Clients can choose from classic or contemporary designs, with options for cushion fillings, fabric textures, and finishing details.
Bespoke Chairs
We create tailored chairs for dining, lounging, or decorative purposes, combining ergonomic design with aesthetic appeal. Options include armchairs, dining sets, and accent chairs, available in various fabrics and finishes. Each piece is handmade to ensure structural integrity and long-term comfort.

I have use S. Rouse & Co over a period of several years. I have had in then past a fabulous sofa created for me using William Morris fabrics. It has become both a focal point in my home and a timeless classic that looks as good today as the day it was delivered. I had no hesitation to go back recently to have another sofa made that has not disappointed. Classy pieces of furniture stand the test of time and therefore are worth the investment.

David and his team have just returned our 100 year old sofa beautifully restored and recovered in William Morris print. Despite delays outside of their control they kept us regularly updated on progress. It looks amazing. Thanks!!

We recently had dining chairs and 2 armchairs recovered by Rouse & Co, as well as purchasing a new sofa and 2 chairs from them. The service in the showroom was professional, efficient yet friendly; they really know their stuff. Their deliverymen were friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend them. We are delighted with the result
