Want to redecorate your home but don't have a big budget for new furniture? Do you have an old table that you can't get rid of because it's a family heirloom from your grandmother? Did you abandon a dresser in the garage some time ago and don't know what to do with it?
Open GaleriaMobila Old furniture is not a burden, at least if you decide to refurbish it. Reusing them under a new "face" will help you redecorate spectacularly on a small budget, you just need a little imagination and dexterity. Furniture refurbishment is a laborious process, carried out in several stages that require patience and skill.
But there is a solution for those who can take their old furniture to a specialized refurbishment company.
First of all, you need to make a small assessment of the furniture, the degree of deterioration for any repairs. The next step is cleaning and preparing the surface for painting. Remove drawers or shelves to make your work easier. Sanding the surface aims to remove the old paint and can be done most easily with an electric sander.
If you don't have one, use sandpaper along with a solution of water and baking soda. After removing the paint, smooth the surface very well with a cotton cloth.
Before starting painting, cover the surface with a primer specially designed for wood. This helps the wood resist decay, mold formation, cavity appearance and termites. Now you can start painting. It is usually done in two coats, with intervals of about two hours between them.
If you don't reach the desired shade after the first two coats, you can apply a third one.
Furniture refurbishment is not limited to applying a new coat of paint. If you are skilled and have the necessary tools, you can bring an old chair back to life by changing the upholstery, or completely change the look of a sofa with a new cover.
Furthermore, wooden furniture can be unique and impressive with a hand-painted design made with special wood paint.
