Why Choose upcycled furniture? The act of salvaging an item that has grown old, worn and shabby and transforming it into something you can treasure for longer is deeply satisfying, not to mention hugely beneficial for the environment. Upcycling is all about being creative with something old, reclaiming discarded items and material and adding value and style.

Who we are Urban Shed is a company that uses your old pieces of material such as wood, metal, wine barrels, rubber and glass, and repurposes them into home, upcycled furniture pieces. We believe in customization and restoring old treasures back to life. Our company believes in creating items that celebrate craftmanship, design and production. We offer a beautiful collection of restored and unique upcycled furniture for your home. As lovers of all things vintage and quirky - we take inspiration from French, country and retro interiors. We feel that furniture and wood can look so much better with age and character. We want original features to shine through and not be hidden. We want the past to be celebrated and embraced. We love furniture and take immense delight in transforming a forgotten piece of furniture into an item that will be adored again for years to come. Some pieces are restored, some pieces are lovingly handpainted, sanded and waxed using only the best paints and accessories. We also offer a bespoke furniture upcycling service. You choose the paint and accessories and we will do all the work for you. We can even source specific items of furniture for you.
