Discover the joys of upcycling furniture
Unless furniture is made from 100% metal or wood without any paint or other treatments, it cannot be easily recycled. Unfortunately, if you get rid of your furniture through a council collection or clean-up, it will likely end up in landfill. With the rise of 'fast furniture' it's not uncommon to see furniture illegally dumped in the streets, which has a high cost for councils and the environment.
We want to ensure Australians know there are other options available, like upcycling, to save pre-loved furniture! Upcycling not only saves furniture from landfill, but it also allows you to have incredible one-of-a-kind pieces in your home.

As part of National Recycling Week 2021, we created three video tutorials to show you how we 'flipped' three dated (and one really ugly) pieces of furniture into new and beautiful pieces!

To make these videos, we got some help from these amazing legends who are not only crazy talented at refinishing and upcycling furniture, but also incredibly kind as they helped us reach more people by promoting the Save Our Furniture campaign. Check out their Instagram accounts for inspo.
