For some furniture fans, building a characterful home means hunting down design icons by renowned furniture makers. For others, it\u2019s all about investing in time-honoured antiques. And for more and more people, it\u2019s about finding \u2013 or creating \u2013 one-of-a-kind <\/span>upcycled furniture<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Vinterior, we\u2019re celebrating all that upcycling is this Black Friday weekend and shunning the sameness for something truly unique. To upcycle a piece takes time, creativity, and ingenuity. Far from giving an old chest of drawers a fresh coat of paint, upcyclers go above and beyond by completely restoring a piece or giving it a whole new look. That\u2019s why <\/span>we chatted with some of our sellers<\/span><\/a> who craft exceptionally upcycled pieces and learnt some top tips on how to upcycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in need of some upcycling ideas and you\u2019re after some Vinspiration, explore our guide on what upcycling is and how to do it below.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is upcycling?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Technically put, upcycling is the process of transforming unwanted or waste products into something useful and of higher quality. But that definition is a little dry for us. To us, upcycling means giving pre-owned furniture a new lease of life in the most characterful way. Not only is upcycled furniture a demonstration of artistic creativity, but it\u2019s also a sustainable way to give your furniture more environmental value.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is upcycling important?<\/b><\/h2>\n

We live in a throwaway culture \u2013 one that\u2019s supported by Black Friday discounts \u2013 but there are so many characterful pieces of furniture in the world that we don\u2019t need to throw away perfectly good items. Upcycling gives us the opportunity to reimagine what we already own, or a piece of pre-owned furniture, and give it a new lease of life. On restoring furniture, Stacey Wall of <\/span>House of Twenty<\/span><\/a> says, <\/span>\u201cIt is great to preserve it and or give the pieces a new lease of life as it would be such a shame for these pieces to be discarded.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How to choose a piece of furniture to upcycle<\/b><\/h2>\n

For your first-time upcycle, it\u2019s a good idea to choose a simple piece of furniture for your project. A <\/span>pine bench<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>rustic side table<\/span><\/a> are good choices as they don\u2019t have drawers, doors, and interior spaces to work with. As your upcycling confidence grows, you might work up to a sideboard upcycle on a <\/span>mid-century piece<\/span><\/a> or even go really bold and work on an <\/span>armoire<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find that the piece you choose has a story to tell as you work on it too. Dom Chadwick of <\/span>No Repro<\/span><\/a> says it\u2019s,<\/span> \u201cThe rediscovery of forgotten, obscured beauty from a worn, tired object\u201d<\/span><\/i> that he loves most. Finally, the main thing to remember when choosing a piece to upcycle is to pick something you love, as you\u2019ll hopefully be living with it for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to upcycle furniture at home<\/b><\/h2>\n

Essentially, upcycling furniture is all about having fun and getting creative. But if you want to get your finished piece just right, there are some steps to follow to ensure upcycling success.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Prep your piece of furniture<\/b><\/h3>\n

Pre-owned furniture sometimes needs a little TLC before it\u2019s upcycled. Start by wiping down the piece with a warm damp cloth. Then sand away the top layer of varnish or paint, if there is one, with sandpaper to create a smooth surface. This will also help buff out any minor imperfections or scratches. If you\u2019ll be painting your piece, give it a coat of primer before you start to get a perfect finish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Decide on your design before you start<\/b><\/h3>\n

Giving yourself a guide and deciding on the design before you start will make the process easier and more enjoyable. If you\u2019re planning an elaborate design \u2013 one inspired by your favourite piece of art perhaps \u2013 it\u2019s a good idea to sketch out your idea onto your piece of furniture in pencil first. That way you can reduce the chance of error when you\u2019re painting or varnishing your upcycled furniture later.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose the right tools and materials<\/b><\/h3>\n

Get your tools, pens, and paints organised before you start your project. The last thing you want is to be midway through upcycling a pine chest of drawers to have to run to a hardware shop because you\u2019re missing something essential. Plan a list of tools and materials ahead of time and do a quick check before you start upcycling.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have fun and be creative<\/b><\/h3>\n

Upcycling is your chance to let your inner artist free. In fact, one of the things our sellers love most about upcycling furniture is that it allows them to be creative. Sallie Belton of <\/span>Belton & Butler<\/span><\/a> says, <\/span>\u201cNo matter how many pieces we restyle, we always get a wave of excitement when we look at before and after photos\u2026<\/span><\/i>We enjoy the creative journey – a lot goes into deciding the design for a piece.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

So get out there, get creative, and enjoy bringing a piece of furniture you love back to life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Why we\u2019re supporting upcycling<\/b><\/h2>\n

We believe that all furniture has value and heavy discounting devalues the quality and character of every piece. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve shunned the traditional Black Friday messaging to highlight upcycling. Giving old furniture a new lease of life by upcycling has never been more important for the planet. Building a characterful and sustainable home is all about finding one-of-a-kind pieces you love. That\u2019s why we\u2019re celebrating Upcycled Weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, join us in shunning the status quo and find exceptionally <\/span>upcycled furniture<\/span><\/a> at Vinterior.<\/span><\/p>\n
