When it comes to transforming your living space, few things have as much impact as custom-designed sofa covers. Recently, we had the privilege of working on a unique project for a client, refurbishing their two Multiyork sofas with new, bespoke sofa covers and interior upgrades. This case study showcases how attention to detail, premium fabrics, and craftsmanship can breathe new life into cherished furniture.
Our first task was to refurbish the client's Medium Parnell sofa, a beloved piece that needed both aesthetic and functional enhancements. We designed and created a brand-new set of bespoke sofa covers using Bennison’s Injigo Bright Blue fabric. Bennison, an esteemed English fabric company, is renowned for its hand-printed textiles based on 18th and 19th-century English and French designs. This fabric brings a rich historical context while maintaining a timeless appeal, making it the perfect choice for high-end designer sofa covers.
Bennison’s fabrics are made in small batches on linens and silks woven exclusively for the brand, ensuring both quality and uniqueness. Their striking designs, originally curated by the legendary antique dealer and decorator Geoffrey Bennison, add a sophisticated yet romantic touch to any piece of furniture.
In this project, we replaced the seat and back interiors, restoring the comfort of the sofa. Additionally, we replaced the calico on the frame, ensuring the structure was as refreshed as its appearance. To complete the look, we added a pair of custom-made feather scatter cushions, elevating the overall aesthetic of the piece.
The second sofa also received a full makeover, with new covers crafted from Tinsmiths Ticking Sky, a traditional cotton ticking fabric. This fabric, featuring a crisp sky-blue herringbone stripe, is tightly woven and highly durable—ideal for upholstery projects. The timeless, versatile design of Tinsmiths Ticking Sky fabric helped create a classic, yet contemporary look that perfectly complemented the room’s existing décor.
Much like the Medium Parnell, we replaced the seat and back interiors of this sofa, providing renewed comfort and longevity. The Tinsmiths Ticking Sky fabric not only refreshed the appearance of the sofa but also added a traditional charm, making it a versatile piece that fits beautifully in modern or vintage-inspired interiors.
Refurbishing sofas is not just about making them look new; it’s about blending style, functionality, and craftsmanship to create a product that feels as good as it looks. Our attention to detail and access to premium designer upholstery fabrics ensures that each project is completely tailored to the client’s specific needs. Whether you’re in search of bespoke sofa covers for a family heirloom or simply want to give your favourite sofa a fresh look, we specialise in creating pieces that stand the test of time.
We understand that every home is unique, and that’s why our bespoke approach allows us to collaborate closely with each client. From choosing the right fabric to ensuring a perfect fit, we make sure that every detail reflects your vision. By offering a wide range of high-quality fabrics from respected brands like Linwood, Sanderson, Bennison and Tinsmiths, we ensure that your refurbished furniture not only enhances your living space but also expresses your personal style.
One of the primary benefits of investing in custom-made sofa covers is the ability to tailor your furniture to your specific taste. Off-the-shelf options rarely provide the perfect fit or fabric quality that bespoke designs can offer. With custom sofa covers, you can choose from a wide array of designer upholstery fabrics, ensuring that your furniture complements your interior design while providing the durability you need for everyday use.
Additionally, bespoke covers can extend the lifespan of your furniture. High-quality covers protect the frame and interiors, reducing wear and tear over time. By opting for new covers instead of purchasing a brand-new sofa, you not only maintain sentimental pieces but also contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle by reducing waste.
If your furniture is in need of an update, we’re here to help. Our expertise in crafting new sofa covers and working with designer upholstery fabrics ensures that your sofa will look and feel brand new. From classic styles to contemporary designs, we can create bespoke sofa covers that suit your home’s unique aesthetic.
