Featured Reviews for Upholsterers in Exeter, Devon, UK

The Furniture Restylist - Claire Hill - Somerset
Upholsterers in Exeter, Devon, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 December 2021
“Claire completely transformed my kitchen and we’re delighted. Without changing a single aspect of the room other than having our cabinets and drawers painted, we have an entirely new room. Claire was thorough with her consultation, bringing painted door samples in my colour of choice to show me how the end product would look. During the re-style I had complete access to my kitchen as the cupboard fronts were painted off-site. Claire was so reliable and very tidy when she needed to paint in situ so there was hardly any disruption at all. The end result was staggering. The kitchen is now so bright and unique, it was everything I’d hoped for. My fears that there might be visible brush strokes on the doors completely vanished when I saw the end product; it’s immaculate. What a cost-effective, easy and sustainable way to change a kitchen! Thank you Claire”
Pierre Mellows Upholstery

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 March 2018
“Absolutely stunning! Our favourite sofa was transformed by Pierre with perfectly matched pattern and double bias piping. Pierre worked with utmost professionalism from start to finish. The quote was prompt (same day) and we knew we were in safe hands with his background knowledge of upholstery fabrics and techniques. We are thrilled to have found this business and have already booked in our next project- a 1930s leather sofa.”

Antique Bathrooms of Ivybridge
Upholsterers in Exeter, Devon, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 May 2015
“Stewart of Antique Bathrooms gave us excellent and professional service from the very beginning, from sourcing our antique bath to the delivery process. He also ordered for us a fantastic Burlington shower after giving us a brochure to choose from. Thoughout the whole process of order and delivery communication has been second to none. The delivery of the heavy cast iron bath went so smoothly, considering the steep stairs they had to carry it up. Also it was painted in a colour of our choice. We are thrilled with the bath and shower, which are a pleasure to use. Advice and after care service has also been excellent. We would recommend this company to you without reservation.”

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 Exeter 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 Exeter 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 Exeter 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.
