Instead of throwing away an old bathtub, we decided to repurpose it by creating something practical. The first step was to cut it in half to create the base for a future sofa. It wasn’t just about cutting; we also made sure the edges were smoothed out and secured to avoid any risks.
Next, we applied a coat of paint. To give our future sofa some character, we chose vibrant and contrasting colors: the outside was painted black, and the inside was a bright red. We also customized the feet of the bathtub by painting them red, adding a touch of harmony to the whole piece.
Once the paint dried, we added the key element: comfort. We used soft cushions and a thick mattress to turn our piece of furniture into a sofa that’s as comfortable as it is stylish.
Perfect for the garden, our bathtub sofa blends in beautifully outdoors. It can be placed directly on the ground, providing a cozy space to enjoy the fresh air. In case of rain, simply remove the cushions and mattress to protect them from the moisture.
The final result? A functional and unique piece of furniture that now enhances our garden. This project is a great example of creativity, proving that even an object that seems useless can be transformed into something beautiful and useful with a little imagination and effort.
