My name is Katrin, the face (and working hands) behind Katkin Interiors.

I can honestly say I love what I do and what started as a hobby has turned into full-time work and a passion! A few years ago I started refinishing the furniture in our home, my nan’s furniture and then started picking up pieces anywhere I could find them! I was hooked and couldn’t leave a piece that might be thrown away and that is where my journey into refinishing vintage furniture began.

Period furniture carries such a history and has often been cherished for generations. Yet, over time, it can lose its charm and end up unwanted and discarded which for me is such a shame as it is built to last and just needs a little (sometimes a lot of) love and tender care!

when I restore and refinish vintage furniture, I try my utmost to celebrate their iconic look, staying sympathetic to their era and history, while restyling them to suit today’s homes.

There's nothing quite like breathing new life into a neglected piece of furniture and finding it a new, loving home where it will be respected and admired once more!
