We now have a much wider reach across the South West of England with a base in Ilminster, Somerset. We will now be covering all the way from the depths of Cornwall, up through Devon, Somerset and Dorset.
Get in touch with us for more info on how we can help your furniture.
Rattan, cane, wicker, bamboo, fibre, cordon, rush, you name it we can all get confused with what’s what when it comes to seat weaving and what's been used on your chair.
With the idea of passing on furniture items to family and friends for its next life becoming more prevalent we’re here to provide you with a specialist restoration service for your seating. We even offer bespoke weaving services for fine furniture makers and designers looking for a higher end level of finish.
Covering the majority of the South West including Somerset, Devon and Cornwall and occasionally the rest of the South and London we’re always happy to arrange collections and deliveries or whatever suits.
For more information drop us an email to boughtwoodrestoration@gmail.com
We are pleased to announce we now offer a fabric range through Camira Fabrics called Oceanic, born from the SEAQUAL INITIATIVE. The initiative challenges plastic pollution and helps to clean our oceans of marine litter, helping society move towards a circular economy. It is an organisation bringing together small and large companies, fishermen, all the way through to NGOs in order to clean our Oceans and waterways.
I ran out of DIY last week, how about you…?
There’s always upholstery…
I wrote the Grazia Girls’ ‘Guide to re-upholstering your furniture’ a couple of years ago. During these bizarre weeks while we’ll be spending a fair amount of our time looking at the interior of your houses thinking ‘ooo what can I fix today’ it seems appropriate to dig the article out of the web and forward you all a little link.
I’m Lucy and I have a (un)healthy habit of saving chairs from landfill, charity shops and roadsides. The majority of my furniture at home is second hand, salvaged and self-made. I just LOVE furniture, it’s an essential part to our daily lives, it adds character and warmth to our home and it’s so so important for daily functioning, and so much fun to use it to personalise your home.
Renewing, restoring and re-upholstering your furniture for the next generation is always a much better idea than buying something new - no matter how nice that sofa in ‘The Big Sofa Warehouse’ is.
But when you choose to restore your furniture, have you ever considered where the new fabric has come from? Where has it been? Where was it manufactured? Who handled it?
We’re pretty lucky in Cornwall - miles of amazing coastline, beaches galore and 365 days a year of sunshine (sort of). Another thing we’re not short of is junk shops, salvage yards and great places to pick up second hand furniture.
If you’re anything like me and love to pick up some cheap furniture and spend some time restoring it to make it amazing, read on!
