My Story

My name is Jane Skinner. I founded Janesville with a simple mission: to create beautiful, high-quality furniture that reflects the personal style and values of each client. Based in Hampton, in the beautiful borough of Richmond-Upon-Thames, my journey in upholstery began with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a passion for design. Before launching Janesville Upholstery, I worked in the advertising and music industries, where I honed my eye for detail, creativity and professionalism. These industries taught me the importance of vision, execution and project management, which I now bring into every upholstery project. Whether working with high-profile clients or musical artists or managing the production of creative ideas, I learned how to take an idea and transform it into something tangible, whilst also keeping oversight of deadlines and budgets – skills that now drive my work in upholstery.

What sets Janesville apart is the personal touch that goes into every project. I work closely with my clients to understand their vision, lifestyle and needs. Whether you’re looking for a bold, contemporary statement or a classic, timeless look, I bring your ideas to life with a commitment to quality that ensures your furniture will stand the test of time.

In a world where mass-produced furniture often dominates, I value sustainability and the art of restoration. By refurbishing your existing pieces, we’re not only preserving their sentimental value but also making an environmentally conscious choice. I source high-quality, durable fabrics and materials that blend style with sustainability, ensuring your investment is as eco-friendly as it is elegant.
