STYLE YOUR HOME

this summer
There are great things to be enjoyed about restyling your home, whether in part or in total. One is the beauty that comes from complete rooms being totally co-ordinated in style and colour. Another is in making the most of the available space so everything can be neat, organised and easily accessed.
A fully fitted kitchen designed bespoke for your particular space can be a masterpiece of practicality. With an immense choice of worktops and finishes to complement smart new appliances, it can offer an abundance of cupboard and drawer storage to hide all those pots, pans and awkwardly shaped gadgets such as air fryers and food processors. It can also bring social space spend quality time with family or friends. A new bathroom can be utterly transforming, especially with modern wetrooms and power showers, while fitted bedrooms can bring luxury to where you need it most. Sometimes a modest space can be transformed to a highly useful home office or a playroom.
The trick to these lifechanging improvements is to find a reliable specialist, first to draw up designs in line with your personal preferences and budget, then to carry out the fitting. Most sole traders carry out the main carpentry and joinery work themselves, bringing wide experience to the role. Many have trusted trade friends to complete the electrics, plumbing, plastering, tiling or decorating, so they take care of everything and the customer doesn’t have to worry about a thing.

Bespoke Secondary Glazing
Editor’s Choice Kookachoo Interiors
Bespoke Furniture, moderately priced
Kookachoo Interiors is helping customers stamp personality on their home with unique and bespoke handmade furniture for around the same price as mass manufactured pieces from the high street stores.
Carpenter Tim Allard and his wife, Koo, produce their own range of stylish designs for chairs, tables, dressers, bookcases, benches, garden furniture, accessories and other free-standing items.
Working independently from premises in Cradley, Malvern, they also customise existing pieces to make them their very own, upcycling them into one-offs of real character and quality.
For customers who literally have their own ideas, Kookachoo takes commissions to bring their visions into the real world of wood and metal, whether for a dining set of unusual dimensions, the perfect cupboard for an alcove or even a deluxe kennel for a pampered pooch. Whatever the idea, Kookachoo can translate it into a faithful finished product in the customer’s preferred materials and to the required dimensions. These items are then treated with a natural wood finish for visual impact and great protection.
Kookachoo works with beautiful hardwoods such as elm, French oak and American black walnut and works collaboratively with local metalworkers to provide steel or cast iron frames and fittings as appropriate. All items are craftsman-made and even bespoke items are modestly priced compared to many artisan products.
Koo says: “We want our furniture to give joy to our customers for many years to come.”

Editor’s Choice for styling your home Jordan Williams Upholstery,
better than new
Are you sitting comfortably? If not, Jordan Williams Upholstery can help! This Bromsgrove based family business provides first class reupholstery of furniture from antique to modern, using both traditional and up-to-theminute techniques to put the bounce back into saggy seating.
Bespoke services range from restoring treasured older items to their original condition through to revitalising a shabby three piece suite with a smart new covering in the customer’s choice of fabric, or perhaps just handling a small repair.
The company works on armchairs, settees, ottomans, headboards, dining chairs, chaise longues, even footstools and piano stools. It can also provide complementary soft furnishings made to measure, such as cushions, curtains and seat covers to match the finished items.
Owner Jordan Cooper is the third generation of his family to be involved in reupholstery and he has been careful to maintain all the old skills of the trade as well as to learn the newer ones. That means he can be entrusted with the most valuable of antique furnishings as well as luxury quality modern ones.
“We don’t do woodwork but we do anything to do with comfort,” he says, “Including the springs, scrim, coir fibre and webbing. With antiques, we use authentic materials such as horse hair or hog’s hair.”
