Upcycling Ireland: Beverley Wilde got into upcycling with the help of online communities, and it inspired her to help others try it.
When starting a new hobby, finding a like-minded community on social media is a great source of support. Beverley Wilde got into upcycling with the help of online communities, and it’s inspired her to help others try their hand at it., an online store and upcycling service. Beverly also offers masterclasses and hosts regular Facebook lives to help people improve their upcycling skills and shares tips on how to locate, treat and transform old furniture.
I got the chance to turn my passion for DIY and upcycling into a business in recent years that has thankfully gone from strength to strength. Even during lockdown, I got the chance to connect with new customers and communities on Facebook and Instagram.I was artistic at school and enjoyed being creative.
I also set up an Instagram page which now has a community of over 3,000 dedicated upcyclers! Every day, I receive messages from followers asking for advice on everything from how to treat a certain type of wood to how to upcycle certain types of furniture that you might think are destined for the skip.
In my opinion, Facebook and Instagram are brilliant places for getting inspiration for revamping old furniture and sharing useful ways to upcycle household items. Some of my favourite pages or accounts to follow are
