Updating old furniture is easy when it has good bones and is made from quality material. Too many of us discard dated furniture because we are unaware of how easy it is to makeover. It’s one thing to throw away furniture that is mouldy and beyond repair. It’s another thing to discard a perfectly good piece that could have been completely made over with a fresh coat of paint!
Upcycling furniture is a great way to recycle and save money. In this blog we show you three easy upcycling projects that are cost-friendly and suitable for beginners.
1.Upcycled Designer Cabinet And Stool
Timber drawers and a piano bench are sanded, painted, then updated with fabric for use in a home office.
This dark stained timber furniture was updated with gloss white paint and blue and white fabric
2. Make A Silhouette Stencil Cabinet
A small, battered cupboard was updated by adding a neutral background featuring a simple gloss black design.
This mismatched timber cabinet was given a designer makeover with grey paint and a stencilled silhouette
The end result is a cabinet that looks modern and stylish
3. Paint-Splatter Sideboard
A traditional piece of furniture is turned into a contemporary work of art with the creative use of paint.
A three-door sideboard is ideal for this two-tone paint effect so it can be broken into thirds, leaving enough room for the spatter effect
Coats of white and black paint transformed this sideboard into a striking piece of furniture
