It is not always necessary to get rid of old furniture, because it can still be updated by adding a few design touches.
There are a few tricks that will help you breathe new life into an old piece of furniture.
Repainting
Often after renovation, old furniture or decor do not fit into the new interior in color. In this case, paint will help out, which can be selected for various materials: wood, metal, porcelain stoneware. In this way, you can update cabinets, chairs, tables, a metal lampshade, tiles or a heating radiator.
Change assignment
Things that were in demand several decades ago can be used to complement a modern interior. For example, an old stool with an ornate leg can serve as a bedside table, and an old suitcase can be turned into a vintage side table.
Replacement of fittings
Designers advise experimenting with the fittings of old furniture. For example, if the cabinet is not too bad, you can replace the old handles with larger items that deliberately attract attention. Fittings in the form of branches, snakes or other unusual options.
Change of emphasis
When planning a renovation but not wanting to part with some furniture, such as a bed or a wardrobe, people often create a new interior around these items. That is, furniture determines what the space will be like. For example, designers figure out what wallpaper, bedside tables, flooring, and decorative elements will best complement the bed.
Reupholstery
A relevant move for those who are in no hurry to get rid of an old sofa or armchairs. If the problem is only in the old, worn and irrelevant fabric, then re-upholstery will reduce the costs and time spent on finding new furniture.
