Easy and Cheap Ways to Make Your Furniture Look More Expensive
Finding elegant furniture can make your home beautiful, but it can also come with a hefty price tag. One of the things that differentiates more expensive furniture are the subtle details, but fortunately, there are ways you can achieve those stylistic details without having to shell out a ton of money. In fact, you can find ways to change the look of your existing furniture, so you don’t have to buy new furniture at all.
Here are some great tips for how you can make your existing furniture look more expensive:
- Add crown molding to the top of your bookshelf for added design.
- Replace cheap hardware with elegant looking pieces like glass handles or brass casters.
- Install something metallic on a plain table like a brass corner or a golden foot on each leg.
- Change the color of the back walls on your open shelves. Use a cool wallpaper design or paint it with a pop of color to add a fun contrast against the furniture’s original color.
- Apply marble contact paper to the top of a plastic-surfaced table to create a more high-end finish.
- Repaint your furniture. Check out new color trends and use spray paint to repaint.
- Add elegant accents to your plain drawers or tables. Look for trendy and classic decor pieces that you can use to accentuate the design of your table.
- Create a different function for your old furniture like turning your table into a bar cart.
- Paint with two tones. Instead of painting in a plain, monotone color, you can shake it up. For example, paint the upper part of your furniture with one color and the lower part with a different color.
- Recover your old chairs with new fabric. It’s amazing what a noticeable transformation it causes.
- Add throw pillows. They can bring a pop of color or a dash of a new pattern to your existing sofas and chairs. They revitalize the furniture for a fraction of the price.
