Furniture is a big investment, so you should take care of it. You can keep your furniture from getting damaged and stained by using an old furniture piece in your home. Here are 10 ways to use an old piece of furniture to improve your decor.
1. Make an old bookshelf into a coffee table
· Remove all the drawers from the bottom shelf of the bookshelf and then remove all the nails from the bottom of the shelf.
· Remove all the nails from the top shelf of your bookshelf and then cut off two pieces of wood that will provide support for your table's legs, leaving them at least 1/4 inch thick on both sides.
· Cut two pieces of wood that are 4 inches longer than your tabletop and then attach them using glue and screws, making sure that they are level with each other and fit snugly against each other.
· Attach one end of each piece of wood onto one end of your table using glue and screws; this should be done only after you have added some padding underneath.
2. Update your chairs with new cushion covers and pillows
The cushion cover is the most important part of a chair. It protects the material from wear and tear, provides a soft surface for your body to rest on, and helps to maintain its shape. Over time, the fabric can become worn, torn, and stained from regular use. If you have an old chair, it might be time for an update.
3. Update your dining room table with a new fabric or art print
Update your dining room table with a new fabric or art print. If you want to keep it simple, try a plain white tablecloth. You can also go bold and choose a bright patterned tablecloth that adds color to the space. The key is to find something that will complement the rest of your home’s decor and look great for years to come.
4. Upgrade your old wall art and get a new canvas print
The best way to upgrade your old wall art and get a new canvas print is to buy it from an art gallery. When you buy from an art gallery, you will be able to choose from a variety of options. You can choose from a range of different sizes and styles, so you can find the perfect one for your walls.
Art galleries are also great for purchasing original artwork that is unique and you cannot find elsewhere. There are many types of art galleries that offer original prints for sale online as well. You can also consider getting a custom canvas print.
You can use old bathroom cabinets to store toiletries and other items in them instead of using plastic containers or plastic bags that often get left on the floor and then get tossed. You can also put them in a basket on the shelf of your bathroom cabinet. This will help keep your bathroom looking neat and clean.
6. Update your window seat with decorative throw pillows or cushions
Don't be afraid to add color. If you have a neutral-colored room, you can easily add color with pillows and throws in different shades of the same color. For example, pick a light blue or gray blanket that coordinates with your window seat and pair it with an aqua pillow or throw in the same shade.
Choose attractive patterns too. If you don't want to go all out with patterned pillows and throws, then choose something more subtle such as embroidery or fringe that blends into your room's decor without calling too much attention to itself.
7. Create a mirror frame by attaching mirrors to the sides of an old vanity cabinet or desktop
The idea is to create a mirror frame by attaching mirrors to the sides of an old vanity cabinet or desktop. I used this as a backdrop for my wedding pictures, and it worked out perfectly!
I wanted to create a mirror frame for my vanity cabinet that was not only functional but also attractive. I did this by attaching mirrors to the sides of an old desktop. The mirror is made out of glass, which is glued on using E6000 adhesive. It's held together with a wireframe and screws.
8. Hang pendant lights from the ceiling using hooks
There are many different types of hooks available for hanging light fixtures from the ceiling. You can use nails, screws and other materials to hold your pendant light in place. However, if you want to hang multiple lights from the ceiling, you will need different types of hooks for each fixture.
· Measure the distance between the fixture and the ceiling.
· Cut a piece of wire about 3 inches longer than this measurement and drill a hole at both ends of it in which to insert a screw or nail.
· Insert one end of your wire into one hole in each side of each hook and screw or nail into place until secure by tightening or loosening the screw with pliers if necessary.
You can use a night stand to make a lamp table, but it takes a bit more work. You'll need a piece of plywood that's at least as long and wide as your night stand, plus 1 inch of plywood on either side of that.
Use a jigsaw to cut the back of your night stand into two pieces that are about 2 inches shorter and wider than your plywood.
Sand down one side of the plywood so it's smooth and flat, then paint it black to match your night stand.
Cut out the shape of your new night table from the smaller piece of plywood with a jigsaw or power miter saw. If you want it to fit perfectly over your existing table, measure from under the edge of your table to make sure there's enough space for it to slide into place easily. This also gives you an idea how much room will be left over when you're done painting it.
You can glue the edges together by gluing them along each side and then flipping over onto itself until they're flush with each other on both sides, or you can nail them in place using galvanized nails or 3-inch finishing nails.
