Small steps to give your furniture a longer life
Within the next few years, the potential to repurpose, repair, restore, reuse, resell or recycle will be built into every IKEA product. Even today, there’s probably an easy way to prolong the life, and value, of your furniture – helping to refresh or refurbish your home with small means.
Tips for making your furniture last longer
Refresh your furniture
Often, you can refresh well-used furniture for little cost or effort. Perhaps your sofa has washable and replaceable covers, or your wood furniture needs only a lick of paint or wood stain for years of extra use.
Fix it if you can
A minor repair or adjustment may be all you need to get a wobbly chair, table or sofa back into action. For smaller spare parts for IKEA products, you can order online. Saving you the cost and effort of replacing the furniture.
Oil the wood you have
A well-maintained wooden chopping board can last for years. Regular oiling can prevent warps and cracks, and save you having to buy a new one. A long-term friend for you and your wallet.
Put feet on
Stick-on floor protectors can keep your floors beautiful for longer, by helping to prevent scratch marks and scrapes from furniture. They fit firmly and easily on the bottom of chair and table legs, and are kind to your floor.
