This week, Colorantic is truly honoured to appear in La Semaine magazine. The featured makeover was done by Bénédicte Girard.
In the Déco section, Marie-Josée shares tips and tricks for an eco-friendly and stylish home, all using sustainable and recycled materials.
In the Déco section of La Semaine magazine, you will find the best places to get everything you need for a successful makeover. Isn’t it wonderful to revamp your interior decor while reducing your environmental footprint?
Colorantic is part of Marie-Josée Roy’s selection because, on a small budget, it is possible to upcycle a piece of furniture we already own.
The colours Emerald, Sunflower and Mermaid were chosen for this project to give a unique style to this dresser from another era.
No need to spend a fortune on new decor. Often, everything we need is already at hand! All it takes is a little love and some new colours. What’s more, our chalk paint respects nature: it is non-toxic and easy to use!
For less than $100, you can get all the supplies you need to give a new look to a cabinet, a bookcase, nightstands and more. With our beautiful and unique Colorantic paints, the possibilities are endless, and they match any decor.
Why Choose Furniture Upcycling
1. For durability: furniture from the last century is known to be sturdier than furniture made today. The wood is of higher quality and lasts longer than much of the new furniture sold on the market. So choose a piece that has already come a long way, with character and a story, and that will stay sturdy for many more years.
2. Always on trend: by upcycling an old piece of furniture, you give it a new lease on life while following today’s trends. Whether you choose soft shades or dare to use bright colours, your upcycled piece will be admired by all.
3. Eco-friendly: in our consumer society, it is important to take a stand and make the right choices. By upcycling your furniture, you help reduce the waste of natural resources. Upcycling an old piece of furniture is an action that supports sustainable development.
These are a few arguments that may help you realize the importance of becoming eco-responsible. After all, once refreshed, your furniture will keep its history while being up to date.
Sending large amounts of wood to landfill means losing many valuable materials. We have all seen furniture in very good condition go straight to the landfill. The idea of upcycling is to salvage everything we can to protect the planet. With experience and self-confidence, you develop real know-how.
Thank you to Marie-Josée Roy and La Semaine magazine for this lovely mention!
