It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Wow -as 2023 comes to a close -we celebrate our amazing staff and what they have achieved as a team over the past year!

We have been very lucky to work across the country from Cornwall through Devon, up to Bristol and Taunton and then along to the bright lights of gorgeous London!!

The variation in our work is fabulous as we get to work on large commercial contracts where we learn things every day from other trades people and network with some of the finest in the business, but also with the smaller domestic projects, helping to create beautiful homes and office space for some lovely customers!

We start the New Year with a couple of restaurant projects in Exeter and Plymouth and lots and lots and lots of domestic sofas!!

To all our customers and suppliers, the team at Terry Manning upholstery would like to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! x

See you in 2024!!

Projects, Projects, Projects!

Projects, Projects, Projects!

Love the excitement leading up to Christmas and we are SUPER busy with some lovely domestic and commercial customers involving some beautiful projects!

We have spent the last few weeks refurbishing a gorgeous pub in Paignton, making bespoke headboards and beds for 1 of our lovely Interior Designers and upholstering a huge amount of sofas and dining chairs ready for families visiting at Christmas!

I find customers are getting braver choosing fabrics and are going for bolder patterns and colours rather than the neutrals and greys which are often a safe bet! - this makes the transformations even more exciting to watch!

We have also been lucky enough to travel to exhilarating London to quote for 2 pub contracts which will involve both upholstery of banquette seating and new furniture which will completely transform and bring up to date the 2 establishments!

Our lovely clients in Exeter have been super pleased with their house full of curtains, blinds and upholstery that we have been working on over the last few months and the soft furnishings have added that cozy luxurious feel throughout all the bedrooms, lounges and dining room for the family to enjoy!

With some great projects coming up in Plymouth in the New Year we are certainly travelling some miles but love the diversity of our enquiries and getting to travel around to visit different places!

Cornwall Hotel Project

Cornwall Hotel Project

Lots of traveling over the past couple of weeks has meat that the team have been lucky enough to see some stunning places. Working on a stunning hotel right on Perranporth beach in Cornwall - The Seiners Arms has been an absolute joy with staff fighting over who is doing the collections/deliveries there!! We have been delighted to have been asked to upholster their traditional pub chairs. Using a beautiful blue fabric both updated the furniture and brought the beautiful Perrnaporth beach into the restaurant with the blue lifting the dark wood perfectly! It certainly is a gem right on the Cornish coastline and is a stunning venue to get married or hold an event! We are half way through and cant wait to see the finish result!

Commercial Project

Commercial Project

Returning to Bournemouth this week our team were excited to complete a commercial project along the beautiful seafront location, comprising of upholstery of existing banquette bench seating and restaurant chairs in a stunning combination of contract faux leathers and patterned fabrics! These complimented some luxurious pinch pleat curtains and blinds that we had installed earlier this year. This phase of the project is finished and we couldn’t be happier to sign off but we will be back in early 2023 to start on the bedroom packages including beds, headboards, soft furnishings and some beautiful new bedroom furniture. It’s all about the finishing touches -so there will also be some gorgeous lighting thrown in!

Student Accomodation

Student Accommodation

With Bristol being an amazing university city we get asked by many lovely landlords who want to make their accomodation look and feel homely and comfortable for their hard working students!

Combining upholstery of existing furniture and refreshing blinds and curtains , spaces can feel cosy but functional, facilitating relaxed study!

It's very important now more than ever to keep within budgets, however the quality of our upholstery and soft furnishings are never compromised and we only supply highly durable fabrics to both our domestic and commercial customers. Our Bristol clients return to us because they know we provide good quality services within deadline

.Can't wait to return to Bristol and finalise the project.

Team Work!

Team work!

Our teams often tell us they love their job because of the variety of projects we are lucky enough to be part of but I remind them that it's because of their hard work and amazing customer service that our customers stay loyal to us and we have the highest recommendations!!

November will see the start of us working a little further afield in London as we join a client who is moving both their home and business there. We have been asked to supply banquette seating and new contract furniture for their new restaurant venture and curtains, blinds and upholstery works for their new build home. Their brief is to bring the glamour to London across both projects so our mood boards are certainly looking glitzy and exciting the staff who love a bit of sparkle!

!Travelling through London on our recent trips for surveying these projects has definitely refreshed and inspired our creativity for all upcoming projects and we cant wait to return there for install days!

Ready for Christmas and New Year celebrations

Ready for Christmas and New Year celebrations

This week we've had lots of private customers wanting to get their homes ready for Christmas and New Year celebrations! It certainly comes round quickly after the Summer comes to an end and everybody will be spending more time at home in the warm!
Upholstery slots for a Christmas delivery are certainly filling up quickly already and we have visited some lovely villages in our beautiful county of Devon over the past week to look at and quote for some lovely customers! Salcombe is an area we worked in a lot over the Summer period and we were more than happy to return there this week to view some Duresta and Parker Knoll suites that need a little tlc to bring them back to their former glory. Our customers were thrilled that we can visit them in their own homes with a selection of beautiful fabric choices and offer them advice regarding textures and colours!
Blackawton is another gem of location and our new customers here were looking for full refurbishment of both furniture, curtains and blinds. I was very jealous of their stunning huge open fire which was a real feature in this beautiful old house!
Next week its back out on site to finish a new restaurant before its opening at the end of the month!
Have a great weekend everybody!

