Large long thin fabric footstool

Get Inspired!

We are well versed in making beautiful footstools and ottomans in Customer’s Own Material.

The lovely fabrics by Warwick make for a very stylish stool so we thought we’d show you our previous customers orders to give you a flavour of the shape and trim combinations others have chosen for their new footstool ottoman or coffee table footstool.

We are able to supply you with any of Warwick’s range for your footstool ottoman, or you can send your own fabric to us for upholstery as Customer’s Own Material.

Send us any Fabric for your new ottoman footstool.

We have to say that anytime we are sent a Warwick fabric for making into an ottoman or a footstool, we are thrilled.

Their fresh and tailored patterns are ideally suited to upholstery.

Read on to learn how you can ask us to provide any Warwick fabric for your new footstool, how to order your material from the supplier directly, how much you will need to send and where to send it.

Ordering your perfect footstool or ottoman in your own material is simple.

Use our website to choose your desired options for your new footstool and select ‘Customer’s Own Material’ from the list of fabrics available.

Checkout and pay for your footstool/ottoman and note down your unique four digit order number. You will need to include this number on your parcel when you send in your material to us.

ALWAYS ensure your order is placed with The Footstool Workshop before you send us your material.

Use the next tab to understand how to calculate how much fabric you will need to supply. Give us a call on 01291 629746 if you get stuck.

How much material should I send for my new footstool?

Every size and style of footstool requires a different quantity of material.

We include a model specific fabric requirement on each and every footstool and ottoman on our website for easy reference.

To find the amount you’ll need, first navigate to the size and style of footstool you’d like to purchase.

You’ll find on that page a banner that looks like this near to the images of the product:

If you click on the + sign of the blue bar entitled Using your own fabric, it will open out to give the information for that model.

The text that is visible when you do this will also ask for extra material if:

You have a directional fabric (patterned) – we will need one or more extra ‘pattern repeats’ depending on the model.
You wish to supply a different colour material for contrast piping (on piped models only)

So, what do all these things mean?

What is a pattern repeat?

When material is printed, it is printed with a pattern repeat along the length of the roll. The vertical pattern repeat relates to the distance between where the pattern starts, ends and appears again.

If your chosen material has a pattern repeat of 4 cm, for example, and we ask for 1 extra pattern repeat, we would need an extra 4 cm to be able to join the patterns correctly.

Similarly, if your pattern repeat is 68 cm and 1 extra pattern repeat is needed, we would need an extra 68 cm.

A fabric with a large pattern repeat can work out to be an expensive and wasteful choice.

What is a ‘directional pattern’?

A directional pattern has a clear top and a bottom to it. A good example of this is a tree pattern – you would normally always want for the tree to be upright on your headboard. If we were to use the fabric on its side to avoid joins/seams then your trees would be sideways – hardly ideal!

We will contact you when we receive your material at our workshop to confirm your pattern direction for fabrics which could be run both ways to ask your preference.

My footstool will be wider than my material – how will that work?

We will carefully pattern match the fabric to make it wide enough, using a full width in the centre of the footstool. We may advise additional top edge piping in some cases, or a change of lid/top style.

Can I have a patterned fabric but run it on it’s side?

You can decide which way you want your pattern to run.

Some patterns do not have a definitive top or bottom to them, so, the choice is yours alone.

We do not recommend using a pattern that has a very definite top and bottom in the wrong orientation.

Where/how should I send my material to you?

Before you send us your material, please help us by putting your order on. This is important because it generates a unique 4 digit code for your order which we use as an identifier. We ask that this number accompanies your material to our workshop either on the material itself (post it note or sticky label) or on the outside of your package.

It helps us enormously if you can also:

Attach your name.
Attach your order reference number, which you will receive via email after placing your order.
Indicate the correct side of the fabric.

And finally, the address you need to send your fabric to is;

The Footstool Workshop Ltd,

Units 10-11 St David’s Industrial Estate,

Pengam,

Blackwood,

NP12 3SW.

Will you confirm you have received my fabric?

Yes, we will. We will also return any usable left over material to you with your delivery if there is any.

Can I ask the supplier to send my material to you directly on my behalf?

Yes. This is fine and happens all the time. Please ask them to label the material package with your surname and order number as above.

What do I need to tell you about my material?

If you wish to chat with us about the suitability of your material or have any queries about the quantity needed, we may ask you the following in order to help you:

The size and model of footsool/ottoman that you are considering
The pattern name and colourway of the material
The material composition (for fire retardancy purposes)
The material width
The vertical pattern repeat (of patterned)

Better still, if you can provide us with a website link to your chosen fabric, we are very happy to have a look. We can then tell you exactly how much you will need to send us.

In order to make your fabric comply with fire regulations, all fabrics will need to be certified to cigarette AND match.

Some fabrics may require FR treatment and some can be used with a fire retardant interliner.

Interliners are charged at the following prices, depending on size.
