    “We needed a new sofa! Scott had great suggestions, provided us with fabric samples and we now have a bespoke family sofa that we love. Made to measure, excellent quality and very reasonably priced. Suspect it will last for many years.”

    “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.”

    “I finished a chair today! Yeh. I’ve studied upholstery on and off for about five years. This is the very best course that I’ve been on. I had fun, I have learned loads, I completed a rocking chair which two other classes couldn’t/wouldn’t help me with, thanks to Clare and Nicola who are very hands on and never leave you waiting as the classes are quite small. 5 stars and highly recommended.”

    “The Blackheath Upholsterer re-upholstered our drab DFS footstool with stunning House of Hackney fabric. It has totally transformed the piece and it now makes a beautiful and colourful statement in the room. It has become my favourite piece of furniture. She pays great attention to detail and it shows in her work. Recommend +++++”

    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 Potters Bar 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 Potters Bar 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 Potters Bar 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.
