8 INSPIRED IDEAS TO MAKEOVER YOUR FURNITURE

Lauren Graham

It's time to get creative and give those old pieces of furniture a modern makeover that will add charm and character to your home. We have a few furniture ideas to help inspire your next makeover, take a look:

1. THE DRAMATIC KITCHEN STOOL

Add colour and texture to your kitchen by recovering your stools with a plush velvet using collection Velour. Velvet is a big trend for 2017 and we love how this small change adds a little dramatic flair to this kitchen.

2. GET COMFY IN STYLE

If you have an old wingback chair that needs sprucing up then consider an eye-catching colour combination. If you're feeling daring, complete the look by finishing off wooden legs in a bright accent colour.

3. HELLO HEADBOARDS!

An upholstered headboard adds some plush luxury to the bedroom. If you feel like yours needs to be freshened up, now is the perfect time. Whether you want to be bold or more subdued, your colour and texture options are numerous with so many exquisite upholstery fabrics available. We like the fresh look of this neutral option:

4. SITTING PRETTY

Who said dining room chairs need to be boring? Give your dining room chairs a modern makeover with mixed prints. Collection Nomad has a great selection of designs on a gorgeous linen base that would be perfect for this application!

5. LET'S GET FLORAL

Give an old piece of furniture a new lease on life with a quick reupholstery job. This chair got a stylish makeover with a recover and a shabby-chic paint job. Collection Country House has just the designs you need to get this look spot on.

6. SIMPLE GEOMETRICS

Why not update your curtains in a bold geometric print? It's the quickest way to add some interest and warmth to a cold looking room that lacks interest. Although tempting, neutral curtains against a neutral paint colour can make a room look "bare", so step outside of your comfort zone and get bold with some printed drapes.

7. A SOFT TOUCH

Industrial-inspired furniture is trending in a big way, and whilst we love the look of the clean modern lines edgy materials, you need to be sure not to skimp on comfort, particularly on dining chairs, where guests are expected to sit for longer periods of time.These industrial style dining room chairs were given a simple makeover with the addition of a comfy upholstered cushion. Something plain and neutral will work with any decor scheme.

8. FINE DINING!

These dining room chairs got a sophisticated makeover by combining the luxurious designs of collection Cosmopolitan with a plain fabric from collection Spectrum. We love this idea for adding visual interest, reserving a more delicate, expensive upholstery for the outer section, while using something a little more practical for the seat cushion that sees most of the action.
