You can totally turn worn-out clothes into chic, modern statement pieces with a little imagination (and a modest expense). these budget-friendly ways to give old furniture a new look will help you save money while adding charm to your space.
Apply a New Layer of Paint on It
Paint is one of the simplest and least expensive ways to refurbish furniture.Use vibrant colors to make a statement or stick to classic neutrals.Chalk paint has a matte, vintage appearance and frequently doesn’t need to be sanded.
Wood surfaces can be stained or refinished.
If the underside of your furniture is solid wood, you might choose to remove the previous finish and apply a fresh wood stain.
For a striking, contemporary style, go darker.
For a farmhouse, rustic look, try graywashing or whitewashing.
For a gentle gloss and protection, use natural oils such as tung or linseed oil.
Install New Hardware
A piece can be immediately updated by replacing worn-out handles, pulls, or knobs.
Mix metal finishes for a modern eclectic look (e.g., matte black or brushed gold).
Vintage or ceramic knobs add personality to dressers and nightstands.
Use peel-and-stick wallpaper or contact paper to decorate.
Do you want to create texture or pattern on a tight budget? Shelves, tabletops, and drawer fronts can all be updated with decorative contact paper or peel-and-stick wallpaper.
Try wood textures, geometric designs, or imitation marble.
