About

Upcycling Commissions

Bespoke to your personal style

Not everyone has the time or inclination to do their own upcycling. If you’d like to commission an upcycle tell us about your project and ideas. We will assess the scope of work and provide a quote to carry out the job to your exact brief. The beauty of commissioning an upcycle is that you can choose a finish tailor made to suit your existing décor when just can’t find the right piece or simply to keep a dated but quality piece of furniture in play. 

If you don’t already have a suitable piece of your own to upcycle we can also source quality second hand items that would be ideal to upcycle to your requirements.

"The chest of drawers is amazing. You have breathed new life into it and the colours are a perfect match for the room, the chest of drawers has been in the family for close on 30 years and the work you have done gives it a fresh new look. Thanks a million."

Simon (Commission customer)

“I have been friends with Claire for about 8 years, I first met Claire at a private college in Clapham where I was currently teaching. Right from the start Claire, showed not only talent, but a flair for design, and that coupled with her determination and enthusiasm has led her onto many wonderful and life changing design led experiences today. I am so pleased that you have opened your shop Claire and I hope you have lots of fun as I know that you have wanted to do this for a long time."
