Cushion Upholstery

 

Jerome Shorter offer bespoke cushion upholstery that elevates the humble cushion to a state of aesthetic and practical excellence.

How it’s Done

The process of creating world-class cushion upholstery is an exacting one involving a variety of specialist tools and high-quality materials. It is typically a 4-step process that involves:

  • Measuring and cutting the fabric according to plan.
  • Stitching the sides, double-checking the shape and size and adding buttons or zippers as required.
  • Inserting the appropriate padding material and closing the cushion.
  • Performing final adjustments or adding some finishing touches.

The Jerome Shorter Process

At Jerome Shorter we start every project with a clean slate. Our goal is not to see how many cushions we can pump out of our workshop, but instead to make sure that every piece of cushion upholstery we produce meets with 100% satisfaction from the client while simultaneously adhering to our own rigorous quality control standards. If you come to us for bespoke cushion upholstery you can expect the process to unfold in the following manner: 

 

The initial enquiry

Having become aware of our workshop you contact us and tell us what type of cushion upholstery you have in mind. Even at this early stage, it’s important that you provide us with as much information as possible. It would certainly help to email some photos so we have a clear picture of what the project will entail.

 

The site visit (optional)

While we often insist on conducting a site visit to see a piece or pieces of furniture in context, in the case of soft cushion upholstery it may not be necessary. It will depend on what type of cushions you have in mind. If it turns out it would be beneficial then we will arrange a site visit at a time of your convenience in order to nail down both aesthetic and practical details. 

 

Concepting the cushion upholstery

By this point, you have provided us with a good idea of exactly what kind of cushion upholstery you are looking for and so we are able to produce some mockups of what the finished product will look like. Nothing is etched in stone until you state your unequivocal satisfaction with the proposal. Once that happens our artisans get to work.

 

Creating the cushion upholstery

The final step in the process is to create the actual upholstery. In the Jerome Shorter workshop, we employ tried-and-true traditional methods to produce work of unparalleled quality. Our work has been featured in Architectural Digest, the Wall Street Journal, House & Garden and other prestigious periodicals so the cushions you ultimately receive with have an impressive pedigree.

Jerome’s team took on a very challenging task of reupholstering an Ottoman for me with my own fabric. They took so much care, and there was such great attention to detail. I am so pleased with the end result, it is beyond my wildest expectation. I’m really grateful to him and his team for the love and time put into it and for their ongoing communication wrt the process. Would 100% use them again and recommend to anyone looking for a job well done. Thank you so much. This piece will be held onto forever.

Jerome and his team has just completed the recovering of eight large leather dining chairs and a full set of fabric outdoor furniture (chaise, sofas and 10 dining chairs). These had all been owned and used for many years and we had feared they would require replacing. Not so! Jerome collected sad looking furniture and delivered back what looks like brand new replacements. Our furniture has been given a new lease of life and we couldn’t recommend Jerome Shorter Furniture enough. Not only is the work first class but the service and communication was exceptional. Thank you Jerome.

I can only describe the reupholster job of my large 3 seater and two chaise lounges handled by Jerome and his team as top class! It was an excellent re-enacting of my original luxury furniture, looked exactly the same! Their care and precision is commendable...I highly recommend them.

We wanted to recycle some modern leather dining chairs rather than replace them but we couldn't find the right contact who we trusted to do what we needed - we found Jerome and he immediately understood what we wanted and gave us some great advice and ideas. We are now extremely pleased to have 8 re-covered chairs which look amazing and so much better quality and value than buying new! The quality of the work is superb and we can't recommend Jerome and his team highly enough. We will be using them time and again to recycle/refresh other items which we already love (sofas, chaise longue, etc).

I had three pieces(a sofa and two wing chairs) to re-upholster which had never been in the same room together before. Mr. Shorter took pictures of the pieces and the carpet they had to coordinate with and gave me some design ideas. This did not work. He recommended stores where I could obtain swatches of fabric. After numerous attempts on my own Mr Shorter came again to my apartment and selected fabrics I had not thought to combine. A perfect choice and I could not be happier with the result-a fresh, colourful, contemporary design for the entire room. Excellent reupholstering for old furniture. I highly recommend Mr. Shorter to anyone who wishes to add new life to one or more pieces.

Jerome’s service is excellent. My company needed 3 items reupholstered and Jerome provided a quote with plenty of relevant fabric choices.
He collected each item individually and quickly returned each, keeping us up to date on the process.
Jerome’s customer service and punctual turn around of the items was great.
Well recommended.

John, Tunbridge Wells

We had four porter-style antique armchairs, a sofa and a chaise-longue extensively repaired and re-upholstered by Jerome. His work was meticulously professional, completed to a very high standard and delivered on time and to budget. His artistic judgement is thoughtful, helpful but never intrusive. This was a complicated and expensive job which he excelled in. We are already repeat customers.

Mr Paine, Horsmonden

Jerome’s work is amazing and he is a pleasure to do business with. I and my chair thank him!
