We all love a sunny day, not when it bleaches our furniture!! We reupholstered this beautiful seat area. Watch this space for the matching Roman blinds

We love our gold colour window seat, GOLD GOLD GOLD, to go with SUN SUN SUN, our Roman blinds will stop any more bleaching from that sun.

Thanks JAI

A tired and worn sofa but with a strong base. Take a look at how our team transformed. The fabric is Balmoral Harlequin range, herringbone, bluegrass. From left to right you can see the sofa was stripped back to wood and rebuilt, the fabric laid over and then rewadded.

This elegant Chesterfield has taken on a new look in classic ash grey. We modernised removing the skirts and adding matching scatters and reupholstering the stool to match. It blends perfectly with the curtains and Farrow and Ball walls.

These chairs were in need of new backsides! 

We reupholstered all six chairs in a simple maroon check and added three scatters. Adrian and Katie were thrilled that their backsides are not to the bones anymore!

Pass me the Colmans! This 'mustard' coloured fabric is 'Cervo' by Covertex. It's amazing what a good eye and a talented reupholsterer can do with a vintage sofa, footstool and chair. We even sauced up the footstool, definitely pumped this one up!

From a little tired to pizzazz back to life! Bringing a glamorous look to Ian and Lindas front room, creating this amazing space - exciting upholstery can really bring a room to life.

These silk curtains had a bad case of sunburn! Sunlight rots natural fibres including cotton especially if they are exposed like this tragic pair. We magically repaired these three sets of silk curtains using the clients existing fabric. 

"JAI gave our curtains another lease of life, we are thrilled that they will hopefully have another 20 years in them"

Green to cream, what a transformation into a beautiful sofa and footstool. Our clients were so chuffed with their sofa they have commissioned another two sofas and a footstool. We are thrilled - this Lustro crushed velvet looks so lush in real life.

This footstool had unfortunately been wrecked when a tea tray decided to leave it's mark. A little behind the scenes shot of the workshop while the team worked on this deep button lush footstool. A great matching accessory for this sofa and footstool plus a few scatter pillows in a glam champagne fabric.

Beautiful in Blue! A reupholster of this Parker Knoll armchair and dining chairs. The linen based fabric was duck egg blue to match her Sanderson chairs. When the chairs are all in place we strongly recommend finishing it off with a roman blind. This amazing fabric is William Morris & Co - Strawberry Thief - a tasty way to dress a window!

 

Thank you so much we are so pleased with the work carried out on our furniture , and thank you for being so reliable and efficient. Best wishes Sheila and Paul xx

Not quite a royal one but this much loved chair was handed down from father to son. Ken’s Dad, a GP, was downsizing and, as such, our client inherited this chair which we think you’ll agree looked great once JAI were done with it.

We do love old furniture and sometimes it need a sympathetic restore and other times only zany will do!!

 

This maesto velvet was the dramatic change Tracey was after for her inherited armchair. Perfectly complimented with two reversible cushions.

A client of ours quite some time ago - it’s been 17yrs and her sofa is still looking as good as new. Good quality really does last.
