Some of them get inspiration from television shows and take on a mission to refurnish their furnishings without a second thought – just like that.

So to help you restore the good quality in your tumbledown furniture with systematic approach, we have mentioned certain steps here.

Think before you initiate

Before you work on your furniture yourself, find out its true value. Don’t remove labels as it will lead you to its origin and type of material used. It will tell you how much it is worth. Then have a word with a furniture restoration professional and follow their guideline.

Get it clean

Your old furniture might have collected a lot of dirt and grime through years of use. It is hidden right there in those obscure corners and at the edges. Run a sponge with some soap and warm water to clean it and reveal its polished side.

Repairing and painting

Repair all the damaged parts or old pieces of your furniture to make it reusable. If it is big loss like broken hands or damaged legs, you should seek replacement with the help of expert professional. If your furniture has gone dull and needs some finest touch of colours, use a suitable polish colour to make it shine again.
