#39 A great way to upcycle
It’s falling into the trap of thinking that once something starts to look old or outdated. It’s time to throw it out and start again. However, this is not always necessary. With a bit of creativity and effort, you can give your old furniture a new lease on life. This is where upcycling comes in handy, providing a sustainable and cost-effective way to refresh and update your living space.
The photo above is an excellent example of upcycling an old and tired TV bench from Ikea. Instead of throwing it away, the owner removed the handles, put them on a sharpened board, and added a wooden panel identical to the one on the floor on the top surface. It results in a fresh and modern transformation. This shows that with a little bit of imagination and effort, even the most dated and stale furniture can have a transformation into something new and exciting. Plus, not only is upcycling good for the environment. However it’s also a good way to save money and express your creativity. So, the next time your Ikea furniture starts to look stale or outdated, don’t throw it out just yet. Instead, think about how you can upcycle it.
