Located in Malaga, Argyle Furniture Designs is a furniture craft and restoration shop founded by Frank Parker in 1982. With more than 40 years of experience, their primary goal is to restore old furniture as if it were brand new.

Their process involves restrengthening the furniture’s frame, removing old foam and fabric, and reupholstering.

A key difference to their furniture restoration service, though, is their ability to restore soft furniture like curtains, cushions, and bedding. For restoring fabrics, they source their materials from reputable companies like Warwick and Wortley.

If you’re interested in learning more about their services and prices, you can leave a message on their website with a photo of your furniture attached.

Saved us a lot of money compared to buying a new set in the store

“Carl and the team at Argyle Furniture did a great job updating a few +15 yr old chairs we picked up on Gumtree. He saved us a lot of money compared to buying a new set in the store. Will come back to them in the future if need be. Highly recommend their services.”

-James Huff, Google Reviews

Colour and fabric suggestions were perfect and the workmanship faultless!

“Carl did a brilliant job reupholstering our furniture. His colour and fabric suggestions were perfect and the workmanship faultless! It was also really fantastic to have Carl come out and quote, and not a salesperson who would have limited involvement in the job other than providing a quote. Michelle was wonderful at keeping us informed of the progress and dealt with all of our communications promptly and professionally. It was a big and complicated job and the results exceeded our expectations. We are very happy with the finished products and will be recommending Argyle Furniture Designs to anyone looking to reupholster. It is no surprise that we came to Carl via word of mouth ourselves.”
