BESPOKE SOFT FURNISHINGS FAQ’S

  • In order to provide a quote, we’d love to have an initial phone call followed by a meeting at your home.

    We discuss the functionality and requirements for each window or room considering the setting, light sources, colour palette etc.

    Next we talk through budgets to steer the fabric options, taking into account personal preferences. We precisely measure each window and take photographs.

    Our quote would then break down:

    Labour costs

    Fabric, lining costs and quantities

    Cost of any soft furnishings required

    Fixtures and fittings

    Estimate on the fitting costs

  • At W&B we LOVE hunting out the right fabric to complement the flow of your home to create unity and give a finesse.

    We work to budget using the finest, natural fabrics from UK textile houses known for their quality and durability and will send you samples of shortlisted options.

    Some clients source their own fabrics, which we will thoroughly check before we take it into our workroom. Due to the procedures involved in this there is a 10% surcharge on any labour charges in your estimate and final invoice.

    We help with fabric choices for windows, upholstery and cushions - our ideas for finishing flourishes include glorious trimmings from favourite passementeries.

  • Once the key decisions are made, the fabric has been selected and the deposit has been paid, it usually takes 4-6 weeks to installation. However, this does depend upon all items being in stock at the time of ordering, we will update you if there are any potential delays. Just to note that the run up to Christmas can be especially busy so lead times are longer at this time. If you have a deadline please let us know ASAP!

  • Yes! We specialise in designing bespoke interior design for your home. With that in mind we make all our headboards, window dressings and soft furnishings to order. Since no two windows are ever the same we are painstakingly accurate, if we’re unsure of any detail we will always revisit and check the final details.

  • We install every project ourselves working with an experienced team of independent fitters. Often headrails or poles will be fixed in advance of making the window dressing, we believe in precision measurement to ensure the best fit and function even with the wonkiest window frames and walls. We ensure everything is hung to perfection and can do final tweaks if necessary.

    We will always advise also on the aftercare that any items might require.
