The Holiday House Ready? Reupholster or renew your Lounge Suite with Wills Furniture.

For many people, it’s now time to prepare for the Holiday Season. For many there has already been a visit to the Holiday House on the Mornington Peninsula, the Surf Coast or similar locations. The sun can take its toll on fabrics and leathers, especially when you’re not there to take care of them 24/7. It may be now time to reupholster or simply purchase a new sofa, chair or combination.

Wills Furniture offer an expert reupholstery service. A family business, the Wills team have been maintaining valuable furniture for loyal customers, sometimes for generations.

The Wills team will take your valuable family heirloom sofa or armchair and refurbish it in exactly the same manner it was first crafted. You may choose to utilise some of today’s more sun-resistant fabrics, or select a fabric that is perhaps more in keeping with your requirements and lifestyle. The Wills team are genuine artisans and tradesmen, upholsterers, machinists and seamstresses who simply do not ‘cut corners’. You can rely on a perfect finish in every detail and your sofa, armchair or dining chair will appear refreshed and serviceable for years to come.

In this Anna Spiro Design project we featured a month ago, the Clivedon Sofa and Ottoman displayed are upholstered in ‘Carnival Green’ from the Christopher Farr Cloth Fabrics Collection. This is in fact an ‘outdoor’ rated fabric and it is specifically manufactured to be protected against sun damage.

Design – Luxury – Comfort

Wills Furniture – it’s simply the best.

Bespoke Design with Wills Furniture

For Interior Designers and Decorators the ability to present truly Bespoke Furniture design provides wonderful opportunities. However it is imperative that the furniture produced maintains the same high quality in materials, finish and craftsmanship as exhibited in the manufacture of traditional furniture. Wills Furniture has a wealth of experience in working with a wide range of interior designers and decorators. The Wills team can bring to life these designer visions and creations of bespoke furniture with real professionalism, craftsmanship and finesse.

It’s often that a space or living area requires a unique approach. Whether it is significant modifications to a selected Wills Collection catalogue item or in fact is an entirely new design, the Wills team of artisans and upholsterers can create the perfect replication of the design supplied and required.

From Modular Furniture, Ottomans, Bench Seating, Traditional Sofas and Armchairs to Bedheads, the Wills team will add life to any design and breath vitality into what then becomes a living design. The end result is a high quality finished piece of furniture, produced utilising the traditional methods and craftsmanship of the Wills team.

Modular Furniture can be produced to accurately fit spaces specified. Designers and Decorators can request small variations in height, in depth, cushion fill and overall comfort and feel.

Most Wills Collection Sofas can be configured to incorporate sofa beds. All the mechanisms and components required are available and can be supplied upon request. The Wills Collection Sleeper Mechanism has a fully sprung mattress and is thoroughly performance tested. Dependability and real comfort are assured.

From our Wills Collection this week we offer a selection of the more classical sofas and chairs.

Take a look at the Whitehall Sofa. With traditional Diamond Buttoning this beautiful chesterfield styled sofa speaks of luxury and comfort. With large splayed out scrolled arms featuring inset piping detail, the overall finish is class, simply stunning. The sofa is finished with chunky timber legs or piano sized casters – or a tailored skirt.

The Florence Sofa is another exquisite standard, a classical Victorian style sofa. It features a diamond buttoned upholstered back, large scrolled padded arms, polished legs and castors. It may well be a ‘standard’ but there is nothing ‘standard’ about this gorgeous sofa – it is an elegant piece of furniture that simply oozes class. It will complete any selected living space. And if you prefer it can be provided with a full fluted skirt. With luxurious feather down cushions it is sublimely comfortable, overall it is a memorable and stunningly beautiful decorative piece.

From the same period we have the classic winged chair. Two that are ever popular are the Columbia Chair and the Kooyong Chair.

The Columbia, a classic winged chair with scrolled arms splayed out, piping facing detail and a pleated rolled edge, features a high wing back with fully sprung lumbar support. Polished Tasmanian Oak legs and stretcher rails create an elegant finish. Sumptuously comfortable with feather combination cushioning and a matching foot stool as an option, this is truly a chair to sink into and relax.

And finally, the Kooyong.

Again the Kooyong is a high backed winged chair, it also features adjustable Lumbar support, unique styled scrolled arms (top facing with a rounded front) and a traditional webbed seat, with sumptuous feather cushions, it too again is simply the chair to sink into and relax. Its cabriole legs are handcrafted and shaped from Victorian Mountain Ash and are highly polished.

With Wills you can trust the fine craftsmanship – from real artisans creating timeless and beautiful furniture – furniture to simply relax, enjoy and be delighted by.
