Interior Designers and Decorators – a fresh vision – you deserve it.

There comes a time when fresh ideas are required. The family home has become ‘tired’, the children have moved out and it’s really your opportunity to re-decorate and create a new level of both style and comfort. It’s the perfect time to engage an Interior Designer or Decorator. And the base of good interior Design is fine furniture – classic or contemporary – from the Wills Collection of course.

Really, why not engage an Interior Designer? An Interior Designer is trained to view not just the items of furniture, but the entire living areas, the layout and how it best compliments the architecture and design of your home, yet pays homage to both your taste and your sense of style.

At Wills we work closely with a number of highly skilled and well renowned Interior Designers and Decorators. Experienced Interior Designers and Decorators will select from the Wills Collection the most appropriate upholstered furniture pieces – Sofas, Armchairs, Dining Chairs, Tub Chairs, Occasional Chairs and Ottomans. They will then select from our extensive range of fabrics, leathers and materials from the world’s leading suppliers. If required, your selected Designer will suggest modifications to suit the requirements of your home.

It’s time to prepare the Holiday House for Summer. Then it’s time to relax

The weather is improving with a few warmer sunny days providing a window on our coming summer. Now is the right time to prepare your holiday home for this year.

It’s time to call Wills Furniture for advice and possibly a new Sofa, Armchairs and Occasional Chairs – Refresh and renew. It’s Spring!

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 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.

Wills Furniture will provide you with a genuine honest appraisal of your furniture piece. An assessment of not just fabric, springs and webbing but also of the structural integrity of the furniture’s frame. it may be riddled with insect damage from termites to wood borers, in which case it’s pointless to restore it. The Wills team will advise you of a suitable and comparable replacement piece.
