Independent furniture business Little Furniture Shop has expanded with the opening of a new, larger store.

The Little Furniture Shop, which has been established since 2001 and also has a store in Wyle Cop, Shrewsbury, has launched in Craven Arms, South Shropshire.

The new workshop and showroom will provide more space for projects and takes over the former Robert Machin furniture shop.

Commenting on the new showroom, the company, which manufactures and sells sofas, chairs and footstools as well as restoring furniture, said: “After years and years of working in cold, often dark and gloomy workshops, we have finally moved and opened our new one in Craven Arms.

“It has a large showroom so after much deliberation, we decided to go for it. It has lots of natural light which makes life easier when working on close detail when upholstering. Above all it is warm and a very pleasant place to work, a good environment for both health and mental well being.

“Our new premises are in the old Robert Machin shop on Corvedale Road. This was a furniture shop until the pandemic, so I’d like to think Mr Machin would be happy to see us continuing as a furniture shop, although a different type of furniture to what he sold. He sadly passed away earlier in the year.”
