Upholstery by Nicola Mulligan

I successfully completed my Level 3 Upholstery at the London Metropolitan University and was awarded a Distinction in 2006. Since then I have been working from home in Surrey and have restored a number of antique chairs using only traditional methods.

I am always on the lookout for suitable projects either from local auctions, antique fairs or individuals. Every project is so rewarding and satisfying. I love fabrics and am always looking to challenge myself by attempting something a little different to give each piece a unique twist.
