Weatherproof Covers

Cushions

Our custom cushion upholstery service is designed to breathe new life into any space, offering tailored solutions for both functional and decorative needs. We specialize in crafting cushions for a wide range of applications, including:

• Sofa and sectional cushions (replacements or upgrades for sagging seats)
• Outdoor patio cushions (weather-resistant fabrics for sun, rain, and mildew protection)
• Decorative throw pillows (unique shapes like bolsters, boxed edges, or scalloped designs)
• Ergonomic seat cushions (for office chairs, benches, or mobility aids)
• Pet bed inserts (durable, washable covers with orthopedic foam options)

A cornerstone of our service is our 15-tier foam density system, allowing clients to choose the perfect firmness for their needs—from ultra-soft plush foam (ideal for lounging cushions) to medium-firm (for everyday seating) and high-density support foam (for orthopedic or heavy-use furniture). We also offer custom shaping, using advanced cutting techniques to create contours, tapered edges, or unique profiles (e.g., curved boat seats, wedge-shaped wheelchair cushions, or sculpted headrests).

For added versatility, we provide custom covers in hundreds of fabrics, including stain-resistant, antimicrobial, or luxury materials like velvet and linen. Whether you’re restoring a vintage piece, upgrading outdoor furniture, or designing a one-of-a-kind cushion from scratch, we combine precision craftsmanship with personalized service to meet your vision.

Curtaining

We offer a complete curtaining service that includes expert consultation, high-quality fabric selection, precise measuring, and professional installation. Our services extend to all types of window dressings, from classic curtains to modern solutions—including the supply and fitting of rods, rails, and the innovative Wave Track system, a sleek, contemporary track design that creates smooth, elegant folds for a seamless look.

Blinds

Additionally, we provide a full range of blind services to suit any space or style. Whether you need indoor blinds for privacy and light control, weather-resistant outdoor blinds for patios and verandas, natural wooden slatted blinds for a warm, textured finish, soft fabric blinds for a cozy feel, or elegant Roman blinds for tailored sophistication—we handle everything from measurement to installation with precision and care. Every product is customized to your preferences, ensuring functionality, style, and perfect fit.

Wood Restoration

When it comes to wood restoration, we take pride in offering a professional spray painting service that delivers flawless, long-lasting finishes for furniture, cabinetry, and architectural woodwork. Backing this service is our master carpenter, whose 30 years of hands-on experience ensures meticulous craftsmanship in every project. His expertise is further refined by training under his highly detail-oriented wife, whose keen eye for precision elevates the quality of every piece they restore together.

We are specialists in revitalising furniture with genuine leather, a material that demands mastery far beyond conventional upholstery. Unlike predictable fabric rolls, leather hides require expert precision: every scar, tick bite, and branding mark must be meticulously navigated, and every cut strategically planned to avoid weak or wrinkled sections like the stomach area. This isn’t just craftsmanship—it’s a science. We work with two distinct leather types: corrective grain, refined to a flawless, uniform finish for modern elegance, and aniline, prized for its raw authenticity, which embraces natural imperfections and evolves over time, developing a rich patina that tells your story. Here, leather isn’t just restored—it’s reborn with character.

Beyond technical skill, what truly sets us apart is our customer-first philosophy. No request is too challenging—whether it’s a unique restoration technique, a custom finish, or even guidance on projects outside our usual scope, we’re committed to finding creative solutions or connecting you with trusted specialists. Your vision is our priority, and we won’t consider a job complete until you’re thrilled with the results.
