Upholstery is one of the most transformative ways to refresh an interior — giving new life to a much-loved chair or sofa, or creating a new piece made to your specification. Reupholstery is also more sustainable and often more cost-effective than buying new, letting you keep pieces that suit your space or hold sentimental value.
Upholstery is a specialist trade in its own right. At Hay Interiors the work is carried out by a trusted upholsterer we partner with, while Annie guides the part she knows best — selecting fabrics that suit both the look you want and the daily use of the piece, and coordinating with your curtains and blinds so everything feels considered together.
Annie can advise on fabrics that work with your existing or planned window treatments — matching exactly, or creating considered contrast and texture from our fabric library. We take time to understand how the piece will be used and what durability and comfort it needs, so the result is beautiful and built to last.
Because upholstery so often sits alongside curtains and blinds in a room, coordinating them from the start makes a real difference. Whether you’re reviving a single heirloom chair or commissioning new pieces for a whole room, Annie brings the same eye for proportion, fabric and finish that defines our curtain work — so your upholstered furniture feels like a considered part of the interior rather than an afterthought.
The best way to begin is to visit our showroom in Nedlands. You can explore hundreds of fabric samples, see finished examples, and often watch work happening in the attached workroom. Annie or a member of the team is always happy to talk through possibilities and answer questions.
Alternatively, we can arrange an in-home consultation at a time that suits you. This has the advantage of enabling us to consider your actual windows and provide advice on the best window dressings for your space.
Either way, you will receive honest, expert guidance focused entirely on what is right for your windows and your home.
We look forward to helping you create window furnishings you will love for many years to come.