Below were my concerns regarding the google adword. I'll forward you David's reply also.

Thanks so much again and have a great weekend !

Moving into the Autumn

Moving into Autumn

Moving into the Autumn we were asked to refurbish a local fish and chip shop and build some beautiful cosy bench seating where customers could snuggle up and enjoy yummy Fish and Chips at one of our fabulous local chip shops - The London Fryer, now the weather was about to get cooler!! Sumptuous brown leather effect vinyls were chosen with a deep button detail in the backs and comfy bases with lots of padding along with the upholstery of existing chairs, finished with antique studding to match! The adding of matching upholstered panels around the restaurant and take away tied the new scheme in nicely and we would highly recommend popping in for a delicious meal!

We have been inundated since the end of the summer holidays last week with boat and caravan renovation projects from customers preparing for next season already - very organised!! For customers who don't live locally, but have their boats/caravans in the area, can take advantage of the remote service we offer including free fabric samples sent to their home, non accompanied visits to marina/holiday parks to quote and collect seating or quotes via photos. Work can be organised and completed without clients having to visit, meaning their holiday time isn't interrupted with refurb projects!

Have a great week!

Commercial Projects

Commercial Projects

The Terry Manning Upholstery teams love getting stuck into commercial projects - especially ones that involve whole interiors being ripped out and starting from scratch! And we especially love working alongside the super talented Demi Keenan Interiors who has the most incredible visions and creates the best mood boards that make you want to jump straight in!! The latest adventure with Demi in Kingswear, on the edge of the stunning River Dart and just a ferry ride away from Dartmouth, is at the Steam Packet where the inside is being completely transformed with Demi's fresh vibrant colour palettes and dressing. We are very lucky to have been asked to upholster benches, supply roman blinds and some cosy scatter cushions to tie the project together! Cant wait to get started and to see Demi's mood boards come to life!!

We have also been creating some fabulous large bespoke headboards for a stunning seaside apartment and co-ordinating blinds which we cant wait to see in situ! The lucky clients will be cosying up with the headboards whilst having the most panoramic views over the bay! Although not required in this brief, we can provide whole bedroom packages for the commercial and domestic client including matching beds, bespoke headboards, bed runners, curtains, blinds and lampshades and have the most beautiful range of fabrics available to view in our showroom!

Enjoy your week!

Gin Bar

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 14:15:09 GMT

New Start Up Business

We love a new start up business to get involved with here at Terry Manning Upholstery & Interiors- especially a Gin Bar!! The Still House on Paignton Harbour in Devon is in the perfect spot to enjoy a Gin(or whatever is your tipple!) and watch the boats come in and out of this beautiful part of the coast. We were very pleased to be asked to supply all new commercial furniture, upholstery of banquette seating and outdoor seating with sign written parasols and wish them all the luck for their future!

Salcombe is another stunning part of our coastline and we have been working on a beautiful new build supplying all curtains, blinds, kitchen benches and upholstery of some very old very beautiful pieces of furniture to match with the new soft furnishings as well as some outdoor furniture for their huge rolling garden !

Thank you again to all our lovely customers both commercial and domestic wishing you all a relaxing hot weekend!

Our April Exeter Projects

Our April Exeter Projects

This month has seen us especially busy in Exeter with both commercial and domestic clients requiring a mix of bespoke curtains and blinds for 2 new hotel projects- pictures to follow -and some traditional Parker Knoll and Ercol suites upholstered for 2 lovely families.

Our teams love the mix and variety of projects we get involved in as no 2 jobs are the same. It gives them a chance to exercise their creativity and love of all things fabric and gorgeous!!

Projects with a blank canvas can be both a joy and a curse as there is just so much variety in textures, patterns and colours that pinning down that starting point can be tricky, but well worth it in the end when the we see the end results!!

Our lovely Exeter clients have definitely been a joy to work with and we look forward to progressing through the hotels to complete upholstery work and supply of bespoke headboards, beds and soft furnishings to complete their refurbishments!

Have a great May!

What a busy month August has been

What a busy month August has been

What a busy month August has been!

We have been involved in a

perfect mix of commercial and domestic contracts taking us from Cornwall to

Bristol.

With fewer people spending

money travelling abroad it seems that customers are investing in their homes

and businesses even more and that’s great news for our industry!

Its lovely to have old

customers returning for more work to make their homes and businesses look even

more fabulous!

It makes you realise that all

your hard work is well noted and they are happy to trust their project in your

hands once again.

We have some hotel and pubs who

are keen to get refurbishments under way before the festive season begins and

we can’t wait to start the planning and design process with them!

Here’s to a busy Autumn and

lead up to Christmas!

Congratulations Newton Abbot Branch!
