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.

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!

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.

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.

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 stunning Onani fabric is made from a delicate yarns of multicolour print on a highly transparent knit to create dramatic eyelet voiles. We are big fans of a unique brief at JAI and were thrilled with the way these turned out - allowing the light to flood in but also giving good coverage and a luxurious feel.
