Upholsterer Suffolk

Welcome to The Little Upholsterer. I am based in Peasenhall, Suffolk and have a little shop on the high street here just near Emmetts Store. This site is about about my ideas, future work and establishing myself as a traditional upholsterer. Please feel free to browse the site (it’s still under construction), email me with any enquiries or pop down to see me at the shop. I can give you a quote for any upholstery work, furniture repairs or restoration you need doing.

Inspiration and Ideas

Furniture Repairs Suffolk, furniture restoration East Anglia

Off to the V&A, and then Somerset House Wool Exhibition for the day. Hoping to have lots of ideas to update you with.

I get inspiration and ideas from all sorts of places…

 

I saw this in a shop in Woodbridge. The chair was covered in a bed spread type fabric. I think the fabric really works well with the shape of this chair – making it even more inviting and comfy.

 

A selection of work in progress…

 

lovely chair – I think might be an original ‘something’ as there is a lot of wear around the foot tread area. the piece has webbing on the top of the seat frame, but i have noticed tack marks on the underneath of the seat frame so am wondering if the webbing originally was on the underneath.

 

As I started to strip this the piece has began to fall apart… going to have to learn some wood work skills now!
