Wirebird Designs Services

From my studio in Eastergate, I specialise re-upholstery and handcrafted soft furnishings, including made-to-measure curtains, Roman blinds, cushions, bench seating and bespoke lampshades.

I offer both upholstery and soft furnishings under one roof, providing a fully tailored service from restoration to new design. I work with clients across West Sussex and beyond, using quality materials and traditional skills to create beautifully finished, bespoke pieces designed to be treasured.

An Award-Winning Upholsterer

With a City and Guilds Medal for Excellence and over eight years’ experience teaching upholstery and soft furnishings, I offer traditional and modern upholstery services that combine craftmanship, heritage, and design. Each piece is restored or reimagined with care, using high quality materials and time-honoured techniques to ensure a flawless finish.

Bespoke Reupholstery

I also provide bespoke reupholstery for clients seeking a custom look. Whether you would like to modernise a family heirloom or coordinate a set of chairs with your interior scheme, I’ll guide you through fabric selection, design options, and finishes to create something uniquely yours.

Soft Furnishings

I create bespoke cushions, bolsters, and soft accessories that bring comfort and cohesion to your living spaces. Each item is thoughtfully designed, with attention to pattern placement, trim, and texture – perfect for coordinating with your upholstered furniture or as a statement on their own.

Lampshades

My custom lampshades are designed to add personality and charm to any room. From traditional hand-stitched frames to modern drum designs, each piece is carefully constructed and finished with precision. I offer a bespoke lampshade recovering service to refresh and revive existing frames.

"Cherie re-upholstered an old lounge chair for me. She helped me choose the most appropriate fabric, gave regular updates while the job was in progress and did a fantastic job in terms of craftmanship and attention to detail; I was delighted with the end result. Highly recommended."

"I am lucky enough to have had my dressing table footstool upholstered by the lovely Cherie. The quality of workmanship is outstanding. I would definitely recommend Wirebird Designs to anyone thinking of having any upholstery work done."
