Do you have an old piece of furniture? Or you’re sick of your house’s appearance and want to change it without spending much money? Changing old furniture is a great way to give your home a personal touch and a new life.
Here are some creative DIY ideas for changing the look of your furniture.
1. Chair reupholstery
If you reupholster a chair, it can look and feel completely different. First, remove the old padding and fabric. Once the chair body is out in the open, add new foam padding for extra comfort. Ensure you leave enough of the new fabric to wrap around the chair frame when you cut it to size.
To keep the fabric from wrinkling, start in the middle of each side and work your way out with a staple gun. Finally, put any trim or artistic pieces back on.
2. Designer-inspired nightstands
Use high-end materials and sleek hardware to make a nightstand that looks like a professional designed it. Painting a simple nightstand a classy color like blue, charcoal, or blush pink is a good place to start. For a bit of glitz, add hardware made of gold or brass. You could add a marble or mirrored top to make it look more stylish.
To make a unique top, you can use marble contact paper or a glass-cutting service. This easy but classy change will make your bedroom look better without costing much money.
3. Dog crate table
Turning a simple dog crate into a table can make it look good and useful. Pick a wood dog box that can also be used as a nightstand or side table. Smooth any rough spots and paint or stain them to fit your style. Put a strong piece of wood or marble on top to make a flat area for storing things.
This piece is comfortable for your pet and adds a unique touch to your room.
4. Hardware coffee table
Adding attractive hardware to a coffee table can turn it into a statement piece. First, paint or stain the table to fit your room’s style. Then, add hardware in an industrial style, like casters, brackets, or handles, to make it look solid and slick. You can also use used items like pipes or metal details to give a room a rustic or industrial look.
This update makes your coffee table more practical and gives your living room a unique look.
5. Rustic farmhouse table
Make a farmhouse table out of old wood that will be the focal point of your dining room. Start with a simple wooden table. Sand down the edges and top to give it a worn-in look. Paint the table with dark wood paint and let it soak in to give it a deep color. After the stain has dried, use a dry brush to paint over the stain with a lighter color, like white or cream.
To make the paint look old and worn, lightly sand it. Add a matte clear sealant to the end to protect the table and keep its country style.
6. Weathered gray cherry table
You can give your dining room or kitchen a country look by turning a cherry table into a work of art made of weathered gray. First, sand the table to get rid of the finish already there. Use a wood conditioner to make sure the color goes on evenly. Next, use a gray wood color and roll or brush it on in the direction of the grain.
Use a clean cloth to wipe off any extra color. Lightly sand the sides and any spots that would wear down over time to give it a weathered look. Lastly, seal the new look with a clear coat to keep it safe.
