Transforming an old piece of furniture into a new favourite is one of the most satisfying projects a DIY enthusiast can tackle. With these easy tips from
British Paints, a worn-down chair or chest of drawers will look as good as new in no time!
CHOOSING YOUR PROJECT
From a chest of drawers to a desk or chair, you’ll be able to upcycle any piece of furniture if you’ve completed your preparation properly. The same can be said for wood, with all types working well for upcycling projects once the right prep has been completed.
If you’re still feeling unsure, start with a smaller piece to make your project quicker and give you a chance to get familiar with new techniques like sanding and painting.
COLOUR TRENDS
When selecting a paint colour for your upcycling project, it’s important to think about your home’s overall colour scheme, as well as the look and feel you hope to create with your new furniture piece.
