Our story

A simple mission, kept since 1980.

Founded in 1980, Newlook Upholstery began with a simple mission: to provide high-quality furniture restoration and bespoke upholstery that combines traditional techniques with modern innovation.

Over the years our reputation has grown, and today we are trusted by homeowners, commercial clients, interior designers and property developers alike. From humble beginnings we have grown into one of the region’s most respected upholstery companies, completing projects for prestigious developments, show homes, luxury apartments, hotels, restaurants, cruise liners and more, while staying true to our values of integrity, craftsmanship and exceptional customer service.
