About Me

Hi, I'm Emily, the face behind Viaduct Upholstery. A few years ago I took the leap and left my corporate job to follow my passion for design and textiles, and retrained as an upholsterer.

 

The pandemic made a lot of people rethink their careers and reassess what was important in their lives. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to do this and turned my hobby of making beautiful things for family and friends into a business. 

​

I work mainly on commissions from customers across the North West, but I also love to rummage around antique and charity shops, looking for furniture to bring back to life. Its amazing what people decide to throw away – one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.

 

My work includes –

 

- Made to measure – cushions, window seats, bench seating 

- Chaises and love seats
- Any kind of chair

- Fixed seating for your home or business

- Footstools, ottomans and anything else you might think of.

​

If you're considering having an item upholstered or something made to measure, visit the Upholstery Services and Fabric pages for more information to help you decide.  I will be able to advise on what is most appropriate for your own piece of furniture.
