About Tia Chola Decor

Hello

Thank you for visiting my page. Here’s how it all began…

My journey into upcycling and home décor started during the Covid-19 pandemic while I was working as an NHS nurse caring for sick children. Looking for a way to support my own emotional wellbeing, I found comfort in restoring small pieces of furniture. What began as therapy quickly became a source of joy, creativity, and calm.

As I experimented with new techniques, my home filled with restored treasures. I began selling them—mostly to make space and buy more paint—and was deeply encouraged by the positive feedback. Over time, I expanded from upcycling furniture into painting, decorating, and transforming small interior spaces, always with a focus on sustainability and mindful design.

After years of refining my craft and growing my passion, I’m proud to bring everything together here. This website is the next step in my journey—a place where upcycled pieces meet thoughtful décor, and creativity meets care.

Thank you for being here and supporting a passion that began as healing and became a purpose.

Best regards,

Laura,
