At Jerome Shorter Furniture, we create modern upholstery that blends timeless craftsmanship with contemporary design. Our clients come to us for furniture that is not only visually striking but also designed for lasting comfort and everyday use. Each piece is a reflection of your personal style, brought to life with the skill and care of our master craftsmen.

Our approach to modern upholstery is simple. We listen closely, understand your ideas, and guide you through every stage of the process. Whether you want to refresh a favourite sofa, re-upholster dining chairs with a bold new fabric, or commission an entirely custom piece, our team ensures your furniture feels right for your home or commercial space. 

With us, modern design does not mean compromise; it means comfort, quality, and individuality.

Why Choose Modern Upholstery

Modern upholstery is about more than fabric choice. It is about structure, detail, and function. We take inspiration from clean lines, subtle textures, and innovative finishes that complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. By combining traditional techniques with modern materials, we produce pieces that are durable, stylish, and made to suit your lifestyle.

Our clients often tell us they value the reassurance of our collaborative process. From the initial design consultation to the delivery of your finished piece, we are transparent, approachable, and committed to the highest standards. This dedication has earned us recognition in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Telegraph, and Grand Designs.

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!
