Not everyone can always afford new furniture; after all, good quality items can be expensive to buy. But just because you can’t afford to buy brand new or keep up with the newest and latest trends doesn’t mean you can’t have nice things or you need to compromise on quality.

What you need to do is to get creative with how you use what you do have or can afford to buy to help you make your own and create a wonderful perusal and unique home for your budget.

These tips can help you to do just that.

Upcycle/Hacks

Upcycling is all the rage right now for good reason. Upcycling allows you to update old items and make them look brand new again or repurpose them into something else. This can be trying your hand at some of the IKEA hacks sweeping social media right now. Strpping and revarnishing or repairing old furniture you have or have found at thrift stores or garage sales, or reupholstering your sofa.

The key to upcycling is to take your time, do your homework, and do the prep work to get the finish you want. Start small, then work your way up to bigger tasks based on your capabilities.

Cover It Up

A good fix for both long-term and short-term solutions is to use the material to cover up any items you aren’t able to fix or you don’t like. Round Linen Tablecloths are perfect for dressing up round dining tables and making them a statement piece for all the right reasons, while throws and sofa covers can do the same for your sofas and chairs.

Plus, items like tablecloths and furniture covers can help you avoid any damage to the item while making it look good at the same time.

Use Wallpaper or Vinyl Adhesive

Vinyl adhesive is an excellent way to revive furniture or even countertops. You can cover the surface with a sticky covering to give it a fresh new look or hide imperfections. Let’s say you have a white coffee table that has a few marks and scratches; using white vinyl plastic to cover it can be a fast and cost-effective way to help you make it look good again without having to strip it or buy a new one.

Covering items with wallpaper can work the same way, too. Not all surfaces or household items will be suitable for this option, but adding wallpaper on cabinet doors on a sideboard, for example, can work well and create a talking point by giving your home something unique. 

Swap Out The Legs

Or even add some legs to furniture. You can swap out legs on your sofa if it has them, units, sideboards, coffee tables, or any piece of furniture in your home. Change from wooden to metal legs, and change the style, height, or even color to help you revive something so it looks good and fits your aesthetic. Typically, this works well if you’re upcycling an item or varnish for painting it, but it will also work well on its own, especially if you update any hardware to match, too. A quick and easy facelift for little outlay and effort.
