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.
Miranda wanted a change of colour and texture after many years of sitting on cold black vinyl. We suggested this stylish colour, and a much nicer feel, a subtle change but Miranda said, "Love the bottle green thanks JAI'

A client we’ve worked with many times got in touch to confess she’d had her friends chair for over 20yrs and wanted to give it a facelift (with her friends permission of course!) Known as a ‘pop out’ this beautiful reupholster in a damask returned the chair to it’s former glory.

The previous shocking red wasn’t quite right for the prayer room chairs at D:two community church. After 20 years of use it was a pleasure to reupholster these prayer chairs in a more suitable and somber turquoise to match the existing blinds.

We do love a really beautiful chair and this pair or Ercols didn't disappoint. They were in need of rewebbing on the bases and rewarding of the backs pads, the pads on the seats were replaced and the whole chair was reupholstered in this cambio turquoise Covertex fabric. A couple of scatter pillows all colour matched to this stunning wallpaper and we, and Kirsten and Jason were excited to have their chairs back and very pleased with the outcome.

This delightful nursing chair was picked up by our client, Gabrielle, at a flea market and needed a lot of love. Our team set to work rewarding and reseating in horse hair. Our client requested a skirt to really enhance the vintage feel of this piece and an Ian Mankin ticking fabric in silver . Our attention to detail really shows here with all reupholstery done as it would have been in the Victorian era, our team are sticklers for detail and rightly so - that's why our clients love us so much!
Here's a few shots of the chair (pre rescue!) and in our workshop. Gabrielle welcomed a baby boy over Christmas who will hopefully enjoy many happy hour in the chair.

"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"
