Your table, cabinet, or sofa looking a little tired? Replacing its legs can be an easy way to give it a fresh new look without investing in an entirely new piece.
Furniture legs do more than support a piece of furniture. They also play an important role in its overall appearance, influencing its style, proportions and character.
Swapping bulky legs for something slimmer can create a lighter, more contemporary look, while turned timber legs can add warmth and traditional charm. Changing the shape, height or finish of the legs can help a piece feel more modern, elegant or uniquely suited to your space.
Find the Right Style for Your Furniture
When choosing replacement legs, consider the existing design of your furniture and the look you want to achieve.
For a classic look: Turned cylinder timber legs add timeless character and suit both traditional and contemporary interiors.
For a modern feel: Simple, clean shapes like Straight Tapered legs or our Test Tube-shaped legs create a streamlined appearance that works well with minimalist designs.
For a statement piece: Distinctive shapes and profiles can turn ordinary furniture into a feature of the room.

What to Consider Before Replacing Your Furniture Legs
Before choosing your new legs, consider a few important details.
Height and proportions: Check the dimensions of your existing legs and whether you want to maintain the original height or change it.
Attachment and compatibility: Check how the current legs are attached and whether the replacements will fit securely.
Strength and stability: Choose legs suitable for the weight and intended use of your furniture.
Timber and finish: Match the existing timber for a seamless appearance or choose a contrasting timber to create visual interest.
