It all started when...

Micaela went on an upholstery course!

At Micaela Sharp Design (formerly Sharp & Simpson) we value quality materials, expert service and a friendly approach. Our goal is to make the process as simple as possible for you because we understand that great interior design and upholstery can make a house a home!

Growing up Micaela’s family taught her carpentry and sewing skills and so upholstery was the perfect blend of the two.

At her upholstery course she fell in love with the craft and decided to start her own business centring on modern design and a quality finish.

Micaela Sharp Design, was born which now includes an interior design offering. We love to create spaces that have a modern feel with traditional elements and quality craftsmanship.

The team has grown and Micaela oversees a larger number of talented upholsterers, curtain makers and trades.

We work with individuals to update family homes and furniture as well as with commercials enterprises for office and leisure spaces. Get in touch!
