<\/a>\nPass the Paintbrush<\/strong><\/p>\n
The simplest way to renew old furniture is to give it a good old paint job. Not only will the paint disguise any unwanted old fashioned colour trends, but it will also add a personal touch. The colour can be matched to other features in your home to reinforce your design aesthetic. There\u2019s tons of different looks you can go for with paint; from shabby chic, vintage cracked, to French distressed, there\u2019s something to suit every style.<\/p>\n
Change up Your Cupboards <\/strong><\/p>\n Why not take it a step further and consider changing the handles of your existing cupboards or draws for an instant facelift. If you\u2019re not a fan of the one\u2019s you have already, good quality furniture can be found in charity shops or at auctions. New handles can be salvaged from other pieces of furniture or purchased new. If the furniture cannot be salvaged, the handles can sometimes be reused and attached to a board to be used as a coat rack or to hang kitchen utensils and tea towels.<\/p>\n Give Your Seating a Makeover<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have wooden dining chair\u2019s that look a little worse for wear, don\u2019t throw them, re-paint and upholster them by adding a new seat cover and wadding. They\u2019ll look brand new for less than half the price of what a completely new chair would cost. You can even do this to an old poof or footstool by adding some vintage fabric and line the trim with beads. Everyone will be wondering where you got such a beautiful, unique piece of furniture.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
