Here’s a little round-up of what we’ve been up to lately – and no, it’s not hibernating from this terrible January weather ❄️
We’ve been busy making and installing bespoke seating, creating custom pieces tailored to each space, and keeping the workshop very much alive and buzzing. Full steam ahead despite the winter gloom.

When you think upholstery, you probably picture chairs and sofas… but we do so much more!

We recently created and installed these custom acoustic wall panels for RDS Fire & Security Systems in Braintree, Essex — adding both style and sound control to their workspace.

These panels are perfect for offices, studios, meeting rooms, or anywhere that needs a little peace and quiet (with a lot of personality!).

DEEP BUTTONED BANQUETTE SEATING - HAWK'S NEST, SHEPHERD'S BUSH, LONDON

We’ve just finished creating bespoke deep buttoned banquette seating for Hawk’s Nest in Shepherd’s Bush.

If you haven’t been, Hawk’s Nest is one of West London’s hidden gems – a buzzing spot known for its stone-baked pizzas, seasonal cocktails, and beautiful garden bar. Now their guests can enjoy all of that from our hand-crafted seating, designed for comfort, style, and plenty of good times.

Big thanks to the Hawk’s Nest team for trusting us to bring this project to life – we love seeing our work become part of such a lively, welcoming space.

Designing a Dining Room That Tells a Story

The dining room is more than just a place to eat—it’s a stage for conversation, connection, and memory-making. Whether it’s an everyday family meal or a long, laughter-filled dinner party, the way this space is designed directly shapes the atmosphere. Creating a dining room that feels both inviting and impressive means striking a balance between comfort and style, and that starts with two key elements: bespoke dining chairs and statement lighting.

Check out our blog for more tips on how to create the perfect dining room https://www.williamaustinupholstery.co.uk/designing-the-perfect-dining-room-bespoke-elegance-meets-everyday-living/

From Drab to Fab!
We've taken an armchair that started life as a plain, tired, brown piece that had seen better days — unloved, lacklustre, and in desperate need of some TLC.
With fresh upholstery, refined detailing, and a whole new lease of life, it's been transformed into a stylish piece that would look right at home in any interior.
Sometimes, all it takes is a little vision (and some gorgeous fabric!) to turn “past its prime” into “pride of place.”

📸 Swipe to see the before-and-after magic!
