Pamela Langbridge Curtains and Upholstery
Upholsterers in Balcombe, West Sussex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 March 2015
“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.”

“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.”
TS Design Studio Ltd
Upholsterers in Balcombe, West Sussex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 May 2021
“I am absolutely delighted with the total professionalism of TS Design Studio. We have had in our family an old Captains chair that is over one hundred years old and which was badly in need of some help. All the legs had become unglued, the leather seat insert had long ago worn out and the general appearance was very tired. TS Design Studio gave us an honest opinion on the best way to restore our chair. Not wanting to opt for a modern foam and staple job, the chair was lovingly restored using similar methods and materials as those used by the original craftsman over one hundred years ago, the result was stunning and we are so thrilled with the finished work. TS Design Studio have a wealth of knowledge and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Tomasz: Thank you so much for all the passion you have shown during this restoration and for your understanding on just how much this chair meant to us as a family. Your advise and attention to detail is amazing and we shall be forever grateful to you. Best wishes, Bill Hunstone”
Ethel Upholstery Surrey
Upholsterers in Balcombe, West Sussex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 January 2015
“Ethel Upholstery did a great job for us on a penthouse we were fitting out. We needed some cushioned wall panels for the backs of some cupboards which also doubled as a room divider. The dimensions and sequence of the panels was crucial but they did it all perfectly and on schedule. They were very professional to deal with and I could highly recommend them.”
Cocoon Upholstery Ltd
Upholsterers in Balcombe, West Sussex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 February 2021
“I used Cocoon Upholstery services for the first time on the recommendation of a friend (amazing what good recommendations can turn into) - I had what I thought was an old tatty chair. I was determined that it was going in the skip. I was then persuaded to give it to Cocoon Upholstery because it was a genuine old chair and maybe they could do something with it that may give back it's old life. Well, all I can say is that I am so relieved that it didn't go to the skip! The chair has been restored to its former glory and given a new lease of life. I now use it as my go-to reading chair. Another bonus is that the chair is an original Howard Keith chair made in the 1950s and worth a decent sum of money. That's so good to know, but I will not be selling this chair thanks to the professional care it has received from Cocoon Upholstery and the TLC at no extra cost. Highly recommend Cocoon Upholstery's services because here you have a company with an authentic approach to making you fall in love with your furniture again and being kinder to the environment!”

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. Upholsterers in Balcombe 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 Balcombe furniture upholsterers to reupholster, repair, restore or redesign some key pieces for you.

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, at a lower price than buying brand new. 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 furniture restoration specialists in Balcombe 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.
