Our Process
Whether you are looking for a new upholstered footstool or you have a favourite footstool that needs to be reupholstered, it all begins when you get in touch with us.
We employ both traditional and cutting edge techniques including preliminary sketches that lay out our proposal in broad strokes. In some cases, we use 3D modelling with a 3D printer to provide you with a physical representation of what the final product will look like.
Once the design is approved, we use only the finest materials to bring your piece to life, including kiln-dried hardwood, traditional and contemporary fillings, twin-coil springs, and the perfect covering to match your tastes and decor.
Get in touch with Jerome Shorter
In most cases, upholstered footstools take 4 – 6 weeks to complete. When your piece is ready you have the option of stopping by our workshop and picking it up or having it delivered to your home. If you wish we can install the piece for you, saving you time and effort.
Upholstered footstools are the epitome of style, taste and opulent comfort. To learn more or to place an order for a new or reupholstered footstool get in touch with Jermone Shorter by calling us on 01892 725304, or write to us using the contact form on our website.

Footstools with a Purpose
Footstools may be small, but they rarely go unnoticed. From resting tired feet to offering extra seating when needed, their charm lies in their usefulness. At Jerome Shorter, we understand that a footstool should do more than just sit pretty.
Whether you need a place to put your feet up, somewhere to rest a tray with coffee and cake, or a space-saving storage solution, our footstools are as practical as they are beautiful. Covered in your chosen fabric and made by hand, each piece is a functional addition to your room that fits effortlessly into everyday life.
Some customers opt for large ottomans that double as a coffee table. Others choose small, square footstools that tuck neatly under a console or beside the sofa. However you use yours, it will earn its place in your home.
Shapes, Styles and Storage Options
Footstools come in all shapes, sizes and personalities. Some are made to stand out. Others are designed to blend in. We work with you to get the right balance of shape, fabric and use, so the finished piece suits your space just right.
Square footstools, rectangular ottomans, circular pouffes or long bench styles, our upholstered footstools can be made to suit any setting. A soft, plain fabric may help the piece settle quietly into the room, while a bolder pattern can add a bit of life to a neutral space.
And if you’re short on storage, we can build that in too. A lift-up lid, a deep compartment, or even a hinged top can be included, giving you somewhere discreet to store books, throws or toys.
Fabric Choices That Fit Your Home
The look and feel of your footstool starts with the fabric. We work with a wide range of upholstery options, from smooth velvets and soft linens to hardy cottons and natural blends. Each brings its own texture, colour, and comfort to the piece.
You may want a fabric that matches your existing sofa or choose something in contrast to create a talking point. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to guide you through the options and show you swatches to help you decide.
Whether you go for plain or patterned, bold or subtle, your fabric choice will bring your upholstered furniture to life and tie the footstool into the rest of your room.
Built to Last, Made to Enjoy
A footstool should feel as good as it looks, and last for years without fuss. That’s why all our bespoke footstools are handmade in our workshop using time-honoured methods and strong, quality materials.
Each frame is built using kiln-dried hardwood, glued and screwed for stability. The legs are chosen to match the style you’re after, whether you prefer a classic turned leg or something more modern and minimal. Fillings are selected for comfort and shape retention, while the outer layers are upholstered with care to ensure a neat, lasting finish.
From sketch to delivery, we’re here to make the process easy and enjoyable. Lead times vary depending on fabric choice and complexity, but we’ll always keep you updated. And once it’s ready, your footstool will be delivered with care, ready to take its place in your home.
