Minimalist Furniture for Small Spaces

Driven by “sustainable consumption” and “cost-saving economics,” DIY furniture restoration has become a social media hit—In Q3 2025, Xiaohongshu posts about “old furniture renovation” exceeded 500,000, up 300% YoY. A home goods brand launched a “DIY Restoration Kit”: including eco-friendly wood paint, fabric refresh spray, hardware rust remover, repair putty, etc., paired with detailed video tutorials (covering sanding/finishing old wooden tables, sofa fabric renewal, drawer track replacement, etc.).

The kit sold over 20,000 units in 1 month, with over 80% of buyers being students and renters. A user’s post about “renovating a 20-year-old wardrobe with a ¥50 kit” got 100,000+ likes, driving a 40% sales boost for the kit. Industry observers note that DIY restoration reduces furniture costs and pushes “old-item recycling” to become a new growth point in the home goods industry.
