{"product_id":"upcycled-chic-and-modern-hacks","title":"Upcycled Chic and Modern Hacks","description":"In an age when we can buy the same bookcase in Sweden, Singapore, and San Francisco, adding individuality to our surroundings is increasingly important. It creates a sense of place, a feel of home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpcycling sums up today’s approach to interiors. It means re-using or re-styling things in an innovative and contemporary way, transforming an older piece of furniture from junk to fabulous. The same idea can even be applied to mass-market modern furniture—through \"hacking,\" you can give it a brand new use or an entirely different look. Both upcycling and hacking are about re-purposing, taking an inexpensive item and re-working it into something special and unique. It’s not just about making the most of your budget, although upcycling and hacks will save you money. It’s about having a home that reflects your style and individuality. Sometimes it’s just a question of looking at \"that old thing\" in a different way, such as hanging an empty picture frame on the wall, using a piece of outdoor furniture inside, adding different doors to chain-store fittings, or combining traditional and modern in quirky, individualistic ways.","brand":"Cico Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42985298919504,"sku":"9781782491859B","price":17.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/upcycled-chic-and-modern-hacks","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
