About...
Porter House Studio is an interiors soft furnishings and upholstery studio founded by Beth Porter.
​
In the studio she works on upholstery projects to pieces such as bench seating, bay window cushions, dining chairs, armchairs, sofas and ottomans. In addition she has a collection of soft furnishings and home textiles that are sold on her online store.
​
Beth’s home textile collections are influenced by modern interpretations of age-old craftsmanship traditions inspired by nostalgic English country home textiles and prints.
​
Each piece is designed, hand-cut and carefully handcrafted by Beth in her studio, with an emphasis on texture, longevity, timelessness and quality.
​
Beth carefully crafts every piece with the hope that one day they will be passed on and enjoyed for future generations to come.

Foam
The foam used in the studio ranges rom low, medium and high-density in standard or luxury loft to reticulated foam for outdoor use. Foam cushions are wrapped in dacron and stockinette. Dacron helps to add extra loft, helps to provide you with a fuller and firmer feeling cushion, and stockinette makes it easier to insert and remove your cushions from its covers. Every piece of foam is cut to your custom requirements and professionally wrapped to ensure longevity.
Fabrics
When sourcing fabrics for upcoming projects suitability and pattern repeats are thoughtfully considered. The most frequently sourced fabrics are variations of cottons and linens. Including water resistant materials in styles such as plain, printed, floral, striped and checked.
​
If you would like to source your own fabric, help and guidance can be advised on details such as meterage and suitability.
How to Measure
Guidance on how best to measure the space will be consulted by Beth .
Preferably a photo of the area will be exchanged to gain a clear visual insight. Alternatively we offer a measuring service.
Measurements of the area or piece is requested such as the length, width, depth alongside any other details.
You will need a tape measure and a means to write or note your measurements down.
For cushion reupholstery, we need to get the most accurate representation possible so we would ideally ask for you to send us the original cushion covers in the post for us to use as a guided template alongside measurements from the original foam.
