Client reviews

“Friendly, imaginative, creative, Catherine has an excellent eye for colour and material for modern or antique furniture. Her advice is always invaluable. Attention to detail and finish is second to none. I highly recommend Ivy Upholstery.”

Dawn

“Lovely to work with Catherine to create my vision for this space. I now have my window seat and it is so very comfortable and beautiful to look at. Catherine obviously loves her work and the quality of her work is spot on.”

Ali

”Catherine reupholstered my very well worn armchair and I couldn’t be happier with the result. She is professional, efficient and highly skilled. Gorgeous, carefully curated, fabric choices and an all-round excellent experience. Highly recommend. Thank you, Ivy Upholstery.“

About me

I have always greatly enjoyed restoring old things and I get huge satisfaction from bringing something once worn or neglected back to life. With furniture, this often means a transformation from faded and sad looking to smart and vibrant, perfect for modern living and ready for the next chapter of its story.

In 2014 I began studying for the Association of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers’ Diploma in Upholstery and in 2018, I passed with distinction. I am now a fully qualified AMUSF upholsterer, dividing my time between working for myself at my Norfolk-based workshop and working with other colleagues in the industry.
