Your furniture and upholstery are integral to a room and we endeavour to bring joy to your space, plus hopefully inspiring and educating too.

There are many good reasons to reupholster your furniture. You’ll get quality fabric, and will have impacted the environment less than buying a new piece. It is not always cheaper to re-upholster or make your own piece, but you are guaranteed quality and many of our clients enjoy the creative process.

Stripes are timeless, always smart they can lengthen or widen your furniture and upholstery. But it takes some thinking, which direction to run the stripe, especially the arms, if the stripe is wide should where to centre it, should you self pipe? It is interesting how the thin yellow Liberty stripe is worked across the arms on the sofa to the left.

These beautiful ottomans are upholstered in Misia-Paris’s graceful textiles. Luxurious and elegant, a well done ottoman becomes a piece in your room, and they are awfully useful too.

Velvet upholstery

The pile on velvet provides new challenges, ideally the velvet must run downwards, like cat fur. If it is very plush you may need piping, and for good velvet piping an experienced upholsterer is required. The quality of the velvet is very important and we are more than happy to show you the different types such as cotton, viscose or polyester, they all have their pros and cons.

Great fabric design, textures, colours & patterns, means an overwhelming myriad of choice nowadays. We try to help you refine decisions taking into account your aesthetic, functional requirements and budget.

One of the best simple pleasures must be blissfully lounging outside on a balmy tropical evening. Advancements in technology mean that outdoor fabrics are softer, more beautiful and durable. You can relax in greater comfort and style and BODE has a myriad of different outdoor fabrics to select from, all created to ensure the best from your outdoor oasis.

Elegant and luxurious indoor-outdoor fabrics by Misia-Paris. Here the fine coloured stripe has satin finish adding a sophisticated touch to your space.

‘Sallecia’ delivers excellent results In & Outdoor testing. Created in two colors, Arabesque and Grege, each of the planes of color has its own texture adding complexity and detail to the weave. ⁠

Textured fabric favours the out of doors, adding depth and drama. Beautiful French furniture helps too.

For an impressive texture that is soft to sit upon but robust with a high rub count use ‘Selanque’. The heavy twisted yarns are made from polypropylene which is sun, sea and chlorine resistant. this fabric is super indoors too.

The Liberty Garden is a wondrous collection of outdoor textiles, there are three colour palettes: pewter, jade and lapis. Designs are available in prints and weaves including some intricate jacquards that are rarely seen today. You can see all designs on the Liberty fabric site here

Tropical weather is particularly taxing upon fabric. Sun and humidity
do their best to fade and rot fibres, thus, quality outdoor fabrics are vital. We are pleased that there are new sustainable & attractive options available.

On a practical note, outdoor fabric needs to be UV, mould & chlorine resistant, easily cleaned and not too scratchy. New polypropylene fabrics are soft enough to be used indoors too and have a much higher abrasion resistance than acrylics. They are also more environmentally friendly.

Designs of the Time's outdoor collections have the most sublime textures to mix and match.

Curtains

pixadmin — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 07:34:25 +0000

Beautiful curtains finish a room, framing the windows and adding warmth and character. This is especially true in many modern spaces. Curtains can be ethereal, luxurious, rustic, dramatic or discreet, however, whether toning in or standing out, they pull a room together.

Wai means water in Maori, and ‘Wailaki’ has a subtle fluidity, wavy lines in two-tones make a ripple effect. This creates a discreetly luxurious and elegantly organic look. By Designs of the Time and 100% linen choose from one of the eight colour variations of Wailaki: white, ochre, brown, dark blue or coastal grey.

Indulge in a poetic garden, Misia-Paris translates the beauty of Asian illustration onto a luxurious fabric. Little Wenzhou features river plant motifs in gold while discrete tigers play with layers of light and shade in the background. This gives the fabric a lovely depth, you can almost step into the garden. Wonderful as curtains as well as other decorative pieces, such as cushions. Available in six soft shades, including blues, ivory, and powder pink, “Little Wenzhou” is sure to add a touch of elegance to any space.

Bold design

Stretching from ceiling to floor the curtain in this room is sophisticated, exciting and confident. The beauty of the curtain will endure over time as the design is strong and we find reminiscent of the Art Deco movement combined with creole art. Talisman Sacré comes in two colour-ways.

At BODE we have a lot of experience designing curtains, and if we do not know we ask our curtain-makers, the true experts. We help guide through the design decisions that are required for new window treatments.

'Ombre Furtive', by Misia-Paris, is sublime.

Luxury curtains

Linens, velvets, patterns, silks, plus many other options, combined with pleat styles will change the sensibility of your space. Window treatments can be functional, purely decorative, or strike a balance between the two, dependent upon your space and the amount of light you prefer.

Should your beautiful curtain puddle a little on the floor, or sit a bit above? There are pros and cons, it does look tidy sitting half a centimetre above but most curtain fabrics can stretch… and shrink too. So we recommend touching the floor as this takes the weight of the drape and gives one some room if the fabric shrinks upon cleaning.

Outdoor curtains

Let your curtains billow in the wind and rain, sun resistant Andia is the perfect marriage of contemporary design with technical performance. The modern and breathable mesh of Andia is particularly striking in sable, and has a four-ply twisted yarn that resembles classic crochet. Made from UV polyester, it is an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor use, catering to the needs of individual and professional clients. (A close-up can be seen above right).

In every house, when the curtains are drawn, there’s a story going on, and you never get to hear… You get the public side of things, the happy, smiling, social activities.

Day curtains

There has been a revolution in day curtain design, weaves are more complex letting in the light exquisitely. Do consider the amount of sunlight you want let in, different opacities can be selected.

'Helki' is a stunning pocket weave sheer in linen with a delightful colour palette.

Let the light shine through in a more beguiling way with textured sheers for day curtains.

Because forgiveness is like this: a room can be dank because you have closed the windows, you’ve closed the curtains. But the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh outside. In order to get that fresh air, you have to get up and open the window and draw the curtains apart.
