Creating beautiful soft furnishings and upholstery from our purpose built workshop in Yorkshire; PLUS a regular schedule of upholstery courses for all abilities. Our selection of unique hand crafted footstools and made to measure blinds are complemented by our range of made to measure curtains, and our expert skills in restoring cherished pieces of furniture.
Visit our portfolio page for examples of made to measure roman blinds, hand made footstools, made to measure curtains and more. And if you have the time and motivation to learn the skills required to make your own soft furnishings, or to learn to upholster, come and join one of our many upholstery courses. We run upholstery training courses throughout the year covering a wide range of skills and catering for all experience levels.
Our "Make a Footstool in a day" course takes place on Saturdays, and is a fantastic introduction to upholstery. The day is very "hands on" and will lead to a completed footstool in 6 hours, ready to take home and use.

Services
People develop attachments to pieces of furniture for different reasons - some pieces have family history, some suit a particular room, some just feel right.
But like all pieces eventually they need some TLC.
Herringbone will take your favourite piece and reupholster it for you - maybe just a simple top cover replacement, or a total rework is required, with the piece being stripped back to the frame.
Ottomans provide useful storage in any bedroom, and come in many styles and sizes.
The grey Ottoman shown here perfectly complements the dark wood four poster bed and is an example of an auction purchase that has been fully restored retaining the original horsehair padding, brought back to life with the addition of a beautiful fabric.

Upholstery training is taught by Jan at our purpose built workshop in Almondbury under the name of Manorhouse School of Upholstery.
We are only a mile from Huddersfield town centre and are easy to find with plenty of parking onsite.
Jan is City and Guild qualified and previously taught upholstery courses and sewing courses for Kirklees College.
Students work in small groups, with mixed abilities and ages.
New students are encouraged to begin with a small item of furniture such as a drop in seat, a small footstool, or even a headboard.
