dual fabrics
Love a fabric but feel it’s too bold for an entire piece? Pair it with a second fabric in a neutral color, or more subdued pattern and create a style all your own!
skirts
A favorite traditional detail and an option for many of our sofas, loveseats, chairs, and ottomans. Ask for it in kick pleat, waterfall styles, and more.
BUT WAIT… THERE’S EVEN MORE!

Hand-tailored, fitted to our frames for a trim look, and available in a wide selection of versatile fabrics. A designer can show you which sofas, chairs, and ottomans they complement.
custom pillows
