Supplies & care in Kimberley: local notes
Kimberley has a limited range of foam and fabric locally, so many people order upholstery fabric, leather and specialist supplies like horsehair or coir from Bloemfontein or Johannesburg. Foam can usually be cut to size in town. Dust makes upholstery cleaning a regular job, and extraction machines can be hired for a weekend, though they are not suitable for antique pieces with traditional stuffing.
Kimberley: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Kimberley's diamond rush left behind a town of old houses, and their furniture is the most interesting upholstery work for many kilometres. Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia and Beaconsfield, with corrugated iron roofs and wide stoeps, still hold horsehair-stuffed armchairs, button-back chaises and dining sets on ball and claw feet that need careful restoration rather than a quick recover. Hadison Park and the newer suburbs bring lounge suites and headboards, Galeshewe and Roodepan have home upholsterers recovering couches, and farms out towards Ritchie and Barkly West send bakkie seats and stoep benches. Workshops are few, so fabric and foam often come from Bloemfontein or Johannesburg. The dry heat and dust are hard on leather and fabric.
Typical cushion covers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: new scatter cushion covers and couch seat covers to refresh a lounge without recovering
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: matching cushion covers in bulk for guesthouse rooms, lodge lounges and restaurant banquettes
- Offices and businesses: durable covers for reception couch cushions and breakaway room seating
Local tips for Kimberley
Asked for most in Kimberley: antique armchairs and chaises, lounge suites, bakkie seats and stoep benches. Where the workshops are: workshops in the town centre and industrial area, home upholsterers in Galeshewe. A useful tip: for antiques, ask whether the upholsterer keeps the original stuffing where possible.
Jobs range widely: two scatters to a full lounge suite. Here, homeowners and tenants lead the requests, typically for new scatter cushion covers and couch seat covers to refresh a lounge without recovering. One local point to raise: fabric and foam often come from Bloemfontein or Johannesburg; local collection.
