Modern Upholstery

Modern Upholstery is a contemporary guide designed to demystify the art of upholstery and inspire you to have a go at transforming your own furniture.

Micaela Sharp shows us that with a few skills, some tools and the desire to learn, we can actually forge a new, more sustainable path when it comes to furnishing our homes. With information on how to source second-hand furniture and find fabric inspiration you'll be able to create more sustainable, and personal pieces.

Along with oodles of inspiration, the book features core techniques as well as decorative skills. There are also four projects that you can make along with Micaela to really bring a sense of style to your home: a headboard, footstool, windowseat cushion and armchair.

Micaela Sharp has an online upholstery masterclass course with Create Academy and has appeared on Interior Design Masters (BBC2), where she made it to the semi-finals. She is a regular expert on Alan Titchmarsh's Love Your Weekend (ITV), was on a team of experts for Kings of the Wood (Discovery+), and was the first-ever Black interior designer on Changing Rooms (Channel 4).
