Sometimes the most treasured pieces in our homes are the ones that have been with us the longest. That dining table where the family gathers, the chest of drawers that’s been through three house moves, the wardrobe that belonged to your nan – these pieces hold memories, but they might be looking a bit tired these days.
That’s where we come in. At The Shed On The Left, we don’t just restore furniture – we give it a whole new chapter whilst honouring its history.
Completely Unique to You
When we take on a domestic commission, we’re not creating something that’ll end up in someone else’s living room. Your piece will be absolutely unique to you – no one else will have the same design, the same colour scheme, or the same story. It’s bespoke furniture restoration that celebrates what makes your home special.
Every Room, Every Style
We work with all types of wooden furniture for every corner of your home:
Living Room – Coffee tables, sideboards, bookcases, occasional chairs
Dining Room – Tables, chairs, dressers, display cabinets
Bedroom – Wardrobes, chest of drawers, bedside tables, dressing tables
Kitchen – Pine tables, Welsh dressers, kitchen chairs, storage units
Hallway – Console tables, coat stands, shoe storage
Study – Desks, office chairs, filing cabinets, shelving
Outdoor – Tables, chairs, picnic tables
We love mixing styles too – vintage pieces alongside modern furniture, traditional oak next to painted pine. It’s about creating a home that reflects your personality, not following some magazine’s idea of what everything should match.
A Labour of Love
For us, restoring furniture isn’t just a job – it’s a proper passion. There’s something magical about watching a tired, forgotten piece slowly transform into something beautiful again. We get genuinely excited about every project, and we know you’ll feel the same when you see your furniture coming back to life.
Why Restore Rather Than Replace?
In a world obsessed with buying new, there’s something wonderfully satisfying about giving existing pieces a second chance. Why spend hundreds on new furniture when your existing pieces might just need a bit of love and imagination?
Think about it:
- That solid wood dining table has better bones than anything you’ll find in the high street
- Your gran’s wardrobe was built to last – they don’t make them like that anymore
- Those pine chairs just need the right colour to become the perfect complement to your new kitchen
Painted or re-varnished furniture brings colour and life to any room. It’s about creating spaces that feel personal, lived-in, and full of character.

Our Promise to You
Quality Materials Only – We use high-quality paints, waxes, and finishes from leading brands. Your furniture deserves the best, and that’s what it gets.
Attention to Detail – Every curve, every joint, every decorative element gets the care it deserves. We’re not rushing to get through jobs – we’re crafting something special.
You’re Part of the Journey – We’ll keep you involved throughout the whole process, sending pictures and videos as we progress. There’s nothing quite like watching your furniture transform step by step.
The Transformation Process
Every piece tells us what it needs. Some want a complete colour change, others are crying out for their original wood to be revealed. Some need structural work, others just want a fresh finish. We listen to both you and the furniture to create the perfect restoration plan.
From tired to treasured:
- Structural repairs to make everything solid and safe
- Surface preparation that respects the original craftsmanship
- Colour choices that complement your home and lifestyle
- Protective finishes that’ll keep everything looking brilliant for years
More Than Just Furniture
When we restore a piece for your home, we’re not just making it look better – we’re extending its story. That table will host more family dinners, that chair will be part of more conversations, that dresser will display more treasures.
We’re helping you create a home filled with pieces that have genuine character and personal meaning, rather than mass-produced items that could belong to anyone.
