People are often adamant in buying new stuff during the beginning of the new year. Having new stuff to welcome the new year seems means that you are willing to give everything a brand new start; to whisk away the negativity that came from the year before.

Your furniture has seen it all: that one time when your guest spilled wine onto your sofa, that one time when your kid almost broke the table. It’s easy why furniture is always a target for a new year renovation. But buying new furniture is very costly and no one wants a broke wallet during the new year.
Fortunately, there are ways in which you can make your furniture look new and expensive for 2017. Below are some creative ways into revamping your furniture – without breaking the bank.

Add a brand new shine to your old wood furniture by staining them. Choose staining over painting because the former can give your furniture a much needed lush that it already lack.
Reupholster
Tired of the look of your sofa or those cushion chairs that you used to love so much? Why not reupholster them? It takes major effort but it’s worth it in the end. Having a professional reupholster your sofa is actually cheaper than buying a new set.
Paint for fab
Painting is the basic action one can do to take their furniture to the next level. The easiest way to update any furniture is to paint in bold colors. For metallic tables, opt for a coat of gold for a much needed sophistication. Another way to revamp your furniture is to paint the outlines or the border into the contrast color of the original shade.
