When it comes to furniture, there’s something truly special about bespoke pieces — custom-built, thoughtfully designed, and made to stand the test of time. At Maker Upholstery in Melbourne, we craft bespoke furniture tailored to your space, style, and comfort, offering everything from booth seating and banquettes to custom headboards, dining chairs, and ottomans.

But what makes our custom furniture different from off-the-shelf options? Let’s dive into the craftsmanship and quality behind each piece.

Built on a Strong Foundation: Hardwood Engineered Frames

Every piece of bespoke furniture starts with a solid frame — quite literally the backbone of quality design. At Maker Upholstery, we use hardwood frames for precision and durability.

This results in frames that are not only sturdy but designed to withstand years of daily use — perfect for both residential and commercial spaces.


Designed for Multiple Lifecycles, Not Just One

Unlike mass-produced furniture that’s often built for a single lifecycle before being tossed away, our bespoke pieces are designed to endure. With strong, expertly crafted frames, they can be reupholstered and refreshed over the years — giving them multiple lifecycles instead of ending up in landfill.

Investing in custom furniture means you’re choosing sustainability and longevity, with the added benefit of having a piece that grows with you.


Stitching and Tufting: The Art of the Detail

What sets bespoke furniture apart is the attention to detail. At Maker Upholstery, we offer a wide range of stitching and tufting options — from classic deep button tufting to sleek, modern channel stitching. Each technique is a time-honoured craft, executed by skilled artisans to add texture, depth, and personality to your furniture.

These details aren’t just decorative — they also reinforce the structure of the upholstery, ensuring both beauty and durability.


Custom Comfort: Tailored Foam and Padding Options

Comfort is key, and we believe that no two people — or spaces — are the same. That’s why we customise the feel of your furniture, offering carefully selected padding options tailored to your needs. Whether you want firm support for a formal dining banquette, soft cushioning for a luxurious headboard, or a balanced feel for an everyday ottoman, we craft each piece with precision.

By balancing structure and softness, we ensure your furniture feels as good as it looks.

A Range of Bespoke Furniture Options

At Maker Upholstery, we design and create a wide variety of custom furniture, including:

  • Booth and Banquette Seating: Ideal for restaurants, cafés, and residential dining areas, our seating solutions are both stylish and practical.

  • Headboards: Add a touch of luxury to your bedroom with custom-designed headboards, available in a range of shapes, fabrics, and finishes.

  • Dining Chairs: Whether you want sleek, modern chairs or classic, upholstered seating, we design dining chairs that complement your table and space.

  • Ottomans and Footstools: Functional and beautiful, ottomans can be customised in size, fabric, and style — perfect as statement pieces or subtle accents.

  • Sofas and Armchairs: Tailored to your exact preferences, we create bespoke sofas and armchairs that fit seamlessly into your home.

With custom dimensions, fabrics, and finishes, each piece is designed to suit your space perfectly.
