Upcycling of Furniture & Furnishings
When it comes to furniture and furnishings, upcycling through KandA Interiors can repurpose and give new life to old pieces that may otherwise be thrown away or left unused.
We can upcycle old, unused, or discarded items into new and improved products of higher quality or value.
Furniture can be expensive, but that doesn’t mean you need to constantly buy new items. KandA Interiors can upcycle old or unused furniture and turn them into unique, personalised pieces.
Some popular upcycling techniques for furniture and furnishings include painting, reupholstering, and adding new hardware or decorative elements. With a little bit of creativity, KandA Interiors can transform old, worn-out pieces into beautiful and functional additions to your home.
Upcycling furniture and furnishings can be a fun and creative way to breathe new life into your home décor.
Ways to Upstyle your Furniture
Painting
Painting is one of the most popular ways to upcycle furniture. It’s an easy way to transform a piece and give it a new lease on life. Choose a paint colour that matches your decor and we apply two to three coats, allowing each coat to dry fully before applying the next.
Staining
Staining is a popular way to upcycle furniture, especially if you want to achieve a natural, rustic look. It involves applying a thin layer of stain to the surface of the furniture to change its colour and enhance the natural grain of the wood.
Distressing
Distressing is a technique that gives furniture a vintage, weathered look. It involves intentionally damaging the surface of the furniture to create the appearance of wear and tear. Distressing your furniture is a great way to add character and charm to your decor. It works best on furniture with a simple design.
Decoupage
Decoupage is a technique that involves gluing paper or fabric onto a surface and then sealing it with a clear topcoat. With a little bit of patience and creativity, we can transform your furniture into a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your personal style.
Reupholstering
Reupholstering involves replacing the fabric on your furniture to give it a fresh, updated look. It can be a bit more involved than some of the other upcycling techniques do, but it’s also one of the most dramatic transformations you can make.
Adding Legs or Feet
Adding legs or feet to your furniture can be a simple and inexpensive way to give it a new look and make it more functional. With our expertise and imagination, we can transform your furniture into a beautiful and unique piece that you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Creating a Headboard
Creating a headboard is a great way to add a personal touch to your bedroom decor. With our skills and the right materials, we can create a beautiful and functional headboard that you can enjoy for many years.
Creating Shelving
Creating shelving is a simple and cost-effective way to add storage and organisation to any room in your home. We can create beautiful and functional shelves that will help keep your space tidy and organised.
