We know you all love a ‘Before and After’!

And here is one of our absolute favourites…a pair of French / Louis-style occasional chairs fully restored with black timber frames and upholstered in a fresh maximalist floral print.

And best of all…despite how much we love them…they are up for sale.

R9000 for the pair! A steal. DM us for details.

There’s just something about a beautifully crafted ottoman.

An effortless way to bring a little glamour into a room, plus extra seating or even a coffee table with the simple addition of a tray, a striking orchid, and a few carefully chosen decor pieces like books, candles or a favourite tchotchke.

Big or small, bold patterns or classic plains, soft bouclé or rich velvet, we love them all.

Why not have one made just for you, your style, your size, your space.

This classic solid wood round pedestal dining table was once tucked away in a second hand shop. Beautiful bones, timeless shape, but ready for a new chapter.

Our client rescued it and we have given it a second life in a bold, rich deep blue that brings a whole new energy to the piece.

At Up-cycled we love transforming well made furniture into something fresh, fun and full of character. A little vision can turn something forgotten into a statement.

Have anything lying around at home or found something special in a charity shop? Why not give it a new life. DM us or email [email protected] and let’s create something beautiful together.

A vintage hallstand, reimagined.

This piece arrived with beautiful bones, bobbin turned legs, a mirror and classic hooks, and a client with vision. Together we transformed it in a deep sage olive green, adding delicate scrollwork carving to bring new character and depth.

A reminder that older furniture does not need replacing; sometimes it simply needs attention, imagination and care.
