What to make from old Soviet furniture

You can’t argue with the fact that Soviet furniture is of high quality. This is what has helped her survive to this day, because many people at home or in their country houses still have chests of drawers, nightstands, beds and chairs from their great-grandmothers. The item has been preserved, but it no longer fits into the modern interior, and some items have become completely unusable. In order not to throw away old furniture, but to give it a new life, we offer a selection of interesting alterations.

Simple Renovation Ideas

Some things can not be converted into new ones, but simply restored and used with the same functions. Here you can use:

• paint;
• decoupage technique;
• textile;
• various stickers;
• varnish;
• burning;
• embroidery and much more.

Use all the crafting techniques you know to breathe new life into old Soviet furniture. We offer examples for inspiration.

On a note! Absolutely any handicraft technique, and even paper crafts, are suitable for updating furniture.

So, with the help of black paint, varnish and upholstery, you can make a new thing out of an old chair that will fit perfectly into the Baroque style or even modern classics.

The same story can be done with a chair.

Varnish, paint and decoupage techniques can update not only chairs, but also a table, and even a chest of drawers.

With paint and a few small additions, you can turn an old cabinet into a great children's shelving unit.

Having repainted the table and replaced the drawers in it, we get a new beautiful and functional thing.

Interesting conversions from old furniture

Painting or decorating a well-preserved item so that you can continue to use it is a great idea. But what if the furniture can no longer perform its usual functions? Then we suggest giving old furniture life in a new role.

A chest of drawers, for example, would make an excellent children's kitchen.

An old bed makes a great garden bench.

By dividing the table with drawers, we get bright bedside tables.

Old chests of drawers and cabinets make excellent banquettes.

An old chest of drawers or even a sewing machine can be turned into a vanity cabinet.

Of course, ideas submitted later will require more time, effort and diligence. But in skillful hands, any old furniture can turn into a new, beautiful and functional item. And we will inspire you to create masterpieces!
