Straw and Order
Upholsterers in Portsea, Hampshire, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 January 2019
“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.”
Ethel Upholstery Surrey
Upholsterers in Portsea, Hampshire, UK
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.”

“Over the past 8 years Alan and myself have collaborated on many projects. He is creative, resourceful, has a fantastic eye for detail and the pieces he has made for me have always proven to be faultless. He is an exceptionally talented upholsterer and I cannot recommend his work highly enough. Val Plummer At No 19 Interiors”
Sumptuous Furnishing
Upholsterers in Portsea, Hampshire, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 July 2015
“I commissioned Sumptuous Furnishing to re upholster an old sofa and armchair. This involved replacing springs, stuffing and re covering. The quality of service throughout was excellent. I received expert advice from someone who was clearly passionate about what they do and has a flair for being creative whilst practical. They went out of their way to guide me through the various decisions before undertaking the project, provided a fair quote and stuck to their deadline. I was very impressed with the result, I now have a comfortable, hard wearing, smart looking sofa and chair and cant believe I put mending them off for so long. It was all so easy in the end! Thank you, and would definitely recommend to others.”

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 Portsea 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 Portsea 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 Portsea 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.
