Design and make a piece of furniture for your home with Semper Hopkins
Do you find yourself constantly browsing the internet or Pinterest looking for interior inspiration or new furniture ideas? I am exactly the same.

International day of happiness – do more things that make you happy!
International Day of Happiness is on 20th March 2022 and takes place across the UN and its focus is build back happier and make peoples wellbeing a top priority. As we will all know, with how things have been the last two years, this day of happiness might not have always been the ‘happiest’. It was much harder to do things which made us happy last year with the UK being in lockdown, not being able to see those we love and not being able to do day to day activities we once, perhaps, took for granted!
Making Time For Mum…
Making time for yourself as a mother is one of the most important things you can do as part as self-care. Of course, keeping busy and looking after your children will be a main priority, and your work if that applies.
Our Story
How did Semper Hopkins begin?

What can you buy for someone that has everything this Christmas? Why not treat them to an Upholstery Workshop experience.
If your loved one is anything like me, they will probably buy whatever they want there and then. This can make it much more difficult for loved ones to try and find them a gift they will want or make use of, come the festive period. In our house, we choose to save Christmas present money and put it towards things such as holidays in the New Year...
