Bespoke curtains in Colchester

We design and install made-to-measure curtains that are tailored to your windows, style and home. One of our consultants will visit you with fabric samples and advice, so you can see how everything works in your natural light and décor. Whether you’re after a clean, modern look or something richer and more textured, we’ll help you find your perfect fit.

Once you’ve chosen the fabric and heading, we’ll handle everything from measurement to installation. The result is a flawless finish that boosts warmth, enhances privacy, and brings the whole space together.

Furniture reupholstery in Colchester

Much-loved pieces deserve more than a throw or a quick fix – and that’s where we come in. We work on everything from sofas and footstools to dining chairs and heirloom armchairs. If the frame’s in decent shape, we’ll rebuild what’s needed and reupholster it in a fabric that works for your home and your lifestyle.

It’s a great way to preserve what you already love while giving it a new lease of life. You’ll keep the comfort and fit of the original, but with a refreshed style that feels made for today. Every stitch, cut and finish is handled with the care we’re trusted for.

There’s no charge for a home visit in Colchester, and no pressure to commit – just helpful advice and a clear quote if you’d like one. Call us on 0800 019 0505 and we’ll take it from there.
