Who doesn’t imagine upgrading your interior design, wishing you could change it every once in a while or whenever you feel like to? It would be living the dream if only we aren’t tight on the budget.
For most of us, it’s unlikely that we have the extra money for some furniture-shopping spree every payday. It’s also likely that you only get to buy one when a furniture item is already beyond repair and even with that, you still tend to keep the cost to a minimum by buying one that’s on the cheaper side.
There’s nothing wrong with buying economical furniture—not when there are several online furniture shops that can give you the same quality of furniture but for a much more affordable price and more importantly, when there are these 5 budget tips to upgrade your home furniture:
1. Paint: Nothing gives new life to old furniture better than a fresh coat of paint. Small furniture items such as coffee tables, chairs, and other accessories make a great repainting project. One tip though, make sure to paint them with matching or complementing finish for a cohesive look.
• Gold Spray Paint: For a touch of class and elegance, on the other hand, you can also spray paint any metal part of your furniture such as the handles and legs with gold. This trick is cheap but is guaranteed to make anything look grand!
2. Slipcover: A slipcover is another cheap way to upgrade a couch. An added benefit is that it can also conceal any permanent stains or damages in your furniture that compromises the overall look of your living room. Complete the rest of the look by adding throws and blankets that match your slipcover.
3. Contact Paper: Contact paper is cheap, waterproof, and available in many different patterns. Some even mimic the look of natural stones like marble and can instantly transform any cheap furniture item into something that looks luxe.
4. Updated Furniture Legs: Short and plastic furniture legs have this distinct cheap look. Swap them out with long, tapered legs instead to easily make your furniture look high-end. Whether you replace them with wood or metal ones, the results will equally look expensive.
5. Reupholstered Furniture: Recovering your furniture by reupholstering is probably the most significant change you can make. Once you start, you’ll probably start thinking that every living room furniture in your home can do with some reupholstering!
