Welcome to Rescued Designs

Hi, I’m Steph, the founder of Rescued Designs, where forgotten furniture finds a second chance and a fresh start.

My journey began long before Rescued Designs became a reality. Creativity has always been my heart and soul, leading me to study Fashion and Interior Design at the University of Huddersfield (BA Hons). Over the years, I poured my passion into upcycling projects for friends, family, and myself—turning unloved pieces into something beautiful and unique.

But it wasn’t until the pandemic that my hobby truly transformed into something more. Like so many, I found myself on furlough, and with time on my hands, I dove deeper into my creative work. What started as selling pieces from home quickly grew into something much bigger. By September 2023, I outgrew my home setup and opened my first workshop and shop at Broadstone Mill Shopping Outlet.

Fast forward to today, and Rescued Designs has blossomed beyond my dreams. In 2024, I was honoured to be a finalist in the Made in Stockport Business of the Year Awards. With the support of my amazing customers, I’ve expanded into a larger shop space and discovered an incredible community of like-minded furniture artists.

It was during this journey that I discovered Fusion Mineral Paint and fell in love. The colour range and finishing products transformed my designs, giving them a professional, stunning finish that my customers adore. But it wasn’t just about creating beautiful furniture anymore. I noticed a growing demand: people wanted to learn how to rescue and transform their own pieces.

That’s when Rescued Designs became more than just a shop, it became a hub for creativity. As one of the few stockists of Fusion Mineral Paint in South Greater Manchester, I’m proud to offer the tools, inspiration, and guidance you need to bring your furniture back to life.

So, whether you’re looking for a bespoke statement piece, premium furniture paints and supplies, or workshops to ignite your creative spark, Rescued Designs is here for you.
