Furniture Restoration or refurbishment is the process of repairing, fixing, modifying, repainting and repolishing an item of furniture.
At Bywater Design we have been restoring furniture for Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast region for over 30 years. We have proudly been the official restorer for Brisbane City Hall Restoration project as well as numerous heritage projects around the greater Brisbane area.
Items such as dining suites, armoires, boardroom tables, traditional chest of drawers, ,Qld Maple wardrobes, , consoles, partners desks have all been beautifully restored by our team focusing on traditional woodworking techniques to ensure a beautiful outcome every time.
We specialize in all facets of antique and furniture restoration including, furniture repair, furniture repolishing, French polishing, 2 pack finishes, woodcarving and woodturning.
With the more complicated process of a complete dining suite restoration, we take pride in assuring all processes including removal of the old finish, sanding, and regluing are done with the utmost care and precision ensuring every component is structural and ready to continue to work for another 30 years.
With an antique commode restoration or wardrobe, we have had many requests varying from a simple clean and polish to a full conversion.
Some of these conversions have included modifying to full open bookcases and using the doors as hall mirrors
Converting wardrobes into display units with mirror backs, glass shelves and downlights is a popular choice with our clients.
Upcycling existing furniture is always a wise and often stunning decision.
No matter what the restoration project; from a humble chair repair to the more complex restoration pieces the emphasis is always on skill and quality applications of design and polish.
We also provide wardrobe modifications, polishing touch-ups, colour changes, height alterations.
Our onsite furniture cleaning and maintenance program is an easy practical solution, where our team will come to your office or home and undertake minor furniture repairs/alterations and rewax and repolish your furniture so that it is back to its former glory.
