Refurbishing your old furniture can save you money and it's not as difficult as you might think! In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps of refurbishing a table. So, whether you're looking to update your restaurant or spruce up your patio seating area, read on for all the info you need.
Refurbishing your wooden tables
To refurbish a wood table, you will need:
Sandpaper
Paint or varnish
A paintbrush or roller
Cleaning supplies
Primer
The first step is to clean and sand down the surface of the table. This will help to create a smooth base for the new paint or varnish. Once you've sanded down the surface, you can choose to paint or varnish it. If you're painting it, be sure to use a primer first to help the paint stick better. Once the paint or varnish has dried, you can apply a final coat for extra protection.

Refurbishing outdoor furniture
If you're refurbishing outdoor furniture, the process is a bit different, so you may need to adjust the steps you take depending on the furniture material. For one thing, you'll need to make sure that the furniture is weatherproof before applying any new finishes. You can do this by coating it with a waterproof sealant or spray paint. Once the sealant or paint has dried, you can then start painting or varnishing it as normal. Just be sure to use outdoor-friendly paint or varnish, so that it can withstand the elements.

Whether you're looking to save money or just want to give your furniture a new lease of life, this is a great option that also has the advantage of being eco-friendly.
