If your furniture is old and outdated, you might assume that you are going to have to replace it in order to get the look that you want. However, there are steps that you can take, such as buying new seat cushions, which can help you bring your old furniture up to date. These are a few steps that you can follow to modernize your pieces.
Clean it Up
First of all, cleaning up your old furniture can have impressive results. Different types of furniture should be cleaned with different products, so make sure that you are using the right product for your piece. Using a toothbrush can help you do a more thorough cleaning of the nooks and crannies of your furniture.
Add Paint or Stain
Sometimes, all you need to do to upgrade a piece is to paint it or add stain. In general, you’ll want to do this before a cushion replacement or upholstery change, since you’ll want to avoid getting paint or stain on your new upholstery. Take your time, and make sure that you use both a good primer and a good sealant so that the new finish looks good for a long time to come.
Replace Hardware
If the hardware on your furniture is starting to look old and worn out, adding a new piece can be a great way to upgrade it according to The Foam Factory. For example, adding new hardware to cabinets or drawers can be a fast and affordable way to make them look great.
Add New Upholstery
For upholstered furniture, using cushion filling to fluff the furniture back up and adding new cushions can be a wonderful way to make the furniture look like new again. Plus, you can choose a modern color or style to really brighten up the piece — and your home’s decor.
