Do you always run out of seating at Christmas? Is there always someone sitting on a patio chair or an odd stool?
Christmas is one of the busiest times of year for the majority of us and entertaining can get hectic in the dining room. Trying to find matching chairs to existing dining sets you have can be very difficult, but at Semper Hopkins Upholstery and Interiors, we are here to solve your dining chair worries.
Choosing the right fabric may seem like an arduous process. This is understandable considering all of the fabric types, colour and design that are available. How do you choose the one which is right for you?
Choosing a fabric for your upholstery crate can be difficult, especially when there are so many options available. There are various different aspects to choose from such as the pattern, colour and texture of the fabric. We thought it would be useful to share some fabric inspiration and how these have been used by our upholstery workshop clients in situ.
The 6th anniversary of Semper Hopkins Upholstery and Interiors nearly passed us by on the 30th June 2021. I was so busy working and finishing my year end accounts I nearly let it slip by without standing back to reflect on how far we have come in that time!
On Friday 18th June 2021 we hosted our first stool workshop which is one of our brand-new courses. What an amazing day we all had. All of the months of planning through these challenging few months have been absolutely worth it.
Do you have a set of dining chairs which need a revamp or simply don’t match your interiors anymore? There is no need to waste a perfectly good set of chairs when you have the chance to give them a completely new look! Instead of going out and buying a whole new dining set you can really get creative with fabrics to revamp your dining chairs and have the opportunity to have something completely different to what is on the high street.

Furniture can hold memories for lots of different reasons. A rocking chair passed down through generations or you may remember sitting in one during your childhood with a parent or grandparent, for instance.
We have some exciting news to share with you. In the coming weeks we will be relaunching our website with a new improved look, as well as some new features including a furniture quote builder for custom made furniture, two new upholstery workshops, and the ability to book our workshops as a group if you wanted to come with friends and family, a work event or hen party.
