And with a blink of an eye, the summer holidays have come to an end. I can hear huge sighs of relief from you all as routine and normality return once more to your households; especially if your children have returned to school. I hope you’ve had an enjoyable one and if you’ve been away, welcome back!!
Furniture Wrap – An Affordable, Quick & Easy Way to Update Your Furniture
I’m always in awe of those who can transform pieces of furniture with their artistic capabilities. Whether it’s up-cycling or completely reinventing pieces of furniture, it’s a wonderful skill to have. Sadly a skill that I’m profoundly lacking in and, of course, like most of us, time can often be an issue. Although, if I’m being completely honest, I can be incredibly a tad impatient and from past experiences, my attempts haven’t been that great. (You can see my failed attempt at a furniture makeover on a budget at the end of this post of inherited blue storage units in my home office……… just promise not to laugh/cringe too much!
Since then, any thoughts of up-cycling have become but a fleeting thought. I’m sure I’m not alone on this one, but fear not, I might have found a solution for us wannabe furniture renovators and decorators. Yay!!

REASONS TO GET WRAPPING
In case you need a reason to get sticking and impress those you love with your new-found furniture makeovers, I’ve put a little list of reasons why you might want to consider this fun Furniture Wrap, not that you’ll probably need one.
INHERITED FURNITURE
There will a whole host of reasons for wanting to update your furniture without having to splurge the cash. It could be that you’ve inherited your Great Aunt Molly’s sideboard, and as much as you loved her, no matter what angle you look at it, it’s not going to fit in with your modern home. Furniture Wrap may just be what you’re looking for.
STARTING OUT
Starting out making a home can be a costly affair and you may have had to buy secondhand, been given or loaned furniture. It’s easy to transform them and create a happening piece rather than be left wanting new.
ON A BUDGET
Giving your furniture a makeover is a much cheaper option than buying new and you’ll be giving yourself a huge pat on the back for your new-found skill. Prices start from just £24.99.
KITCHEN MAKEOVERS
Kitchen units are costly affairs to replace so giving them a new lease of life will definitely save you a few bob until you can afford to update them in the future and get your dream kitchen.
You could even give your fridge a new look.
RENTING
With so many of us having no choice but to rent long-term, the restrictions on what you can and can’t do can leave you feeling a little blue. With Furniture wrap, you’ve got the ability to update those cupboards in an instant and as it’s easily removed, you’ll have no long-term repercussions.
TIE IN EXISTING FURNITURE TO A NEW DESIGN SCHEME
You may have given your room a bit of a makeover and your current furniture doesn’t quite fit in. Walpus have a range of patterns and colours to choose from so you can instantly tie in your furniture to your new design scheme.
ADD SOME INTEREST
Furniture Wrap is a great way to introduce some pattern into your homes which will automatically add interest. Scared of pattern? You may want to check out my previous post on Your Guide On Using Pattern In Your Home
CHILDREN’S BEDROOMS/PLAYROOMS
Not forgetting the little ones, Walpus have included some children’s Furniture Wrap so you can easily update those boring white units in your kid’s bedrooms/playroom. When they get bored or grow out of their current decor, you can easily replace and update with a new wrap to something more appropriate.
GET CREATIVE
Why not experiment. You’re only limited by your own creativity. You could mix and match Furniture Wraps to create different looks.
HELP THE ENVIRONMENT
Updating existing furniture is a great way to help our environment. We are too quick to throw away and replace scuffed or marked furniture. Using Furniture Wrap can give your furniture a second life and that’s got to be a good thing, right?

And finally, the moment you’ve been waiting for (if you didn’t scroll down already), my awful attempt at updating my inherited office storage units, covers eyes and groans………..
BEFORE…..
Inherited blue storage units. It was my youngest’s sons old bedroom which became my home office.
AFTER
From Washi taped edges….. I know, I know it’s awful!!
To sticky backed plastic white doors. Seriously, what was I thinking!!! Luckily my desk faces the opposite wall so I don’t have to look at it, but I WILL be updating this room very soon and will keep you posted. Now, which Furniture Wrap should I choose…….
So what do we think? Are we aspiring furniture upcyclers? It’d be great to hear from you.
Until next time, thanks for stopping by!
