Custom Made Upholstery Sussex

 

The creation of upholstery in Sussex that is both highly functional and aesthetically enduring requires patience, experience, knowledge, material expertise and a comprehensive understanding of the underpinnings of great upholstery.

 

Those underpinnings are crucial to the finished product and include:

 

  • The frame – The frame should be constructed of a quality hardwood such as beech, ash or mahogany in order to provide robust support. The frame also establishes the overall shape and volume of a chair.
  • The springs – Springs play a subtle but crucial role in establishing comfort. They should be of the highest quality and need to provide just the right amount of give when one sits down.
  • The deck – The deck is that combination of fabric and padding that separates the springs from the cushions. It needs to be durable and not compromise the function of the springs or the cushions.
  • The cushions – The cushions are the part of a chair or sofa that we have the most direct contact with. If your cushion experience is bad, your experience of the chair will be bad, regardless of what else it has going for it.

Our Process

At Jerome Shorter, we have a well-established process for ensuring the success of each project. It begins with our attitude, which is that every project is unique. We receive your enquiry either by phone, email or our contact form. We will usually want to talk directly to you at some point and we will need to see photos of the furniture in question.

 

Should our artisans deem it necessary we will request a visit to your Sussex home so that we can assess the piece or pieces in person. During the visit, the designer will listen to your input, provide suggestions and recommendations on materials, colours and other aesthetic and functional elements and work with you to arrive at an upholstery solution that dovetails with your wishes.

We leave the high-pressure sales techniques to others. No fabrication of any kind occurs until you are 100% satisfied with the proposed upholstery.

Bespoke Upholstery

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!
