Winter white and lavender tones...

Another interesting mid century chair from the same client as the chair previously done, reupholstered in the same Kvadrat/Raf Simmons fabric collection.

Getting its style back...

Mid century armchair fully reupholstered. The client agreed that the big feather cushions were probably not original, taking too much seating space and indeed it had been recovered in the past (the positive side of finding some of the old fabric underneath!). So a totally new looking chair and much more comfortable...

Bespoke ottoman

Bespoke ottoman made to the client's requirements. Here wooden tapered legs in black finish, width and height to match the existing footstool and sofa. I recommended this stunning jacquard woven velvet with ikat effect and shimmering golden metallic background, its colours matching the palette of the room.

That shall be mine...

Bespoke velvet cushion for this cosy space in newly renovated stylish kitchen, quickly claimed!

You can now sit in the bay...

Large bay window bench now fitted with bespoke seat cushions.

Run For The Hills...

Upholstery and cushions made for award-winning design studio Run For The Hills. Creative Director and co-founder Anna Burles chose this lush exotic velvet for this Notting Hill, London project.

Resprung Recovered Reloved

Much loved chair (to the client's dog's taste too!) fully reupholstered and ready for more memories...

Interior styling

People tend to come to me by word of mouth knowing that I will find just the fabric they want or come up with the exact one they didn't know they'd love when they had no idea what to go for. When I advice on fabric, I take into account where the piece is going and how it is used, looking at the decoration of the room, the colours, textures, prints...
So quite often when I am taking on a piece to upholster, I tend to advice the client on the room decoration where the chair/ sofa is going, wether a change of soft furnishing, a wall paint colour or lighting, as I just enjoy doing it. 
Although it is a pleasure to advice on styling, it does take a lot of time researching so I am now offering my services in interior styling! Very exciting new path, here are some examples of my first projects...

So please just get in touch if you want some advice, wether you just want to lift a room with little improvement or redecorate it all.

Custom made ottoman

Staple&Tack is now making ottomans, whatever size, legs and fabric you desire. This large square ottoman, 95cmX95cm, was upholstered with a very fine epinglé loop velvet    

    woven in cotton, quite striking. Please enquire for any commissions.

What a change of fabric can do...

These two dining chairs came in new but upholstered in grey linen and the client wanted to lift them up with a soft teal velvet and gorgeous floral print. It just looks amazing and they found home in their stylish kitchen.

Another lift to come...

Next, those beautiful new dining chairs are getting different textures and print...

Lifted with arty fabric...

How about that for a change? New linen cotton blend fabric in painterly styles and new back cushion. The client has chosen to replace the original wooden feet with clear balls which I will show soon when the chair is back home.

Let's update that chair!

Very large armchair in for a recover and new cushions fillings, the new fabric I found for the client is really going to transform it...great linen print!

His and Hers make over...

It took me a while to upload those but here they are fully reupholstered in a burnt orange wool...

This pair will keep me busy next...

A pair of Guy Rogers 'Frisco Bay' lounge tub chairs, one low back, hers, and the other one high back, his. When they came out in the mid 1960s, they would have been yours for £40 and £43 respectively. Not anymore!!

Just a change of colour...

This cute little dressing chair was in brand new condition but just not the right colour for the room, so I removed the current fabric and replaced with blue denim cotton.

Ready for summer...

New cushion covers for this outdoor sofa with a great leafy exotic fabric featuring toucans, parrots and butterflies!

Claimed straight away!

This just looks like a painting! Beautiful cats posing...'They live in hope' said the client who is an artist.

Stunning chiaroscuro floral...

Absolutely beautiful floral bouquet velvet for this Napoleon III armchair that got a full reupholstery. See a little of the chair's story below...

A chair with a story...

Napoleon III armchair in for a full reupholstery. I love when you discover an original label from the maker, here Monsieur Chatret. Although it mentions Chateauroux, the label has an address in Le Marais, Paris, so Mr Chatret might be the client. At this address, 35 rue des Francs Bourgeois, is the Hotel de Coulanges built in 1607. The fabric chosen for this chair is just stunning, an amazing print on velvet by Osborne&Little...

And relax...

Beautiful chaise longue fully reupholstered and back home...Fabric is by Colefax and Fowler.

Red for red...

A  recover for this large armchair with new red corduroy...back in time.

Next, a recover...

A large comfortable armchair in for a recover, fabric chosen is a red corduroy too.

Dining chairs fully reupholstered...

A set of sleek Airborne dining chairs coming in for a full reupholstery, fabric chosen is textural bouclé by Bute.

A reweb...

Tired stretched webbing on 2 sofas so I removed them all and replaced with new...

Chaise longue needs help...

Full reupholstery to come for this tired chaise longue...

Lifted by velvet...

New fabric for the seat and back cushions of a couple of mid century armchairs, blue velvet working well with the wood tone...and the cushion!

Back home...

Always a little proud to see pieces back to life in their home. Beautiful photo by the owner!

Back around the table...

Great find from this client who got me to reupholster 6 of these vintage chairs in a beautiful  rusty orange silky velvet.

Stunning pink velvet...

Definetely a fabric that cheered me up in this cold winter! Cool lounge chair getting new foam and luxurious velvet from Manuel Canovas. A very happy little girl!

Fabric finally...

Those two stylish armchairs came in for a recover after waiting a while in their calico stage...
