Home Furnishings

Whether you’re buying new furniture or reupholstering an old favourite, fabric selection is one of the most important choices you’ll need to make! With so many fabric options available it can become a bit overwhelming to know where to start . After working closely with our clients on a wide variety of upholstery projects, we’ve found that a lot of people have questions about how to make an informed choice. Your furniture should be a long-term investment and making the right decision when choosing upholstery starts with getting to know your options! We have put together a handy guide to cover some of our favourite upholstery fabrics so you can feel assured to decide what is best for you!

As winter approaches, insulation is a top priority. A well-insulated home improves comfort, productivity and limits heat loss—reducing your energy expenditure. With up to 30% of a homes total heat loss occurring at the window, significant gains can be made with an insulated, functional window covering.

We are all about window furnishings at Feather and Oak Interiors and believe they not only provide practical function but also character and style to your room. There are many beautiful window furnishing options out there and although there are stunning bespoke fabrics and premium shading solutions today we wanted to talk about the ways you can approach your windows with a cost-conscious mind-set. I believe there are two key ideas here - there is more to your window furnishings than the initial purchase price. If selected well and fit-for-purpose your window furnishings should save you money over time through your heating and cooling bills. Effective window solutions should help you maintain heat in your home during the cooler months and assist with keeping the hot sun out during the summer. A second key point is that your fabric does not need to be in the upper price bracket to look beautiful. We place much importance on the manufacturing and placement of your curtains - an expensive fabric that is poorly manufactured and ill-suited to the room will cheapen the overall effect whereas our highly skilled workroom can sew a cost-conscious fabric to look beautiful. I have asked Liv, our windows furnishings expert, to talk us through some of her top tips for cost saving solutions for your window treatments. Not only does Liv have lots of experience consulting about the best window solutions she has recently built her own first home and has used lots of the advice below to create lovely window furnishings in her home. Take it away, Liv!
