Re-use, Recycle and Re-upholster

My latest mini makeover project was to give my old armchair a shot of style. Given to us by a friend en route to the dump a few years ago, it had, until recently, sat un-resplendent in a corner of the flat. Now it’s been given a long-overdue upgrade in a Moon & Sons (www.moons.co.uk) wool check and purple piping.

It seems I am not alone in jumping on the upcycling bandwagon. Given a thoroughly modern twist in a selection of plaids and tweeds, this reclaimed ‘Cinderella’ chair (£1,125, Ampersand Interiors www.ampersandinteriors.co.uk) is a prime example of how far you can take things. For more ideas visit their Edinburgh showroom and find our about their ‘Amp Up’ service which enables you to revive furniture that’s looking a bit forgotten and forlorn.
