Bespoke Furniture

Here at Absolute Upholstery, we enjoy turning your dreams into reality, so whether you’re a designer or a homeowner, all you need to do is give us an idea of what you want.

If your furniture is truly beyond repair, there’s no need to worry. We can make new custom pieces for you, be that an exact replica of a beloved chair or something totally fresh and modern to lift your room’s décor.

Everyday living

Loose Covers & Soft Furnishings

Loose covers are a practical and stylish option, beautifully made from machine washable fabrics in gorgeous colours, patterns, and finishes. Given the wear a piece sustains in an average family home, having stunning furnishings that are simple to clean is a real time saver.

We make soft furnishings to suit the rest of the room too, from scatter cushions and bolsters to headboards and window seats, finished in fabrics that match or contrast as you like. Every piece is measured, cut and sewn by hand for a proper, tailored fit that lifts the whole room.

Repair & Restoration

Where suitable we’ll use traditional materials and techniques, but will also advise you where a better result might be achieved by updating materials or taking a slightly different approach to a repair.

Where possible we’ll repair the piece on-site, which provides both convenience and peace of mind for you.
