Why you shouldn't throw your old furniture away. 5 practical ideas for her "resuscitation"

Someone easily throws away furniture from the past, replacing it with new standard models, and some do not dare to do so radical step and pityingly glance at their old chest of drawers, table or wardrobe, sympathizing with their irrelevance or uselessness. So why be sad, having such a unique chance to bring an amazing piece of furniture into your interior?

Good afternoon dear friends!

Moreover, to breathe a second life into "ancient" furniture sometimes a little decorative touch, creativity and a little time are enough. And as a result, a battered chest of drawers, an old wardrobe or awkward chairs, the potential status of which, more recently, was "wood", transform into meaningful and trendy interior elements again. Therefore, today I have prepared 5 creative solutions that will help you in such an amazing transformation.

Moreover, you you don't have to be a great carpenter or an experienced DIY fan, as the ideas below are quite simple and easy to implement at home!

1.Two-tone painting. Agree!? The attractiveness of the appearance of furniture is 80% dependent on its color. And the old furniture, unfortunately, does not have such a bright and “tasty” appearance. Therefore, painting it will be a win-win solution! At the same time, all you need for a fashionable transformation is a primer, white paint and varnish. Well, not counting some tools (hair dryer, grinder, roller, screwdriver ...). And as a result of such a simple restoration, you will receive a graphic two-tone dresser in the Scandinavian style.

By the way, it is quite possible to change the color with the help of a self-adhesive film. Only if the reconstructed surface is not “rich” in reliefs.

2.Bright decor. Often, shabby and worn-out stools (chairs) "fly out" from the house in the first place. And with them their bright revival! Not fair, because they deserve a second chance! In this case, it is only necessary to grind the defects acquired by time, and then paint. For more visual interest, the chair legs can be painted in a bright, tasty shade.

Ultimately, save the furniture and bring a cheerful, iridescent touch to the interior!

3.Stencil accent. Get a ready-made template in a decor salon. Their assortment is large enough, and the price is insignificant. While the result of all this transformation will be amazing and unique! After all, using a stencil for restoration is almost hand-painted!

And your once boring chest of drawers will immediately become elegant, and an awkward bedside table will turn into an element of furniture from the current model range!

4.Fashionable reception. If, after the renovation, you still have wallpaper (self-adhesive foil), then this is a great chance to use them and give an original touch to your old furniture. First, unscrew the handles, and, if possible, remove the doors if this is a cabinet. Or pull out the drawers if you plan to work with a chest of drawers. Then carefully, slowly, glue the wallpaper, which will ultimately not only transform the old furniture, but also bring the final touch to your interior.

Then you just have to wait for the glue to dry and return all the "details" to their place.

5.Parts bet. If you have no desire to fiddle with paint, and the furniture is still in a tolerable condition, then why not focus on small nuances? For example, replace the fittings or add a couple of additional decorative elements that will give the furniture a completely different look.

In addition, this simple idea will help you integrate old furniture aesthetically into a modern interior, if decorative elements (shapes, lines) will be used not only on it, but also on the other surface.
