Our handmade British furniture can be upholstered in any sofa fabric in the world. From our concise collection of 'house' fabrics to best-known designer sofa fabric brands, or even a fabric you've found elsewhere. We are very pleased with the stools that Stuart helped us with recently. We both really appreciate that he managed to do this.
Why not take a video tour around our 12,000 sq/ft Farlington showroom, where you will be able to check out the vast selection of brands and products we have available. We've spent many years working closely with the top brands in the industry such as Parker Knoll, Stressless, Himolla and Luxaflex - not to mention our own bespoke, handmade furniture.
Can I have any fabric? No problem! Everything we make is handmade to order and fully bespoke. Unlike some furniture retailers, we won't limit your choices to a few fabric books. All our sofas and chairs are available in thousands of different fabrics: from patterns and plains to checks and prints, we've got every variety of fabric you could imagine.
Here at Material Things we are committed to providing our customers with an efficient and stress-free delivery service, which is why we offer delivery within the local area on all our products. For that little extra peace of mind, our team can undertake access checks at your property to ensure your new furniture will fit, so there's no difficulties on delivery day.
We place your comfort at the heart of every product we design. Our bespoke furniture brand Bowes & Hill embodies our ethos of outstanding service, and because no two customers are alike, every sofa and chair is unique. Step into our Hampshire showroom and you will find something you love. Designed for every personality, our diverse pieces are distinguished in their comfort, beauty and singularity.

Fabulous. My 25 year old beloved Multiyork sofas were too good to dispose of so I decided to have them reupholstered. Material Things were brilliant. They offer good value for money and an exceptional customer service. My sofas look like new. I ordered some arm covers for added protection but they weren't included in the delivery. This was not a problem for the crew, within an hour I received a phone call and somebody took the effort of delivering them to me personally. Thank you.

Had my sofa seat restuffed (not sure if that is the right term) by Material Things. Beforehand my other half and I sank into it, but now it is absolutely wonderful! Lovely staff, very welcoming and professional. The sofa seat was ready in the time-frame estimated and customer service was top notch.
I think I may convince the significant other to let me get the other seats done in due course... Also the shop looks like it has some lovely furniture items so well worth a browse!
