Making a Bold Statement

Making a Statement with Bold Curtaining,

Just look at these curtains, don't they make a statement? They look stunning. We cannot believe just how much these curtains have changed the look of our sitting room. Everyone needs a feature in their sitting room which draws the eyes of visitors. We don't want them first to notice a large TV screen, Visitors usually commented on the picture we have over our mantle. But we believe that that will now change. The first thing the visitor will notice and comment on is the bold statement of our curtains.

Not only do they look stunning from a distance, but also when making a close examination of the workmanship. Hand sewn curtains. Perfectly balanced pelmet. Material covering also on areas not seen without searching. Not just a bold statement but also superb workmanship to a faultless excellence that words cannot express.

The fitting and covering on the pelmet proves - if you need proof - that these are competent upholsterers. My my, how words fail me.  Skinner Upholstery for hand made quality workmanship.

Here are some of the pictures we made when Phil and Sandrea visited to fit the sitting room curtains.

Everything just so. Notice how this is covered with material.

Everyman's nightmare. Hanging heavy curtains.

Some would end the job here. We would have. That's it!

Fitting the pelmet.

Look back and check all is correct. Phil's job done.

Look at the pelmet from the back. Fully covered with material.

Sandrea checks all is 100% correct. Just so !

You can see quite clearly that these two are masters of what they do. They do not only make fantastic hand sewn curtaining and upholstery. They are by far the best at their work that we have ever come across. We are sure that you can see from this alone, they are unique.

Save on heating costs, by fitting curtains

Usually Skinner Upholstery say - we do not ask. If asked do you have any pictures the reply is the same - No?

They do a job as requested put their 100% into it and the customer takes it away or they deliver and fit curtaining. What ever they do you can be sure you have a team of crafts person old school. Old school as in, it is done really well. Quality workmanship. Possibly why they don't ask. They know their work is good and they know that their customers are well satisfied.

They also fail to take pictures of their work. Pictures tell a story without much needed in writing. Pictures are so important to show what a business can do.

Here is where I come in. I love to write and love to take pictures. Plus fortunately my wife and I have employed Skinner Upholstery to do a few jobs in our home.

First as my wife wanted to change our dining room into a lime green, we needed our blue dining chairs re-upholstered into green. They look really good now.

Then there is the hallway. Last year we had the carpenter/builder Wots Wot extend our entranceway and  give us more internal space.  Now we needed a curtain to stop the draught and cold and to get the quality we needed Skinner Upholstery.

On 1st February Phil and Sandrea called to fit the new hallway curtain. My, what a difference we noted overnight. We have also noted just how these curtains are cutting down how often the heating is cutting in. Now this is a good thing! Cutting down on heating costs is something we all need to think about.  I Know that they have added pictures under "Curtains"

Shutting the cold out and keeping the heat in.

First thing I noted in the morning was the difference in the temperature between the hallway and  the other side between the curtain and the door. It had been a very frosty night and our car was white with frost. Our hallway was pleasantly heated, although as I remarked the heating was not running as it used to. I opened the curtain to take something's out to our bins, I felt the difference. It was like stepping down in temperature from the warm hallway and the cold the other side of the curtain to the freeze outside.  See more pictures LINK  then scroll down.

More than just upholsterers alone.

This blanket box was made to order from scratch. 


It did not start off as a box that needed recovering, but was ordered as a covered box. This meant that Phil Skinner had to first make the box and then cover it. 


Just look at the quality. It is unique as Phil made only the one.


Nothing is too much trouble for Skinner Upholstery.
