The Patchwork Umbrella

The Patchwork Umbrella The Patchwork Umbrella is a haven of homemade loveliness Welcome to The Patchwork Umbrella - Bespoke furniture renovations.

We pride ourselves in being a friendly, family run business small enough to care and listen, but competent enough to dress your entire home. We have over a decade of high quality restoration experience and all of our items are hand sourced and we only stock what we are proud enough to place in our own home. Our main aim is to source the perfect piece for our customers at their request. (Please see

terms and conditions)
As part of out team we have available an qualified joiner who ensures that although our items are pre-loved they still have a lifetime to offer, this also means that we can offer a unique bespoke service. As well as hand renovated furniture, under the Umbrella of craft we also proudly create home made accessories and seasonal items. The Patchwork Umbrella is focused enough to deal with tailor made requests and even offer assistance with courier services, only working with the most competitive priced companies with the highest of standards. TERMS & CONDITIONS:
When placing an order with The Patchwork Umbrella, you will receive a confirmation email and breakdown of items ordered. This should include any courier arrangements. From this point onwards our customers have 7 days 'cooling off' whereby an order can be cancelled. Unless it is stated by the customer that the order is to go ahead purchases will not be made unless the cooling off period is expired. If for whatever reason our customers are unhappy, then on receiving their items they are within their right to send them back in the condition that they have received them, for a full refund as per long distance selling laws, however the return courier charge will be at the customers expense. Refunds will not be issued until items are returned to our premises. This is very unlikely as we succeed in working so close with our customers at every stage of the process to ensure a happy result. Customers are free to pay in instalments at my discretion, however items will not be dispatched until full payment has been received. A minimum deposit of 25% is required before items are specifically sourced, but larger deposits can be made at request. A minimum of 10% is required as deposit to secure 'general sale' items. We are not responsible for goods in transit, however we will assist our customers in any claims made against said couriers. We do accommodate customers who use their own couriers or choose to collect their items themselves, within our operating hours. Hours can be extended upon request at our discretion. Please note that if an item is purchased but not collected at an agreed date then a small storage may apply.

Okay… I think I owe you a little clue. 👀😂

I’ve been VERY tempted to tell you what’s been going on since my last post…

And honestly, keeping this secret is proving harder than I thought! 🙈

So here’s your first little clue…

It involves something I’m already rather obsessed with… 🤎

And there may have been a LOT more of it than I was expecting. 😂

That’s all you’re getting for now!

But I will tell you this…

What happened this week isn’t just about what I brought home.

It’s about someone believing in me and my little business, and an opportunity that I’m genuinely so excited to make the most of.

And next week there’s another part of the story that I’m REALLY looking forward to sharing with you…

👀🎨🤎

Any guesses?

And no… I’m not telling you if you’re right! 😂

I received an email the other week that I honestly wasn’t expecting… 🥹❤️

And I’m still trying to get my head around what happened next.

Someone I had never met had discovered The Patchwork Umbrella through Facebook and Instagram.

She’d been looking at my work… and apparently, she could see something in it that I sometimes forget to see in myself.

She could see my passion.
My heart.
And the amount of hard work I put into what I do.

And then she offered to do something incredibly kind.

Today I finally got to meet this wonderful lady in person.

And I came home with something that has left me slightly speechless. 🙈

I’m not going to tell you what it is just yet…

But let’s just say my little workshop is about to get VERY exciting. 👀

And there’s another little surprise involved too…

More to be revealed… 🤎

I genuinely feel so incredibly lucky that someone has taken the time to notice my work, believe in what I’m building and want to help me on this little journey.

Sometimes the kindness of another person completely takes you by surprise. ❤️

And this one really has.

Watch this space… 👀

✨ £275 — 13 Drawer Sideboard / Chest of Drawers ✨

This beauty has had a lovely little transformation and I’m absolutely loving how she’s turned out! 🤍

125cm (49”) wide
53cm (20.75”) deep

As always, the original photographs show the actual piece for sale. We sometimes create AI-generated room images alongside our original photos to help you visualise how a piece could look in a home. These are for inspiration only — the furniture itself is not altered and the original photographs should be used to judge the true colour, finish and condition.

If you love her, drop us a message! 🤍

When your daughter becomes your unpaid marketing manager… 😂

Apparently she’s decided she’s going to keep posting until Frenchic notices Mum’s business…

Her reason?
Because apparently “Mum spends more money on Frenchic than she does on me.” 😂😂

I mean… she’s not entirely wrong. 👀

So, Frenchic… if you’re seeing this… please notice us! 😂💗

She’s clearly committed to the cause and, quite frankly, I’m not brave enough to stop her now! 😂

🤎 A little farmhouse beauty…

This lovely little console table has had a complete transformation and I absolutely adore how it’s turned out!

Painted in Frenchic Drama Llama, paired with its beautiful natural wood top and brass cup handles, it has that warm, understated farmhouse feel that would work beautifully in a hallway, living room or bedroom.

With two drawers plus a handy open shelf, it’s not just pretty — it’s practical too. 🤍

📏 75cm (29.5”) wide × 40cm (15.75”) deep

💷 £135

As always, the original photographs show the actual piece. I’ve also created a couple of AI-styled images to help show how the furniture could look in a home setting — purely for inspiration and visualisation. ✨

If this little beauty would look at home in your house, drop me a message. 🤎
