniture and decor. But this requires a big budget and a ruthless attitude, which may not necessarily be needed with all redesigns, so instead, consider hiring furniture upholsterers to reupholster, repair, restore or redesign some key pieces for you. Upcycling has become more and more popular lately, as the fashion for retro and rustic furniture has returned, but doing it yourself can cause all sorts of mishaps, so professional furniture restoration specialists should be called in to handle the job properly, especially if the piece of furniture you’re dealing with is particularly tricky.

Why should I hire upholsterers?

You’d be surprised at the magic furniture upholsterers can do to an old piece of soft furnishing; rips can be mended, worn fabric refreshed and extra elements added, and all probably at a lower price than buying a brand new piece. You can ask for reupholstery or furniture restoration of the item, to match it as closely as possible to its former glory or ask for something completely different to match your redesign. Trims, piping and fringing can be added for additional flourishes, new fabric patterns chosen, extra padding added, chair backs or headboards buttoned and new sofa or duvet covers stitched.

If you’re not quite sure what to do with your old furniture, try taking it to furniture upholsterers and furniture restoration specialists to ask for their advice. Established upholstery services will be able to handle all sorts of fabric upholstery and reupholstery, including leather upholstery, and recommend the fabric that will work with your furniture and design theme. They will also be able to tell you about the durability of the fabric they will use and how to look after your re-upholstered item.

Some upholstery projects may be DIY-friendly, such as making cushion covers or covering a pouffe or stool with new fabric. If you’re itching to get crafty, you can search for fabric suppliers, as well as furniture upholsterers, on Houzz, to source fabrics and fabric decorating accessories. However, try to know your limits – leather upholsterers will be highly skilled and experienced at upholstering your sofa or headboard, but attempting to upholster a tricky fabric onto a difficult shape yourself could lead to a design disaster. Although you can always call on the experts to help with some reupholstery if it does go wrong…

Why would I need a furniture restoration specialist rather than an upholsterer?

Upholsterers deal predominantly with soft furnishings and furniture, such as sofas, padded chairs and padded headboards. For all other pieces of furniture that could be repaired or restored, there are furniture restoration specialists to help you. They can help you upcycle that outdated sideboard into something modern and stylish, or repair your vintage dresser for you. You may find that lots of upholsterers offer furniture restoration and furniture repairers offer upholstery services, too, but always double check the exact services they offer and if they can help you with your furniture before hiring them. Upcycling furniture saves money and waste, and is ever popular in vintage or industrial styled homes, so consider upcycling any old furniture you find, with the help or advice or a furniture restoration specialist, if you want to add a bit of recycled charm to your home.

It’s always a good idea, when renovating, to get the various professionals you hire to discuss plans with each other for a more seamless redesign. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of furniture restoration: .

Questions to ask prospective upholsterers or furniture restoration specialists:

How long have you been a furniture upholsterer or restoring furniture?
What types of furniture do you restore or upholster?
Can you offer reupholstery?
Do you work with your own fabric or can I source fabric myself?
Do you work with other fabric suppliers?
Can you give me a written estimate?
What do your upholstering and restoration services include?
Can you decorate/embellish furniture or do you only repair or upholster?
When will you complete this job?
How durable will the materials be?
Do you have any advice for long term care?
