Hi, I'm Brenda...
If you've dreamt of creating a home you love, then you've come to the right place!

Why choose Phoenix Furniture Studio? I put my heart and soul into each piece, so for me, quality and attention to detail are of utmost importance. I really enjoy working with my clients – listening to their vision, brainstorming, creating a mood board together and then bringing that to life! I want my clients to feel special, so each and every piece I create is a one-off that I will never re-create again. You will be the only person who has that piece of furniture, in that design IN THE WHOLE WORLD! It gives me so much joy to hear from my clients how much they love their unique furniture pieces when they are delivered to their homes.

My Values
Outstanding Service

I believe in making you feel special throughout your entire experience. Browse my pieces, ask me anything, and let me guide you through the design and refinishing process. I'll ensure a seamless journey with a focus on your needs.

Clear Communication

Transparency is my top priority. You can rest assured you will have clear communication with someone who understands your vision for the project. I will keep you informed every step of the way, with regular photo updates, and even video calls if you prefer a more interactive experience.

Eco-Conscious & Sustainable

Whenever possible, I use eco-friendly refinishing products and prioritise sourcing materials from UK brands. This reduces our environmental footprint and supports local businesses, both key to our sustainable mission. Plus, with every project, I partner with Just One Tree to plant a tree in your name! By choosing Phoenix Furniture Studio, you're not just restoring a piece, you're helping restore our environment.

Exceptional Quality

Quality is paramount. I select only the best vintage furniture, pieces designed and constructed with longevity in mind. When I refinish them, I use premium quality materials to ensure your treasure endures for years to come.

Why Choose Vintage Furniture
History

More than furniture, it's a conversation piece with the past! That vintage sideboard? It wasn't just built, it lived. It might have witnessed the first moon landing or the rise of iconic trends. Imagine the stories it could tell of roaring twenties parties or the music scene that blossomed alongside Art Deco design. When you choose vintage, you bring a piece of history home.

Quality

Solid wood furniture isn't just built, it's crafted to endure. Imagine a 1930's chest of drawers – still gleaming today! That's the testament to solid wood's enduring beauty. But the magic goes beyond durability. Look closer and you'll find the soul of the piece – intricate dovetail joints, smooth-gliding drawers, and exquisite carvings – a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of a bygone era.

Environment

In today's fast-paced world, furniture often gets tossed aside for the latest trends. Upcycling offers a sustainable alternative. By giving pre-loved pieces a makeover, you're not just acquiring a unique treasure, you're helping the environment. Upcycling keeps valuable materials out of landfills and promotes a ``circular economy`` where resources are used and reused, lessening our environmental footprint. It's a win-win for your home and the planet!
