Upholstery Design

Sussex & Kent

Upholstery design brings softness, comfort and refinement into an interior. At Alx Gunn Interiors, we design bespoke upholstery solutions that enhance both new and existing furniture, creating pieces that feel tailored and considered.

We focus on proportion, texture and fabric selection to achieve a cohesive interior finish.

How Do You Choose the Right Upholstery Fabric?

Selecting upholstery fabrics requires careful consideration of durability, texture, colour, pattern and lifestyle requirements. Homes with children or pets, for example, may require more hardwearing materials, while formal spaces may benefit from luxurious natural fabrics. We carefully guide clients through fabric selections to ensure every piece is both practical and beautifully suited to the space.

Soft Furnishings with Purpose

We design upholstery that balances comfort with visual appeal, ensuring each piece contributes to the overall design language of your home.

Can Existing Furniture Be Reupholstered?

Reupholstering existing furniture can be an excellent way to preserve cherished pieces while giving them a completely new appearance. By selecting new fabrics, trims and finishes, existing furniture can be transformed to complement a refreshed interior scheme while retaining its original craftsmanship and character.
