repurpose used furniture

SSENSE GLOBAL

Did you know the eco-friendly furniture space was worth $43.26 billion in 2022? Grand View Research says it could grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.6% from 2022 to 2030.

According to the research firm, increasing consumer awareness about sustainability and the increasing incorporation of eco-friendly raw materials in furniture will likely grow the market.

Whether you’re moving to a new house and want to get new furniture or remodeling your home and wish to complete the look with new furniture, you might want sustainable options. While you can get furniture made from sustainable products like bamboo, you can also get furniture in an eco-friendly manner by repurposing second-hand or vintage furniture.

Continue reading for tips on finding used furniture you can repurpose and use in your home.

  1. Ask People You Know

If you’re looking for used or vintage furniture for your home, you can start by checking with people in your circle of influence. Do you have family, friends, neighbors, or co-workers whose sense of style mirrors or is compatible with your own? Sometimes people want to get rid of furniture to switch things up. In such cases, you can get gently used sofas, coffee tables, bookshelves, bedroom sets, and more for a bargain basement price.

Repurposing used furniture is great for the environment, wallet, and home. If you’ve been looking for the perfect sofa set, your best bet might be to purchase it from someone you know. It can be a great fit aesthetically for your home — and you’ll be doing the right thing as an environmental steward.

  1. Go Online

The global off-the-shelf user furniture market was worth $29.8 billion in 2021 and could grow to $58.58 billion by 2030. That would translate into a compound annual growth rate of 7.8% between 2022 and 2030. If you want to pick up some used furniture for your home, one option is to look online. Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, eBay, and other online marketplaces are available. If you’re not against doing some traveling, you’ll open up more possibilities. Perhaps someone has the perfect vintage end tables for your living room or den. You can hook up a trailer to your vehicle, travel to the location, load up your find, and drive it back home.

  1. Check Out Thrift Shops

Another way to get the stylish second-hand furniture you want is to visit thrift shops. You never know what you’ll find in a thrift shop since the selection depends on what people donate. You might find sofas, dining room tables and chairs, and other things on any given day. If you have good DIY skills, you might be able to turn something you find in a second-hand store into a work of art. Why not buy a coffee table, sand it down, add some primer, give it a couple of coats of quality paint or varnish, and add it to your living room? With even a modest budget, you can make over your home. Do you want to go all out? You can do the interior design equivalent of dying your hair, upgrading your clothing style, and even changing your name. You might instead want to make a few changes by picking up some quality, low-cost pieces of furniture.

If you want to get some furniture while reducing your impact on the environment, one way is to buy second-hand items. You can get what you want without breaking your budget. You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to get the furniture you want for your home. It can be a good way to up the oomph factor of your home while giving used furniture a new lease on life.
