Patchwork is certainly not up my [straight laced,
matchy matchy, symmetrical] design alley but it does solve the problem of not
being able to decide on what fabric you want to work with, an issue I often
have!
Furniture retailer Jimmy Possum is recognised for their striking
patchwork floorstock pieces, and recognised Australian furniture manufacturers
such as Arthur G are also offering patchwork upholstery on their pieces. Done
correctly, patchwork upholstery can look great, it can showcase stunning
fabrics, appeal to a more bohemian salvaged interior scheme or be tonally
complementing and a focal point of the interior.
It’s either a look you aim to achieve or a case of
not having the budget for that new upholstery job and you’ve sewn together
every piece of fabric you can find. What are your thoughts?

 |
| A very tonal approach to patchwork upholstery,almost palatable? |
 |
| Think this suits the interior to a tee! Don't miss that wire cloud up there either, stunning! |
 |
| There is something about this one that I love, it may be the colour combination, the buttoning and the more applique look than patchwork, very cool! |
 |
| Very pretty, too much for me, but I do love this upholstering of the timberwork, nice detail. |
 |
| Looks like the most uncomfortable sofa in the world but a very classy approach to patchowrk upholstery dont you think? |
