Old and worn out furniture can destroy the look of your bedroom. Fortunately, you can always refinish bedroom furniture to restore and even enhance your bedroom's interior design. You'll probably need some knowledge on basic carpentry skills such as sanding and painting. It may seem difficult at first, but with a little practice, you'll be able to refinish any bedroom furniture with the least expense.
To begin, move the furniture that needs refinishing to the work area of your house. Cover the parts of the furniture that don't need some repair with plastic. Secure the cover using adhesive tape. The ground needs to be covered as well to prevent any liquid from spoiling it. In case the furniture is too heavy to move, consider doing the job inside the room. Only make sure the room is well ventilated and you practice basic safety measures.
Wear protective gloves and goggles before applying the chemical paint stripper. You will need to strip the old coat first before you can paint and polish it again. Let the chemical settle on the surface for the time recommended, and after some time, scrape it using a putty knife. You will know when it is ready to work when the knife goes through the paint and onto the wood.
Next, using sandpaper, smooth the surface of the furniture manually. Use a sandpaper that is 150-grit for the first time and finish it off with a 220-grit for the final smoothing. If you're quite comfortable using a power sander, use it. Just be careful when working with power tools as they can do damage both to you and to the furniture you are working on.
You are going to need a rug or a soft brush when applying the final coating. Tarnish the surface of the furniture with the shade or color of your choosing. After a few strokes and after achieving the shade that you want for the furniture, polish the exterior with polyurethane. Sand the area in between coats for better results. Wait until the polish has totally dried before moving it back inside the bedroom.
If the furniture has some metal parts on it, polish them using a metal cleaner. You can even paint them if you want to just to give the piece a fresh look. In case there are some broken parts in the furniture, remove them carefully and replace them with new ones.
