This project involved the upgrade of bedroom furniture within a children’s residential care setting. The objective was to provide durable, safe, and supportive bedroom environments for young people living in residential care, many of whom have experienced trauma or family disruption.
The furniture solution needed to prioritise safety, resilience, and comfort while creating a calm, non-institutional environment that supports stability and wellbeing.
Furniture was installed with attention to detail to ensure secure fitting and consistent finish throughout the bedrooms. Infill pieces were used where required to reduce hiding or stash points, and anti-pick mastic was applied to enhance long-term durability and tamper resistance.
The project was delivered through close coordination with on-site teams to ensure the furniture integrated seamlessly into the residential setting.

This project involved the supply and installation of upholstered seating for a newly refurbished sunroom within a community hospice setting. The objective was to create a comfortable, welcoming space that supports relaxation, social interaction, and wellbeing for residents, visitors, and staff.
The furniture needed to enhance the existing refurbishment while maintaining a warm, non-institutional feel appropriate for an assisted living environment.
A coordinated seating solution was supplied, comprising a mix of upholstered armchairs and small sofas to suit different needs within the space. High-back and tub-style seating options were included to provide additional comfort and support, alongside more relaxed sofa-style seating to encourage conversation and companionship.
The chairs were upholstered in a range of carefully selected colours to add warmth and visual interest, helping to lift the space while maintaining a calm and reassuring aesthetic.
The furniture was delivered and positioned on site to create an inviting seating layout within the sunroom. Installation included unwrapping, placement, and removal of all packaging, ensuring the space was ready for immediate use without additional demands on staff.
This project involved the refurbishment and upgrade of bedroom headboards within a residential care home. The aim was to revitalise the bedrooms by improving comfort and appearance while maintaining a warm, welcoming, and domestic feel suitable for an assisted living environment.
The brief focused on achieving a high-quality result in a cost-effective way, with minimal disruption to residents.
Where headboards were structurally sound, a refurbishment approach was adopted. The existing fitted headboards were vinyl wrapped to refresh their appearance without full replacement.
A high-quality vinyl with a wood-grain texture was selected to introduce warmth and complement the existing bedroom furniture. This provided a durable, easy-to-clean surface well suited to a care home environment.
The works were planned to ensure minimal disruption to residents and staff. By refurbishing existing furniture where possible and introducing new bespoke items only where required, the project delivered a smooth and efficient upgrade to the bedrooms.
