“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.”

“Lucie initially painted two items for my entrance hall. Dark wood and now transformed to silver/grey. They looked so good that I decided to have a further three items painted. The quality of her work is superb and she keeps you informed throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting to restore any furniture. Trisha K (Maidenhead)”

“Sarah has completed a number of upholstery jobs for me over the past five years and I have no hesitation in recommending her most highly. She is great at advising on fabric choice and finish and has never missed a deadline, often going above and beyond to get a job done in a tight timeframe. Sarah's work is of the highest quality.”

“This small company provided a superb service and well exceeded expectations. They have made 2 sets of full length curtains for me and are now upholstering 2 chairs which they sourced for me. A home visit was made to measure up for the curtains and a further visit to fit them. They suggest "inverted pencil pleats" and the result is stunning. For the chairs, I was able to browse a fantastic selection of fabrics and bring home as many samples as I could carry. Jo and Mags are passionate about what they do and provide great advice on interior decor ideas. They encouraged me to think outside the box, with great results.I would never have chosen dark grey velvet for my chairs but I know it was an inspired choice they guided me to. Their prices are competitive and the advice is not charged for. What not to like? Soooo much better than John Lewis - and cheaper !”

“Helen from Headings and Hems made my bedroom curtains. She gave great advice helping me choose the material and style. I was indecisive and she was very patient and understanding. I am delighted with the result. The quality of her work is incredible, she is highly skilled with great attention to detail, yet affordable. Highly recommended.”

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 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.

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 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.
