Furniture Reborn

 

Helping a client restore a treasured antique or family heirloom is one of the most gratifying aspects of our work. If the client wants a faithful reproduction of the original upholstery we conduct exhaustive research to come up with just the right materials and techniques that will allow us to return a worn and weathered chair or sofa to its original brilliant state. 

 

But our custom upholstery services extend far beyond bringing precious antiques back to life. We also work with business clients who may want anything from branded upholstery for an executive boardroom to custom upholstery for chairs in a hotel lobby. Whatever type of custom upholstery our clients need we provide it.

The Benefits of Custom Upholstery

 

Custom upholstery is the kind of thing that can turn an ordinary decor into something worthy of Architectural Digest. (In fact, Jerome Shorter upholstery has appeared in that venerable publication as well as other high-profile periodicals.) It’s an unmistakable investment in your quality of life and it provides a wealth of benefits including:

 

  • A personal statement: Custom upholstery allows you to make an unequivocal statement about your likes and tastes. It’s a unique way to put your personal stamp on your home and prevent your interior from becoming just one more cookie-cutter decor.
  • Durability: The custom made upholstery you get from Jerome Shorter will be produced to the highest standards using traditional methods and top-quality materials. It will stand the test of time like nothing you will find in your average furniture shop.
  • Long-term value: By standing the test of time the custom design upholstery we create for you will provide outstanding long-term value and may well turn out to be one of the most cost-effective furnishing decisions you ever make.
  • Environmental responsibility: Dressing an older piece of furniture in custom upholstery instead of ditching it and replacing it with something new is the environmentally responsible choice. You get what is essentially new furniture without contributing to resource depletion. 
  • Enhanced quality of life: Custom upholstery is going to enhance the quality of your domestic experience from the first time you see it. Everyone wants a home they are proud of, eager to return to and comfortable spending time in. Custom upholstery from Jerome Shorter helps create that.
  • Making your neighbours green with envy: Let’s face it, people choose custom upholstery from Jerome Shorter at least in part so that they can see their friends and neighbours turn green with envy when they see and experience it. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

 

Whether you want custom made upholstery for your living room furniture, the chairs of your dining set or you want a custom upholstered headboard for your bedroom the experts at Jerome Shorter will provide you with the highest quality version of each. 

We use only the highest quality materials to create our custom upholstery along with techniques that have proven their immense worth over time. We treat each project with the care and attention it deserves and never try to pressure our customers into accepting something they didn’t ask for or need.

Call us old fashioned but we believe in the value of listening and providing the customer with what they want. To us, that is the best kind of customer service.

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.

Traditional Re-upholstery

Our Collection

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!
