Renovations are a great way to
bring new life or add value to your home, but they can get messy. Dust, paint and debris often find themselves
all over your furniture leaving it scratched, dingy-looking or stained.
Here are a few ways to protect your
furniture from becoming a renovation casualty.
Cover it:
Use drop cloths, plastic sheeting
or even an old sheet. This method works great if you are doing work in another
room and want to protect furniture throughout the rest of the house from stray
particles. It will give some protection against damage in the room as well, but
remember its not 100% effective; dust and spills will make their way through to
your furniture so be careful.
Move it:
A second option is to move your
furniture to another room as long as your renovations are contained to a
different area. This will offer a lot more protection, but dust and debris can
still travel so consider covering the furniture as an added precaution.
Store it:
Finally, the safest option for your
furniture is to store it. This will ensure it’s out of the way from the dust
and debris as well as clearing the space for renovators to move freely without
worrying about damaging something.
Remember to ask around for the best
storage option for your project based on the furniture you have and how long
your renovations will take.

your furniture from damage?
