Upcycling gives a new, modern lease of life to old, dated furniture. Whether it’s adding a personal touch to your current table or starting from a bit of old wood found in the garden, upcycling is the new in thing!
From the small details such as a lick of paint or some new table legs to starting completely from scratch, anyone can do it. Upcycling is about using your imagination – the possibilities are endless.
How To:
- You could give a whole new cool Art Deco vibe to your living space using chalk paint in different shades and geometric patterns.

- Again, using paint why not create a fun, toy friendly space? Let the imagination of your little ones run wild. You could even create a writeable-erasable chalkboard surface to allow unlimited possibilities – one day a racetrack the next a fair kingdom who knows?

- For a funkier approach you could have an animal print centre piece to your living area. You could do this with a sticky back vinyl or for a more homemade feel you could turn it into a decoupage project and get the whole family involved.

- Or if you already love your space but just simply fancy a change why not swap out the legs? Here a customer of ours has used some of our hairpin legs to create a lovely retro feel into the home. Here Andrew has turned an old drawer into a fab little side table.
