Are you more tired of your interior than TV ads? Try upcycling – an effective way to add variety to your apartment
The term "upcycling" is used when talking about reusing old items.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , today this trend is becoming increasingly popular, so it’s high time to find things in your home that can get a new life.
Let's take as an example an old chest of drawers, which can be transformed into three new items at once.
Its frame can be used to make a fireplace portal. The drawers can be painted and placed on the wall, creating unique compositions. And the door can be transformed into a shelf or a table, depending on its size.
Don't forget about the bedroom.
A standard headboard can be replaced with an old door or painted pallets. A bedside table can be made from old books or a chair. And a sewing machine stand can be used to create a dressing table.
Besides, you can always restore old furniture. Wardrobes, bedside tables, chests of drawers and chairs can be repainted, varnished – and now you have not ancient junk, but vintage items.
If we talk about upholstered furniture, then changing the filler and re-upholstering can work wonders.
