These dated striped cushions weren't quite the swimming pool chic our client wanted. A quick reupholster and we could have been next to the pool in Ibiza rather than Henley on Thames.

"Our much loved and jumped on sofa by our now grown up kids was in need of some TLC - so along with two sets of triple pleat curtains we chose JAI to help us achieve the look we required"




To complement this chair which we recovered back in November we produced and installed 6 roman blinds and some scatter pillows, partly by recycling some existing curtains but also (by some miracle!) sourcing the same fabric!
Janice said "We are thrilled with the results. JAI managed to source a fabric we thought was no longer available! We are so pleased with the blinds. Not only do they look beautiful, but our living room is much cosier on these cold evenings"
