Add a fresh coat of paint

The easiest, and perhaps cheapest, way to update any of your old furniture is to paint it.

Change the handles

Head to your local hardware store and pick out a few modern knobs or drawer pulls.

You can make almost any piece of your furniture looks more expensive with this quick update.

Attach legs

Give your furniture a lift by attaching legs to the base. It may seem weird that attaching feet will make a furniture piece seem more expensive and authentic, but you’ll be surprised by the final product.

Just like your unlimited selection of knobs, there are just as many styles of feet for your choosing.

Pop in some bold color

If your overall color scheme consists of neutral colors or black and whites, then perhaps painting your coffee table or kitchen island a bold color would be a good option for you. The pop of color would add a lot to your home.

Re-upholster old furniture
