Finished, delivered and fitted.
This bespoke winged headboard and twin bed bases became one of the more technically and mentally challenging projects I’ve taken on in a long time.
The scale alone was a challenge — from physically collecting and manoeuvring the heavy bed bases, to designing the headboard so it could fully dismantle into four sections for transport through narrow staircases and doorways before being reassembled and fitted precisely around the skirting boards with no visible gaps.
There were moments of doubt along the way. Fabric supply delays, scheduling pressure, cashflow stress and the constant balancing act of managing customer expectations while trying to maintain the standard I expect from my work.
But with some valued help from and , I pushed through and completed a piece I’m genuinely proud of — and most importantly, one my clients are happy with.
Projects like this remind me that bespoke upholstery isn’t just about making furniture. It’s problem solving, perseverance and refusing to compromise on quality, even when things get difficult.
