Bespoke Soft Furnishings & Upholstery

    Thoughtfully designed. Beautifully made.

    Textiles bring warmth, depth and personality to a home. A beautifully proportioned cushion or a welcoming upholstered seat can change not just how a room looks, but how it feels.

    I design, source and coordinate soft furnishings for homes in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, considering how each piece complements your home, your lifestyle and the feeling you want to create.

    The pieces you live with

    From the pillow you reach for to the seat where everyone gathers, I consider comfort, proportion and everyday use alongside the beauty of the fabric.

    Bespoke pillows start at $300 each and range up to $500, depending on the fabric.

    Fabrics and wallcoverings work together to bring comfort, texture and personality to your home. For drapery, shades and the way light enters a room, explore my bespoke window furnishings. For a whole-home approach, visit Bespoke Interiors.

    Wallpaper as part of the whole

    Wallpaper can be the starting point for a room or the finishing detail that brings it together. I select wallcoverings alongside upholstery, cushions and other textiles, considering colour, scale, texture and how the patterns relate. From quiet grasscloths and printed papers to handpainted designs, the aim is a room that feels personal and considered.

    Many fabric houses also create beautiful wallcoverings, allowing me to source both through the same supplier network. The directory below includes specialist wallpaper houses to explore alongside those shared fabric and wallpaper collections.

    Made for your home

    Each piece is considered individually, from fabric selection and dimensions to pattern matching, inserts and fabrication. The result is a cohesive scheme with details that feel personal.

    Banquettes, sofas, benches and outdoor furnishings are tailored to the way you live.

    Design and sourcing

    I guide consultation, textile selection, measurements and specifications, drawing on trusted supplier relationships and a considered understanding of your space.

    Procurement and coordination

    I coordinate supplier and workroom orders, communication and delivery details so the scheme moves thoughtfully from selection to completion.

    A note on budget

    Feel first, design second.

    I like to discuss your budget early so I can recommend the right approach, whether that means ready-made designer pieces, fully custom furnishings or a thoughtful combination of both.

    Tell me about the corner, the room or the piece you have in mind. We can begin with how you want it to feel.
