I'm absolutely thrilled with the incredible work done by Emily Farncombe Upholstery! They brought my vintage 1980s Habitat sofa back to life, and it looks better than ever. From new webbing to top-notch foam and stunning new bottle green leather Futura leather in Lancashire, they spared no detail. Emily's craftsmanship is top-class - she clearly cares deeply about her work and the customer's vision. They worked with me to match the leather perfectly to our interior, and the result is just stunning. If you need upholstery work done, look no further! 😊"

Emily was recommended to me for my sofa that needed recovering. I am really pleased with the result. I chose the fabric myself with some helpful guidance from Emily who then ordered it. The job was done in good time, she kept me updated, with pictures and I was able to visit her studio before the finished sofa was delivered. Emily offers a really personable service, I would highly recommend her and would have no hesitation using her services again.

Finding Emily years ago was a true find. She has restored and rejuvenated several old tired chairs to me and given them (and me!) new life. Her enthusasm, love of fabric and detail and professionalism really do shine thru everything she does. Oh, and she always seems to complete her jobs remarkably quickly. Emily couldn't be more friendly...and reasonable. I will always return...and recommend Emily Farncombe at Weetwood Studios.

Emily and the team are fabulous. They have done an amazing job on re covering our dining room chairs, they look brand new and the colours are gorgeous. Emily really listened to what we wanted and advised on fabric. The work was completed quickly and to a very high standard. Can't wait for the team to now get their hands on an old family rocking chair and give it a new life... 🙌

Over the past few years Emily has reupholstered two sofas and made beautiful two headboards for my children’s beds. Working with her is such a positive experience. She is enthusiastic, friendly and the finished results speak for themselves. Her team are great and very efficient. I can’t recommend her more - in fact I’m already wondering what else needs upholstering in my home!
