A beautiful example of how warm neutrals are having their moment 🤎

I upholstered this armchair for Abraham Moon in a rich, earthy brown Melton wool from one of their staple collections.

With interiors moving towards warmer, more natural colour palettes, shades like chocolate, taupe, stone and terracotta feel both contemporary and timeless — and wool gives them so much depth and texture.

Lovely to see one of my pieces styled so beautifully for the collection by

Such a lovely transformation for this vintage Ercol rocking chair 💛

Finished in a gorgeous mustard chenille that works perfectly with the dark wood frame. I love how the rich colour brings it up to date while still letting the character of the original chair shine through ✨

A beautiful set of six G Plan Fresco dining chairs, designed by V.B. Wilkins in the 1960s ✨

An iconic piece of British mid-century design, these chairs have been fully reupholstered in a warm, textured yellow wool, beautifully complementing the rich wooden frames and those distinctive curved backs.

I love how they look all together - such a classic elegant design 🫶🏼

This little chair has gone from blending in, to becoming a real statement piece ✨ reupholstered in this beautiful abstract print by Laura Slater

The bold design completely changes the character of the chair while still letting its beautiful mid-century shape shine through.

If you have a piece of furniture you'd like to give a new lease of life, I'd love to help.

Sometimes the simplest pieces are the most technically challenging.

This chair may look clean and understated, but its flowing curves and continuous silhouette made it anything but straightforward to upholster.

The challenge wasn't the pattern – it was getting the fabric to flow around every curve without a single crease while keeping the chair's sculptural form intact.

I'm loving the latest vibrant additions to the Parquet collection. This rich burnt orange makes such a beautiful statement and pairs perfectly with the warm neutral tones. Definitely one of my favourite new colours!

Gorgeous styling as always by
