A dining table that has hosted years of family meals. A sideboard with the right proportions. A piece you have always loved, even as your home has changed.
Furniture restoration is a chance to reconsider what you already own. Talk to Tempo Interiors about your piece, its condition and the result you have in mind. Our Mosman studio brings furniture and interior decorating together, so the conversation can consider both the piece itself and its place in your home.
Explore a selection of furniture projects by Tempo Interiors, including dining settings, sideboards and a timber-framed daybed.
Restoration starts with a few useful questions. What do you want to keep? What is no longer working? Are you hoping to address wear, rethink the finish or make a much-loved piece feel at home in a different room?
The right approach depends on the furniture's construction, existing surface, condition and intended use. Share what you know about its history, along with any damage or previous repairs. If there is a feature you especially value, such as the grain, colour or original details, tell us that too.
A dining table has to work with everyday life as well as the room around it. When enquiring, include photographs of the tabletop, edges, base and any marks you would like addressed. Let us know whether your enquiry concerns the table, the chairs or the full setting.
With storage furniture, the outside appearance is only part of the picture. Include photographs of doors, drawers, handles and any areas that are damaged or difficult to use. Tell us whether you want to retain the existing character or explore a different direction.
Some pieces bring timber and upholstery together. If your project includes fabric, seat cushions or upholstered panels, include those details in your enquiry. You can also explore our bespoke furniture and upholstery service.
If your piece carries a Parker, Chiswell, Fler or Danish Deluxe label, include a photograph of it with your enquiry. The same applies to furniture by Moran, Tessa, Van Treight, Jackson and Burgess.
Model details, maker stamps and old receipts can help explain the piece and what you want to retain. You can also enquire about unlabelled furniture. Suitability and proposed work are considered individually; a familiar name alone does not determine the restoration approach.

Photographs are a useful starting point. The scope and suitability of any work need to be considered for the individual piece. Before proceeding, discuss the proposed work, finish or fabric choices, price, timing and any collection or delivery arrangements.
Consider its condition, construction, usefulness and what it means to you, alongside the likely cost of the work. A piece may be worth keeping because it fits your home or has personal significance. A photograph alone cannot establish its value or reveal every repair it may need.
The cost depends on the individual piece and the work involved. Size, condition, repairs, materials, finish choices and transport can all affect the scope. Send photographs and details so your enquiry can begin with the furniture you actually have.
That depends on the material, existing finish and condition of the piece. Share a reference image or describe the look you have in mind. A change of colour or sheen should be considered with the construction and character of the furniture; not every finish is suitable for every surface.
Furniture restoration can involve the condition, structure or finish of an existing piece. Reupholstery focuses on its covering and, where needed, the padding and support beneath. A piece with an exposed timber frame and upholstered seat may need both kinds of work.
Photograph and describe each concern separately, including veneer damage, marks and any movement in the frame. Different problems call for different assessments. The material, depth of damage and structural condition all matter when considering what work is suitable.
Timing depends on the agreed work, materials and availability. Include any deadline in your first enquiry and discuss the schedule before making arrangements. A particular completion date needs to be confirmed for your project.
