When it comes to making a house feel like home, comfort and character matter. One of the most overlooked opportunities to elevate both is through custom upholstery-especially in bay windows, window seats, and built-in seating areas.
At Drummers Home Store, we see more homeowners looking for tailored solutions that combine style, practicality, and craftsmanship. That’s where Creative Upholstery comes in- offering beautifully made custom cushions and upholstered seating designed to fit your space perfectly.

Why Custom Upholstery Makes All the Difference
Off-the-shelf cushions rarely fit quite right. Gaps, awkward sizing, and limited fabric options can make even the nicest space feel unfinished.
Custom upholstery solves this by:
- Providing a perfect fit for bay windows and built-in seating
- Allowing you to choose fabrics that match your interior style
- Delivering higher comfort and durability
- Creating a premium, tailored look
Whether you’re upgrading a reading nook or designing a full window seat, custom cushions instantly elevate the space.
Transforming Bay Windows into Functional Seating
Bay windows are one of the best features in a home-but many go unused.
With the addition of custom-made seat cushions, you can turn a bay window into:
- A cosy reading corner
- A stylish entertaining space
- Extra seating without bulky furniture
- A light-filled relaxation zone
The key is getting cushions that are made to measure, ensuring clean lines and a seamless finish.
Window Seats: Comfort Meets Design
Window seating is becoming increasingly popular in modern homes across New Zealand-and for good reason.
A well-designed window seat offers:
- Smart use of space
- Built-in storage opportunities
- A focal point for the room
- Everyday comfort
By working with specialists like Creative Upholstery, you can customise:
- Cushion thickness and firmness
- Fabric colour and texture
- Edge finishes and piping
- Outdoor or indoor durability
Choosing the Right Fabric for Custom Cushions
Fabric choice is just as important as fit. The right material ensures your cushions look great and last for years.
Popular options include:
- Durable upholstery fabrics for everyday use
- Outdoor fabrics for sun-exposed window seats
- Soft textured weaves for a cosy feel
- Neutral tones for timeless design
Creative Upholstery offers a wide range of fabric options to suit both modern and classic interiors.
