Are you tired of your old furniture but don’t want to spend a fortune on buying new ones? Fear not! There are ways to make over your furniture on a budget that won’t break the bank. This post has some tips and tricks to help you transform your furniture and give it a new lease on life.
How To Make Over Your Furniture On A Budget
- Paint it up!One of the easiest and most affordable ways to make over your furniture is to give it a fresh coat of paint. Choose a color that complements your existing decor or go for a bold and dramatic look with a bright pop of color. Make sure to clean and sand the surface before applying paint for the best results. I have shared so many tips and painted makeovers here on my blog. Check out my 10 tips on how to paint furniture to get started HERE.
- Get creative with fabricAnother way to spruce up your furniture is to add new fabric. Whether it’s reupholstering your couch or adding a new tablecloth to your dining table, the fabric can give your furniture a whole new look. Look for affordable options like clearance fabrics, thrifted sheets, or even repurpose clothes you no longer wear.
- Refurbish and re-purposeInstead of buying new furniture, consider refurbishing and repurposing your old pieces. A coat of varnish or polish can restore the shine on wooden furniture, while new knobs and handles can give a cabinet or dresser a fresh look. You can also repurpose furniture pieces for different uses, like turning an old door into a headboard or an old suitcase into a coffee table. You can find many of my repurposed projects HERE.
- Use wallpaperWallpaper isn’t just for walls! You can also use it to add interest and texture to furniture. Apply wallpaper to the inside of a bookshelf, dresser drawer, or the back of a cabinet for a unique touch. Look for removable wallpaper, so you can easily change it up if you get tired of the look. You can find a bookcase I made over with wallpaper HERE.
- Add some accessoriesFinally, don’t forget to add some accessories to your furniture. Throw pillows, blankets, and decorative items can instantly add personality and style to your space. You can find affordable options at thrift stores or discount home decor stores.
You don’t need to spend a lot of money to make over your furniture. With a little creativity and some elbow grease, you can transform your space and make your furniture look brand new. Try out these tips and see the difference they can make!
