Old new things: 5 reasons to write what others throw Bashny.Net

When old things get tired or lose their original appearance, they can throw away. This is the easiest way. But simple is not always correct. What to do with an old table, worn carpet, boring lamp and other seemingly useless stuff? Do not throw away! After all, there are some reasonable reasons to leave them at home.



Reason 1: the Color can be changed

If the item is outdated, it is often possible to understand it due to the color. Rather, its absence. Familiar with this situation? Carpet eventually fade, on the chest there are traces of the cat's claws, and above the white frame of the picture has faded and has acquired a yellowish tint. In that situation the thing does not lose as much it's just boring.

Tip: If it's in color, why not change it yourself? Just paint you dear thing, and she's in the same quality, but with a new look, will last a long time. If the interior is not monochromatic, can only upgrade items. For example, to paint the drawers. The table will be bright and eye-catching, but it will not look like the workplace of the child.



Tip: how Long have you been drawing? The transformation of furniture or decorative elements with paint— this is especially useful for adults art therapy. In my childhood almost all of us almost daily were holding a brush or colored pencil. Work hands are very useful for those who sits at a computer, and those who have the profession is the furthest away from creativity. To see firsthand the result of their work and have the opportunity to touch his hands — is very valuable, moreover, inspires and raises self-esteem.

You think that is bad drawing? Not scary! You have time to practice. Work out on paper, make sketches to understand what you like the combination of colors. By the way, the abstraction has not been canceled. Know how much are the paintings of Malevich?



Still skeptical about the painting? There is another way — buy the adhesive tape. Its outer side is colored, and the inside contains a glue layer. The principle of operation is the same as that of the regular stickers. Among the huge number of variants you can always choose the right: for example, imitation wood, the material with a fun print or just plain canvas. The film is very easy to clip into the appropriate format, and paste can be doors, chests (tested!) and much more. Besides, this is a budget option interior upgrades: we can, for example, thus brightening the lamp.

And don't forget the stickers for the interior! Old doors and furniture can become your canvas for experiments using stickers decor may continue on the walls and on the ceiling. A big plus — usually these stickers are easily peeled. Not work? Try again!



Reason 2: the material which can be replaced

That usually spoils the look of the furniture? Fray or faded upholstery. How to deal with it? Pull the fabric. Someone is doing it themselves (and they do), someone asks masters. The advantages of this approach: you can choose a modern print not overpaying for accompanying furniture. You understand that the furniture is trendy or popular colors will be expensive because of fashion and popularity?

Tip: the Only thing though: make sure that you are not going to give a new look outright junk. Even if this chair, which once sat under your favorite great-uncle, it's not worth it. Enjoy the convenience and reliability of furniture before you decide what to do with it.



The furniture is not worn and the carpet still attracts the eye, but for ten years fed up with the texture or color? Sew the covers. It is objectively easier than to change the very upholstery. In addition, then you will have two options for furniture clothes (winter and summer, everyday and festive, monochromatic and multi-colored). You can change them at own discretion and to wash in process of pollution.

Tip: do Not just stop at furniture. Think about what other items in the house can be updated by replacing one material to another. Maybe the seat of the chair? To make the tables transparent door, in order to spend less time on the search of points? Or, conversely, attach a couple of small doors to the racks to all of its internal space was on the mind?



Reason 3: the dimensions that you can change

Let's say you have a small table, moved from the old apartment. But the new room is rather small: for guests not enough space, and meals in the home the reception will not fit. What to do? Trim the legs, and here you have a beautiful table for the living room. Slightly changed the height of the piece, and what effect!

Even if you didn't plan to put in the living room table (very vain), think how it will look in the living room with him. Will be where to put cups, and a vase with flowers or fruit. Table suitable for home table games, which have long been in Vogue and are unlikely to come out of it soon.



Tip: to Change the sizes of many objects, including ordinary carpet. He happens to be wiped (usually unevenly). So cut him! And the residue can be turned into a bed for a cat or dog. From the old carpet you can make a decent rug in the hallway. You can lay under the rodent cage to sawdust not scattered throughout the house and lingered on the carpet.

 

A piece of old carpet will also help during the arrival of the plumber, who certainly will remove their shoes and will stagnate in your bathroom, but on the wrong pad and not on the floor. After that, a piece of carpet, if too lazy to clean or wash, you can just throw away. Already do not mind, and hardly to you so often go plumbing.

 

If the carpet is in decent condition but just tired, crop it, and lay on the balcony. In the warm spring and summer season, you will be able to get out for some fresh air barefoot. Yes, now you will have to vacuum and a balcony. But do you before it is not cleaned?



Reason 4: you can change the purpose of the object

A small portable ladder can be a great bedside table. It doesn't look bulky, and its contents clearly visible. Non-standard option for those who don't like to dig in the crates.

 

Tip: If you have Pets or small children who have access to the bedroom, then perhaps this is not the best option. But you can always give that frustrated the bedside table to the wolves during children's play. Believe me, little enthusiasts will figure out what to do with it: arrange there is Parking for cars or a multi-storey house for bears, for example.



To figure out what to do with the old lamp, too easy. The ceiling beautiful? I will make unique pots for plants. Not very nice? Then select plants thicker or whatever handmade, glue or other method will modify the pots. Lessons in manual labor, like painting, very relaxing — even if you have little what the result is.



What about old things? Those are old and aren't. Things, looking at that, I have no doubt that with them is not an interesting story. Of course, save them. But don't make them collect dust in the closet or in the country. Write them in the interior!

 

Old trunk or suitcase, for example, will be a great table for the living room. And inside you can store that rarely requires service on twelve persons, or say, the old binder magazines that throw a pity, and nowhere to go. Now there is.



Reason 5: you can just change things

Sometimes what you lack something in the house, it is an illusion — just things are not in their places. Let's say you have a chair that, in fact, useless. And the modest size of the hall just do not have enough small seats to comfortably tie the laces.

Or you change bed — and bedside table is no longer suitable. So send her to the balcony, put her favorite flower, and in the nightstand, keep it for fertilizer. A small table in the living room is clearly too much, but he is the Keeper of family history and throw it will not work? Put him in a passing zone, and it — anything from flower arrangements to the cage with the Canaries.

Meaning, I think, is clear: sometimes even a small rearrangement contributes to a pleasant change.



Tip: Before parting with the thing forever, think about what you can do with it? Maybe she just is not in place? Or it lacks a bit of paint? Ask yourself, how can it still be used? If the budget allows to conduct experiments and there is no time, leave the job to professionals. The only thing you lose is engaging the work performed and the right to speak to the guests: "Yes, I have updated this chair. It's not difficult.

 

P. S. And remember, only by changing their consumption — together we change the world! ©
