Beautiful effects by using high quality workmanship and materials

Workmanship
There's no point in using the top quality fabrics available from Allan Vaughan Limited and then destroying the look by inferior making-up.

Our workroom staff have many years' experience in furnishings. Critical elements such as curtain headings are made by hand in the traditional manner. In order to achieve the best finish possible we use five different types of sewing machines, each for a specific job. The result? Your rooms are comfortable and attractive, and will keep their looks for a long time to come.

Materials
Linings, interlinings, threads, heading tape, carpet underlay, corded curtains rails, poles...all these items and many more used in soft furnishings can be of differing qualities. We always use quality materials in our products. This gives you :-

• Linings which protect your curtains for many years.
• Carpet underlay which prevents undue wear on the carpet.
• Curtains moving effortlessly on rails which easily suport their weight.
• Upholstered sofa and chair seats which maintain their shape and support.

Repeat orders and personal recommendations have always been vital to our success. The high quality of our products is one of the most important aspects of our business.

How do I buy soft furnishings from you?

You really need to visit our showrooms or make an appointment for us to see you in your home.

Because our soft furnishings are designed and made specifically for each location, it is very difficult to provide 'ready made' products which will do justice to the effect you want and the quality of materials used.

For fabrics, keep an eye on our Featured Fabric section which is regularly updated. You can find furnishing ideas from the suggestions and illustrations on this website, or from books and magazines.
