Weathering Furniture Guide

By Brent Hollenberg


Distressed or weathered furniture is a term coined to refer to any furniture that has been refurbished in order to make it look more worn yet attractive. It is known that one of the best ways to liven up certain furniture is to make it look older. There is elegance to a worn out look and these designs fit perfectly for styles that want a more rustic ambiance. The overall appeal of a room with distressed furniture is a classy antique feel.

Some people think that the process of distressing furniture can be done easily. Some people even think that it is something that kids can do. This is a common misconception because what people fail to understand is that the process involves meticulous artistic skills. Random and reckless painting wouldn't make the furniture look beautiful. Instead, it might end up looking like trash.

If you really can't get an artistic side, you can also buy ready-made distressed furniture. There are websites online that offer products like this and also provide services of distressing your furniture. There are various options of shops online. Make sure that you trust one that is truly an expert in the craft.

Another option you have is to do your own distressed furniture with the help of an instruction guide. You can get these tutorials on how to distress furniture online too. A good resource should be able to teach you the step by step instruction on how to distress as well as the complete materials needed.

There are many options on how to make your furniture look weathered. The essential thing is to approach the right people to help you. You can explore on the different options. If you opt for online shops, make sure that you do your own research on these sites before you trust them especially if a fee is required. Many of these sites might turn out to be a scam.
