Furniture restoration is the art of taking an old, out of date, worn piece of furniture and changing elements of the finish until the piece looks new again.
This has become more popular in recent years both as environmental concerns increase public taste for recycling, and as economic challenges force people to save furniture they already own instead of purchasing new. Dr. Sofa offers top-notch furniture repair services, restoring your beloved pieces to their former glory with skill and attention to detail.
Almost any item of furniture can be restored, but the best candidates are older pieces made of solid wood, with joined or mitered joints. These pieces are well constructed and will endure for years to come in any finish. Sofas, tables, and chairs can all be restored, but there is perhaps no piece of furniture more adaptable, or more suited to restoration and redesign, than the dresser.
Dresser Redesign: Transforming Your Space with Style and Function
Far from being a simple set of drawers to collect clutter, dressers can be finished to look at home in any room of the house. They can hold art supplies, linens, clothes, towels, dishes, or even tools. Starting with a sturdy, basic structure, a dresser redesign can add personality to let a dresser blend in to any décor or add punch and flavor to any room. DR.

The most simple design change that can be made to a dresser is the finish. Paint can be stripped off to the wood underneath. After a good sanding, any color or stain you can imagine can be applied. Stencils, cutouts, textures, and more add fun and an unexpected look. If coordination with existing furniture is important, the finish can be easily color matched to an identical shade.
Next, the hardware, knobs, or pulls on the dresser can be changed. Very old knobs often have unique character that is quite beautiful, but they may be broken or lost. More recent hardware may have a plain and dated look that makes the dresser less attractive. Thankfully there is no end of options when it comes to dresser hardware. You can choose pulls in any shape, style, size, color, or width you can dream of, including matching those on furniture you already own. DR.

Dresser Redesign: Creative Solutions for Storage and Decor
Finally, you shouldn’t overlook the feet or legs of the dresser. These tiny details are not often noticed directly but they add a lot to the overall feel and character of the piece. Round and chunky or thin spindles, wood or metal, tall or not there at all, legs are an important part of the furniture. Even changing the color of the legs can add an interesting element to an otherwise drab dresser. DR. Sofa crafts bespoke furniture tailored to your vision.
