When crafting patchwork cushions, always stick to the same type of fabric for a smoother, easier process. Mixing different fabrics can be tricky, as they handle and sew differently, making your project more challenging. Keep it simple and enjoy creating beautiful, cohesive designs!

Welcome Spring with Fresh, On-Trend Updates for Your Home

As we move into spring, it’s the perfect time to breathe new life into your space. Consider warming up your curtains and blinds with uplifting tones like terracotta and soft magnolia. These earthy hues bring a cozy, inviting feel, while dusty blues and pink-infused neutrals offer a touch of subtle elegance.

Looking to refresh your furniture? Bold, tactile fabrics like velvet and boucle are making waves this year. Think bright, statement pieces that add personality and texture to your space. Oversized sofas are also on the rise, bringing both comfort and style to eclectic interiors.

Don’t forget, reusing and revamping your current furniture isn’t just cost- —it’s also a win for the environment. Adding new fabrics or finishes can completely transform a piece while keeping sustainability in mind.

We predict that ‘Rustic’ and ‘Nostalgic’ will be the buzzwords of the year, bringing timeless charm and character into every room.

Converted Water-Powered Corn Mill – Kingston, Devon
We’ve had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Woodford Architecture and their clients to create stunning soft furnishings, from elegant curtains and blinds to beautifully crafted scatter cushions. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Kingston in the picturesque South Hams region, this project was truly a joy to bring to life.

To achieve a luxurious and sophisticated finish, Woodfords carefully selected exquisite fabrics from Chase Erwin, Dedar, Thibaut, and Izmir.

Charming Property – Plymouth, Devon
For this lovely home in the heart of Plymouth, we crafted elegant bedroom curtains using Swaffer’s Alhambra Candela Linen in Pale Pink. The final look was truly stunning, and our clients were absolutely delighted. We’re currently working on their children’s rooms with dreamy fabrics from Ian Sanderson—stay tuned for photos in the next edition!

Beautiful Property – Wadebridge, North Devon
This has been an exciting, ongoing project since August last year, transforming various spaces throughout the home. So far, we’ve created:

• Roller blinds for the kitchen
• Curtains and roller blinds for the guest room
• Curtains and blinds for the children’s room
• New office curtains
• Lounge curtains
• Roman blinds and curtains for the sitting room
• Soft linen curtains for the landing window, using Ada & Ina’s Lulu Shadow

Each piece has been carefully chosen to complement the home’s character, and we’re thrilled with the results!

A Unique Challenge: Hot Tub Cover in Plymouth
This month, our upholstery team took on an unusual but exciting project—replacing the cover for a hot tub! It’s not every day we get a request like this, but we were up for the challenge. With plenty of precise angles and custom templates involved, our team showcased their craftsmanship and attention to detail. The result? A perfectly fitted, high-quality cover that looks fantastic. Check out the transformation below!

New Headboard and Reupholstered Wingback Chairs for a South Hams property
We recently crafted a bespoke, made-to-measure, wall-mounted headboard for a stunning 300-year-old property, using Bute fabric in the elegant Seafoam colourway. Made from 92% pure British wool, this fabric is the perfect choice for a project like this—timeless, luxurious, and durable.

Take a closer look at the image, and you’ll see our expert craftsmanship in action! We’ve carefully designed the headboard to seamlessly accommodate the plug socket, ensuring it remains fully accessible while maintaining a sleek and stylish finish. A perfect blend of tradition and modern functionality!

We’ve given these classic wingback armchairs a stunning makeover, reupholstering them in Linwood’s Tyger Tranquil fabric. This linen-mix textile features an organic, geometric weave that exudes a simple yet effortlessly relaxed feel—perfect for adding understated elegance to any space.

The result? A beautiful fusion of timeless design and modern texture, breathing new life into these beloved chairs!

Property in Kingston
Our very own team member, Jennie, decided it was time to refresh her kitchen with a splash of style! She chose our beautifully crafted Roman Blinds, made with Prestigious Paloma Palm fabric—and the result? A stunning, vibrant transformation that truly pops!

As we head into summer, we’re excited for the fabulous projects ahead.
We look forward to sharing more images and updates in our next newsletter!
