Sofas and armchairs
Full reupholstery: the piece is stripped back to the frame, checked, and the filling rebuilt before it is covered again. A well-made frame will take several reupholsteries over its life.

Bespoke furniture upholstery for villas in Marbella
Sofas, armchairs, headboards and made-to-order pieces for homes in La Zagaleta, Sierra Blanca or Nueva Andalucía. We work by the project — one room or the whole house — and for the interior design studios behind them.
Illustrative imageWhat we upholster in a home
Headboards
Upholstered headboards made to the room — plain, fluted or buttoned, in leather, linen or velvet.
Whole houses
When a whole house is upholstered we work from a single schedule of materials, so the drawing room, bedrooms and terrace belong together rather than looking like three separate orders.
For designers
Your fabric or your client’s, your pattern or ours. Before accepting a fabric we check its specification: some beautiful cloths simply aren’t made to be sat on.
What you don’t see
What lies under the fabric
Fabric is what gets chosen and the last thing to go on. What decides how long a piece lasts sits underneath, and that is what we look at first.
- The frame
- If it is solid timber with sound joints, the piece is worth the work. If it isn’t, we say so before we start — not after the invoice.
- The suspension
- Webbing or springs, depending on the piece. It is what keeps a seat from sinking in the middle, and the first thing to replace once it has gone.
- The filling
- High-resilience foam and wadding. In a house shut up for months at a time, materials that breathe, so it doesn’t smell of damp when you open up for the summer.
- The cloth
- For a piece in daily use, rub resistance proven by test. Beside a south-facing window, lightfastness as well: the sun here fades a cloth far sooner than it would further north.
How it is organised
Timing depends on the number of pieces and the material, and is set in the quotation rather than guessed beforehand. In a house under renovation, upholstery comes last, after the other trades have left — it is worth booking the slot early.

Where
Marbella, Benahavís, La Zagaleta, Sierra Blanca, Nueva Andalucía and the rest of the Costa del Sol. Pieces are made up at our workshop in Mijas Costa.
Questions we are often asked
Is it worth reupholstering, or better to buy new?
The frame decides. If it is solid timber and sound, it nearly always pays, and the piece leaves better than it arrived. If it is chipboard and has already moved, it doesn’t — and we will tell you before we start.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Yes, and many designers do. We only ask to see the specification first: if the cloth doesn’t have the rub resistance that piece needs, we will say so before cutting.
Do you work with interior design studios?
Yes. We work to the studio’s design, in their fabric or one chosen together, and the studio decides how the relationship with their client is handled.
How is it quoted?
By the project, once we have seen the pieces. There is no price per seat or per metre, because two sofas of the same size can need very different work inside.
Tell us about the house
Which pieces, where the house is, and whether there is a designer involved. That is all we need to prepare a first conversation.
