Upcycling and Repurposing
If you’re not looking for a huge project, maybe have a go at some upcycling! Dear Old Thing on West Street is full of vintage and second-hand furniture that you can transform into something incredible with just a lick of paint. Small effort but huge results!

Repurposing is also great for smaller DIY projects. Why not take an old cabinet and turn it into a brand-new entertainment unit or even a bar for your home? Check out Rhubarb and Jumble on North Street and see what treasures they have for you!
Is there something you love that you just want to update a little? Maybe a footstool or a headboard? Like Sew Amazing has a wonderfully massive range of fabrics in all colours and textures just waiting for you to collect and revamp your furniture with. Check them out!
Reupholstering can be so rewarding. You can take the empty shell of an old chair and bring it back to all its former glory. South West Upholstery on North Street is the place to go to get everything you need for your project. Whether it’s the fabric, replacement cushions or if you need some foam cut to size, they do it all!

What better way to bring new life into your home than with a fresh lick of paint, some new wallpaper and all finished off with a beautiful selection of cushions and throws? What more could you want!
