How to Revitalize Old Rosewood Sofas

I believe many of you, in your childhood memories, will have an old rosewood sofa. Rosewood sofas are also a type of sofa that many of the older generation like. They think rosewood sofas are practical and durable. Even if used for more than ten years, there is no problem. However, young people dislike rosewood sofas very much. They think rosewood sofas are made of relatively hard materials, uncomfortable to sit on, and the color is too bright, making them look ugly when placed at home.


So, should the rosewood sofa at home be directly thrown into the garbage dump? Many of you may think it’s a pity and reluctant to discard the rosewood sofa, after all, rosewood sofas are really durable. Is there any way to make the ugly and uncomfortable rosewood sofa at home look good and be useful? In fact, there are many ways. Some young people have already started to transform the ugly rosewood sofas in their homes, making the old rosewood sofas shine again.


Let’s take a look together at how to make the old rosewood sofas at home shine again!


Netizen @苍白如诗: How to transform the ugly rosewood furniture at home? I’d like to share a transformation method that costs less than 100 yuan with everyone. All you need to prepare is an old quilt you don’t need and two discarded pillows. Isn’t it very simple? Fix the discarded pillows on the sofa arms with a rope, then evenly spread the quilt on the sofa, and put on a customized sofa cover bought online. Isn’t it very simple? If there are some dexterous friends, you can make the sofa cover by yourself, which is cheaper and more useful.


Netizen @风吟鹤舞: Share a method with extremely low cost, a very simple transformation of an old sofa. First, buy ready-made sponges online (it’s best to buy 45d sponges). 45d sponges are more durable and stronger. They won’t collapse during daily use and are suitable for home use. Then, cut the sponge into the shape of the sofa according to the required size and fix it on the log sofa with a rope. You can also use cable ties.


Remember not to make big movements when cutting, don’t expect to get it right in one step. It’s best to first cut a rough shape, and then slowly modify the shape with a small knife bit by bit. Be sure to remember that it’s better to cut it a little bigger than smaller. Finally, cover it with a sofa巾 you like. The sofa巾 is also easy to take care of after it gets dirty. Just throw it into the washing machine for cleaning.


It’s a sofa cover suitable for lazy people. The sponge costs more than 30 yuan, and the sofa cover costs more than 20 yuan. All in all, it costs less than 50 yuan. Isn’t it very suitable?



Netizen @神秘流浪者: Turn the ugly “liver red” sofa into a fashionable and literary and fresh sofa. Did you ever think of that? It’s very simple. All you need is a bottle of wood wax oil.


However, the most challenging part is sanding the paint on the sofa in the early stage. It is recommended that you use an electric sander. It’s best to let the men in the family do this job. If you sand it bit by bit on your own, it may take half a month and still not be thoroughly sanded.


After sanding it clean, you can apply wood wax oil. Personally, I suggest applying two more coats. In this way, when applying the first coat of paint, the uneven parts can be covered by the second coat, making the wood wax paint more uniform.


Putting on a sofa cushion can make the sofa more comfortable. A literary and fresh sofa is then completed. In summer, sitting on it, sipping tea and chatting are all great choices.


Netizen @Once a Moth to the Flame: I’ve seen many sofa transformation methods online. Personally, I don’t think they are very suitable for the elderly. After all, my father-in-law and mother-in-law don’t really like these unconventional transformation methods. But the solid wood sofa in my in-laws’ house is really uncomfortable to sit on. Once I accidentally fell asleep on the sofa and got a stiff neck from being poked by the armrest, which made my neck ache for many days.


After much thought, I decided to directly order ready-made sofa cushions online and add a few Chinese-style throw pillows. In this way, the ugly sofa can be easily transformed into an artistic sofa full of Chinese style. My father-in-law and mother-in-law also thought it looked good. It’s a style that elders like.


Although the transformation method is simple, its practicality has increased a lot. Sitting on it, you won’t feel uncomfortable anymore.
