Making Old Furniture New Again (341 words)

Do you feel like your old furniture doesn’t necessarily fit your new home? Do you want new furniture without having to spend a lot of money? If so, Southern Coastal Homes has a few helpful tips for sprucing up old pieces of furniture at a low price! Refurbishing old pieces of furniture is a popular activity these days, and it’s relatively simple to do. New hardware and a fresh coat of paint can completely transform an old dresser into a modern, expensive-looking piece of furniture. For a classy or chic design, you could use a unique wallpaper to give the dresser drawers an exciting pop. Bohemian-style wooden pallet beds are cheap and incredibly easy to put together, and they look adorable with fairy lights in a young girl’s bedroom. Painted mason jars and twine can be used to make beautiful, farmhouse-style flowerpots that are perfect for filling in space on empty bookshelves. New wall art and throw pillows are also great and effortless ways to freshen up a space. Color combinations can make old furniture seem new, especially when the mood they create is totally different from before. Earthy tones like beige, green, blue, and brown create a warm and calming atmosphere that would be perfect for a master bedroom. If you want to make a room feel new, switching up the color pallet is a very easy way to go about it—and you don’t even have to get new furniture. Bright colors like yellow, red, and orange create an energy that is great for a space with heavy socialization or activity, like a kitchen or dining room! Bright red pots or cookie jars would be a subtle way to give a kitchen this kind of energy. Subtlety is key when adding little decorations to a space, so there’s no need to go overboard. A little bit can go a long way when freshening up your new living space. We at Southern Coastal Homes love helping our homeowners make their dream home a reality, from the roof to the rugs!
