Let’s take a look at a few possibilities

Transform

Did you know you can turn your old chairs into flower pots?

You can also replace the drawers of a given piece of furniture and turn them into a modern and original item. Maybe paint each drawer a different color? To renew your old chest of drawers, you can remove the drawers and use the free space to store valuables in wicker baskets.

Decorate

Here are some ideas for decorating your furniture:

• Cover the low table with padded materials. This way you can use it as a footrest.

• Decorate the furniture with wallpaper.
• Polish old furniture to restore its shine.
• Sand some parts of your furniture for a vintage touch.

Show your art

You can also carve in your antique furniture. However, to get down to it, remember that you need to use the right tools for it and the furniture must be of high quality (otherwise it might look a bit sloppy).

Paint

You can go a step further and paint your furniture to turn it into works of art. Paint your antique furniture by creating geometric shapes or patterns that you can copy using stencils. Repaint the chair legs for a modern look – or use strong and bold colors on furniture to make them the center of attention.

You can also use paint that produces a blackboard effect. If you have children, they will be able to draw on them, which will help them develop their creativity. After painting, remember to varnish and stain the furniture so that the paint lasts longer.
