Pride in Sustainability
Berkshire Furniture Services is a sustainable and environmentally friendly furniture solutions provider. Sustainability is something the whole team takes a lot of pride in.
By re-upholstering and wood re-polishing we can add years to the natural lifespan of furniture and reduce the amount of plastics going to landfill.
We strive to use sustainable fabrics, materials and methods wherever possible.
Beyond "Recycle"
While many focus on recycling at the end of a product's life, we focus on extension. True sustainability starts by keeping high-quality furniture in use for as long as possible.
A significant portion of a piece of furniture’s carbon footprint is "embodied" during its initial manufacture. By choosing to restore rather than replace, you effectively lock that carbon in place and prevent the emissions associated with manufacturing new frames, harvesting timber, and global shipping.
