Take Your Plain Furniture And Make Them Hit

Take your plain furniture and make them hit above their price tag in the looks department.

Metallic paint

This is by far the easiest way to up the luxury factor when it comes to your dull coloured furniture. It takes an afternoon’s worth of time and doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket. That said, don’t just stick with solid coloured paint; go the extra mile to get your hands on the metallic variety. A subtle metallic gold can result in an almost copper-like sheen which instantly makes a coffee table or console look expensive.

Dropping layers

In the case of plain and boring sofas, reupholstering can be a significant undertaking. If you prefer the path of least resistance, it’s time to layer up! Start small with velvet cushions in a variety of colours, then add on a nice woollen throw to finish it off. You can also throw in some textures and patterns, but keep them restrained to not make it gaudy.
