Our Services
Our services include bespoke re-upholstery, repair, and restoration of chairs, stools, and other furniture pieces. We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and desires, providing personalized solutions that meet their unique requirements. From modernizing a treasured family heirloom to creating a unique piece of furniture that reflects your personal style, we're dedicated to delivering exceptional results.
Expertise and Quality
Our proprietor, Paula Graham, is a qualified upholsterer through the Association of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishings (AMUSF). With years of experience in the industry, Paula has honed her skills in traditional upholstery techniques, ensuring that every piece that leaves our studio meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. We use only the finest materials, including wool, linens, velvet, and leather, to ensure that our finished pieces are both beautiful and durable.
Our Studio
Located in the heart of Dunfermline, our studio is based at the Fire Station Creative, a lovingly restored Art Deco building. Here, you can browse our extensive range of fabric books, gather inspiration from our workshop, and see our current projects in progress.
Upholstery Classes
In addition to our bespoke services, we also offer upholstery classes for those who want to learn the skills of traditional upholstery. Our classes are designed to be fun, informal, and informative, providing you with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle your own upholstery projects.
Customer Experience
The reviews highlight the excellent customer experience provided by the service. Customers praised the ease of the process, receiving good advice, and the quick turnaround of the work.
Quality of Work
The quality of work was a standout feature for both customers. The finished products exceeded their expectations, with one customer stating that the finished chair was "amazing" and another describing it as a "total conversation piece". The attention to detail was particularly noteworthy, with one customer describing it as "phenominal".
Personal Touch
The service seems to understand the sentimental value attached to the furniture being refurbished. One customer wanted to update a chair given by their mother-in-law, and the service helped them to create a beautiful piece that the mother-in-law even approved of.
