1. Transform your space with earthy tones and DIY elegance: A Berlin apartment dream table:

Are you ready to be inspired by the perfect blend of earthy tones, natural materials, and DIY creativity? In this blog post, we take you on a captivating tour of a stylish Berlin apartment that has us falling head over heels. Discover how a vintage marble slab found on eBay, paired with our versatile Bertil 300 Ash natural legs, has transformed this living space into an über-cool sanctuary. A big thank you to @dsignhumane for the inspiration!

To attach Bertil legs to a stone table top you can do it two ways:

  1. Use 3M stickers: cover the whole top of the leg with the sticker and make sure you attach it well to the top. You can buy these king of stickers in a hardware store.

  2. Use universal fitting plates: Always included when you buy legs for table tops at Prettypegs.com. First you have to glue a wooden board under the table top and then you just screw the plates on to the wooden board.

In a world that values sustainability and creativity, furniture upcycling has taken center stage. If you've been contemplating parting ways with a vintage round table top or a second-hand Norsborg IKEA sofa, hold onto them, because we have an exciting solution for you. Instead of discarding, consider upcycling your furniture with Prettypegs.

With the simple addition of our Sigrid 300 Black table legs, you can transform your vintage table top into a chic and stylish centerpiece that adds character to any room. These legs are not only a practical choice but also a design statement, offering a contrast that complements the aesthetics of your table perfectly.

But that's not all; you can revamp your entire living space by pairing the Sigrid 300 Black table legs with an Ester legged Norsborg IKEA sofa. This combination not only enhances the visual appeal of your furniture but also breathes new life into your interior. The flexibility of Prettypegs allows you to add your personal touch to your furniture, making it distinctly yours.

When you buy our legs you always get the right fitting included. The universal fitting plate can be screwed into most material and is an easy way to be able to change legs over time. For many sofa models there is a pre drilled M8 threaded hole so you can screw our legs in without any fitting plates. If the plates are not needed for your sofa model, you won't receive them. Just as simple as that!

By choosing upcycling over disposal, you're not only embracing eco-friendliness but also infusing your home with unique and creative design. With Prettypegs, the possibilities are endless, and the transformation is in your hands. Elevate your furniture and give it a new lease on life, all while reducing waste and contributing to a sustainable future.
