Design for Long Eaton businesses
Long Eaton is best known as a centre for upholstery and furniture making. A cluster of sofa makers, upholsterers, frame makers and cutting rooms grew up in the town, many still working from old lace mills and industrial units, and plenty sell direct to the public as well as to retailers. That makes design and photography central to how they sell.
Furniture photography is harder than it looks. A sofa needs to be shot straight, square and evenly lit so the shape and fabric read correctly, then repeated in the same angles for every model so a range looks consistent on a website or in a catalogue. Fabric colours must stay accurate, because a customer choosing teal from a photo will send it back if it arrives green. Detail shots of stitching, piping, legs and cushion fill help justify the price.
Makers also need printed material: fabric swatch cards, range brochures for retailers, showroom signage, care labels and price tickets. Many products are made to order in multiple sizes and fabrics, so price lists and order forms need careful layout to stay readable.
- Upholstery and furniture makers: product photography, catalogues, swatch cards
- Furniture showrooms: signage, price tickets, social media graphics
- Logistics and transport firms near the M1 and A50: livery and signage
- Engineering and trade firms: CAD drawings and leaflets
- Town centre shops and cafés: branding, menus and flyers
The town sits beside Junction 25 of the M1, close to East Midlands Airport and the A50, so transport and distribution firms are common too. Sawley, Sandiacre and Breaston add their own trades and small businesses. Design is done in Mansfield, and shoots happen in your showroom or factory, with travel added to the quote.
