Upcycled Decor: Hand-Painted Vinyl, Trays, and Vintage Restoration

Giving Old Objects a Second Chance

I see value in the things others might call junk. That dusty tea box in your attic or the old vinyl record gathering shelf-space? They carry memories that deserve to be seen. My approach to upcycled decor is about blending the object's original soul with a fresh, artistic layer.

My Process

When you hand over an item for restoration or upcycling, I start by sitting with it. Understanding the texture and history of the base material is crucial before I reach for my brushes.

• Surface Prep: I ensure every item is cleaned and gesso-primed so the paint adheres properly.
• Hand-Painting: Using specialized acrylics, I apply designs ranging from traditional Ganjifa art to modern florals, depending on the object's character.
• Finishing: For functional decor like trays or coasters, I use a high-gloss, food-safe resin coating. This creates a durable, glass-like finish that protects the art from spills and daily handling.

Why Choose Upcycled Decor?

Choosing to restore rather than replace isn't just about sustainability; it's about owning a piece that no one else has. If you have a specific item you love but feels tired, bring it to my studio in Noida. We can discuss whether it needs a subtle highlight of metallic paint or a complete transformation into a vibrant, modern wall piece. I am happy to work with both client-provided sentimental items and vintage objects I have sourced myself.
