Handmade sofa FAQs
Beaumont & Fletcher’s handmade sofas are meticulously brought to life in our English workshop by a team of highly skilled craftsmen. Each exceptional piece is beautifully designed to last a lifetime and beyond, and can be fully customised to meet individual style.
We understand that choosing the perfect piece of furniture can raise many questions, so to help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions.
How long does it take to make a Beaumont & Fletcher sofa?
The timeline can vary but typically ranges from 8 to 12 weeks, or longer, depending on the complexity of the design. For example, one of our signature designs in a standard size will take less time to make than a piece we are designing from scratch.
Do you have any ready-made sofas?
Our sofas are handmade to order, however, our showroom display pieces are available to purchase for immediate delivery, and carry a 20% discount.
Do you create bespoke sofa designs?
Yes, as well as our signature pieces, we can create and build new designs from scratch. The process typically involves a consultation to discuss requirements, reviewing design options, creating a design plan and then manufacturing and delivery.
Do your sofas come with matching chairs?
Some, but not all of our sofas have matching chairs. You’ll find the full collection on our website and in our brochure.
Do you have any modern sofas?
We create designs that effortlessly transition from contemporary to traditional settings through the choice of fabric and finish. Our team can help you create the perfect piece for your particular setting.
Can you adjust the size of the sofa?
Our handmade sofas come in standard and bespoke sizes, so each piece can be adapted to suit a particular space making them larger or smaller as required. We can also make adjustments to the height of the seat or the back, and create bespoke new designs on request.
Do you have sofa beds?
We don’t have a sofa bed range as such, but some of our sofa designs can be made into sofa beds. Our team will be able to advise on this.
What are the options for upholstery fabric?
One of the many joys of our handmade sofas is that they can be upholstered in any fabric from our own collection or in a customer’s own material, meaning there are infinite options. If you are choosing a fabric from elsewhere, we can order it on your behalf to ensure a seamless customer service or you can, of course, provide it yourself.
Do you make leather sofas?
All of our sofas can be made in any fabric or leather from our own collection, or elsewhere.
Other than the choice of fabric, what are the options for customisation?
We have lots of different options to help you create a truly unique piece of furniture. We can add decorative nailing or piping in a matching or contrasting fabric. And we can create skirts or add fringes. Embroidery is another possibility, on the back of the sofa perhaps, or on the skirt.
Do the sofa legs come in different colours?
You can choose from ten standard wood stains or we can create a bespoke finish if you have a particular colour in mind.
Do the sofa legs come in different designs?
The sofa legs are part of the frame itself and available in various designs. You can choose from a turned, straight or tapered leg for most of our sofa designs. We also have more ornate designs such as claw feet and faux bamboo.
Can I customise the cushion fillings?
Yes, you can opt for a super comfy feather and down cushion inner, or a feather and foam wrap, which is a firmer option requiring less plumping.
