Thumbs Up Bowerbirds
I would highly recommend Bowerbirds and Ali for her interior design services. Her assistance in developing my ideas and my imaginings into exactly what I wanted as the reality, was first class. My constant requests for samples were never an issue. The curtains (Sanderson Thistle Garden) are really lovely, stylish and absolutely amazing! So well made and exactly as I imagined them to be. Needless to say these curtains have received so much praise and admiration. And, of course, so has my leather Tetrad Beaton buttoned chair and matching Ickworth footstool. Very pleased with the process and everything. Thank you.
Excellent service, quality products
We have recently purchased two bespoke sofas from Bowerbirds which are of great quality and perfectly compliment our newly refurbished lounge. Ali has been extremely helpful providing different choices for style of sofa, customisable options, different types and colours of fabric. This has enabled us to really fine tune the design to ensure that it meets our needs.
We would absolutely recommend Bowerbirds to anybody who is looking for home furnishings from a local business who provide excellent service.
Beautiful, one of a kind
Reupholstered four chairs, which gave us a chance to make each one of them unique! Ali was very patient with us, matching fabrics together, and kept us updated throughout the process. We are very pleased with the quality of the chairs, they are so comfy and everyone compliments them on how beautiful they are :)

The service and quality was exceptional from Alison at Bowerbirds. The curtains look amazing, we’re really happy and would highly recommend.
2 years and 2 house moves on, our 2 beautiful sofas are as comfortable, robust and joyful as ever
Bought two gorgeous sofas from Ali at Bowerbirds two years ago. Just moved house for the second time and these beautiful pieces of furniture are so immaculate and robust. I can tell they will be with us for years to come.
Ali gave us great personalised advice on what we needed - we had quite a few requirements.
Her retail space is a great place to relax and browse her encyclopaedic range of textiles in a non pressured way.
It really gave me the confidence to play with pattern and design. We also received lots of practical advice on what else to consider from an interior design point of view.
I would strongly recommend for advice, quality and style. What a great independent business.
Highly recommended
Ali was so helpful and spent a huge amount of time researching colours and fabrics for me. Showroom had lots to see and communication was excellent. She really put herself out. Sofa was delivered in perfect fabric and looks amazing
A fantastic bespoke service.

Alison was so knowledgeable and patient with us while we made our decisions. It was also really good that we could 'design our on sodas including sizes, fillings, coverings so that we had exactly what we wanted. The finished products are really high quality. We could have asked more and recommend Bowerbirds to everyone.

Thank you Ali for your help support and advice it made the whole thing such a pleasure and hassle free.
Beautiful sofas of high quality
We had been looking for sofas for three years and accidently came by Ali's shop on a visit to Chelmsford. We are super happy with our sofas. Ali advised on what would suit us best with colour scheme and more. She went out of her way to ensure we got what we wanted and had our loveseat was made to size. Everyone who visits tells us how comfy the sofas are and the quality is outstanding. I would highly recommend this store not just for sofas but advice and other items like lighting and rugs which is our next step.

We spent so long looking for sofas and found nothing that gave us the style, comfort and quality we wanted. All solved by one visit to see Ali at Bowerbirds.
Ali, thank you so much for all your help (and patience) in finding out perfect sofas in the right material for our demanding home! We are SO pleased with them.
Can't wait to come back and see you again soon for the next bits!
The showroom is a breath of fresh air…
The showroom is a breath of fresh air and inspiring colour combinations. Alison knows how to put colours together and as an interior designer is well placed to advise and is really helpful. I got a Tetrad snuggler -it’s SO comfortable! I totally love it! The furniture is a bit different from most box store shops and you can get cushions, rugs and lamps etc to match. Alison was incredibly helpful with advice and was flexible on delivery. I would definitely buy from Bowerbirds again
Fantastic - New sofa
Alison was super helpful assisting me and my wife pick a sofa, she had a huge selection of fabrics and options for us and gave us great advice for what we were looking for.
Delivery was super smooth and our sofa looks fantastic, would highly recommend!!!
My Lovely Dog friendly Velvet Sofa
It was lovely to be able to use a local, friendly, helpful very competitive small business. Ali sat and listened to all my needs as to what I wanted and hadn’t been able to find elsewhere or have the confidence in what previous retailers had told me about certain fabrics. I absolutely love my new velvet settee, will certainly recommend her to friends & family
