What a difference the right fabric can make. 🤍

These two much-loved wingback chairs came to us ready for a refresh, and we absolutely love how they’ve turned out!

Reupholstered in Hertex Fabrics Lifeline from the Sail Away collection, the soft neutral stripe gives them such a timeless, relaxed feel while still keeping all the character and charm of the original pieces.

We also gave the feet a little attention, painting them in Kleur Space Gently Worn to tie the whole look together.

A beautiful example of why we love reupholstery. Same chairs, a whole new look. ✨

New on the showroom floor! 🤍

This upcycled two-seater has been given a whole new look in Sven, one of the latest fabric releases from Hertex Fabrics, in the gorgeous neutral colour Driftwood.

Sven is a beautifully textured upholstery fabric with an easy-clean finish, making it just as practical for everyday living as it is good-looking.

We love its relaxed, neutral look. Easy to style, lovely to the touch and one of those pieces that would feel right at home in just about any space.

Got a question about leather? Now’s your chance to ask the expert. 🤎

We had a visit from our lovely leather expert, Lindi, from Leather Link, so we thought we’d put her knowledge to good use!

Whether you’re wondering which leather is best for your home, how to care for it, what to look for when choosing genuine leather, or anything else you’ve always wanted to know, pop your questions in the comments below.

We’ll be answering them in an upcoming post. ✨

A matching pair, but with two very different beginnings. 🤎

For this project, we reupholstered an existing Chesterfield and then manufactured a second one to match, creating a pair that feels as though they’ve always belonged together.

Both were finished in genuine leather in this gorgeous Avocado Green, a perfect fit for the warm, earthy character of the Hunters And Collectors Taxidermy space.

We love seeing the two sitting side by side in their new home. ✨

A huge thank you to loomcraftfabrics for so generously sponsoring the beautiful Bougainvillea Yellow fabric from their Secret Garden range, and to Lee Duru for taking us along on this whole headboard journey from beginning to end. It’s been such a special one to share, and we’re so happy this beautiful piece has now found its new home.

Thank you as well to everyone who entered, followed along and showed Lee’s reveal so much love. ✨

SURPRISE! We’re giving one away! ✨

After revealing Lee’s beautiful new headboard, we thought: why should she have all the fun? One lucky person is going to win their very own custom-made queen-size headboard, just like Lee’s.

THE headboard reveal. 🤍✨

After all the planning, fabric choices, little details and a whole lot of excitement, Lee finally got to see her finished headboard... and that reaction says it all. 🥹

What started with a ruined headboard turned into something completely custom, made especially for her and her beautiful space.

A huge thank you to loomcraftfabrics for coming on board and so generously sponsoring the fabrics that helped us bring the whole look together.

Lee Duru, we hope you love your new bo***ir as much as we loved creating it with you. 🤍

And apparently there's still one little surprise to come... 👀
