Made-to-measure curtains can make a real difference to your space – adding style, comfort and a perfectly tailored finish. We’ll come to you in Sunderland with fabric samples and expert recommendations, so you can get a feel for how each material will work in your room before making a decision.

Our team handles every part of the process, from measuring to installation. Once they’re in place, your new curtains will help soften the light, reduce draughts and add a polished touch to the room’s design.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is reupholstery worth it?

Absolutely — if your furniture has a solid frame, reupholstery is often far better value than buying new. You’ll keep the quality craftsmanship of your original piece while updating the design and fabric to suit your home. It’s also a more sustainable choice, reducing waste and extending your furniture’s life.

2. Can I choose my own fabric?

Of course! Your consultant will bring hundreds of fabric samples to your home, including a wide range of colours, patterns, and textures. Whether you prefer traditional designs or modern styles, we’ll help you find the perfect match for your space

3. How do I care for my reupholstered furniture?

Caring for reupholstered furniture is easy. We recommend regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and prompt cleaning of any spills. Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight to prevent fading, and rotate cushions occasionally for even wear. During your consultation, our expert will provide fabric-specific care tips to keep your new upholstery looking its best.

4. Can I reupholster furniture that isn’t originally from Plumbs?

Yes — we can reupholster almost any well-built piece of furniture, whether or not it was originally made by Plumbs. As long as the frame is solid and in good condition, our skilled upholsterers can restore it to a high standard using your chosen fabrics and finishes.

5. What happens during the free home consultation?
