Tailored Living
Tailored Living helps you adapt an existing furniture design from the Sheen houses or Prime Interiors to your space and preferences. Discuss changes to dimensions, materials, finishes or upholstery; the possible adaptations depend on the design and its construction.
Tailored Living describes this way of adapting furniture. Sheen Living is the specialist house for upholstery-led furniture and soft furnishings.
Ways to adapt your furniture
Start with the feature you want to change and what it needs to do for your space. The options below give the enquiry a useful direction.
Size and proportion
Length, width or height may need to suit nearby seating, a dining layout or an entrance. The top, base and clearances need to work together.
Material selection
Discuss a different stone, wood or other suitable material for the piece. The choice affects appearance, weight, support and care.
Colour and finish
A finish changes reflection, texture and how a piece sits beside other surfaces. Suitable options depend on the selected material and design.
Fabric and upholstery
For an upholstered piece, share your preferred colour, texture and intended use. Available fabric choices and any change to the upholstered form are reviewed for the selected product.
The design still has to work
A change to one part of a design can affect another. A larger stone tabletop may need a different support arrangement; changing a chair or sofa dimension can alter its proportions and fit within the room.
Share known access restrictions, such as narrow doorways or stairs. The adapted piece needs to reach its intended position as well as fit it.
Natural stone and wood vary in pattern and tone. Discuss the appearance that matters to you and agree any required material or finish selection as part of the custom offer. Photographs illustrate the material rather than guarantee identical markings.

- Explain the setting. Include relevant measurements, photographs and nearby furniture or finishes, together with any known access restrictions.
- Review the proposed change. The design, material and construction determine the feasible options.
- Agree the offer. The separate offer sets out the customized specification, price and relevant ordering arrangements. Refer to the accepted offer for the agreed timescale.

Starting from a different brief?
If you have an original furniture idea, drawing or display requirement rather than an existing design to adapt, explore Custom Fabrication.
