How to Replace Sofa Legs?

You can update the style of your sofa by reupholstering it or buying new pillows, but changing legs can also breathe new life into your favorite furniture. As with fabrics and accessories, replacement sofa legs come in a variety of styles, so shop around until you find one that resonates with you. The hardest part of this DIY project is turning the sofa upside down, but you can get someone to help you.

The legs of the bracket sofa are short mitered and curved upwards, and the legs of the buns (commonly found in pastoral-style sofas) are short, flat, and round. You'll see convertible legs on European-style furniture that's taller with the knees bent outwards. The claws and ball feet are also curved outwards, but the bottom looks like a bird's claw catching the ball. Other outwardly curved sofa legs include clubfoot and clawfoot legs.

More modern sofa feet often have straight, outward-sloping splayed legs, perfectly straight square legs, or tapered block feet. An inverted leg is common: it is short, round, and tapered. Some sofa legs are built into the frame on the sofa, so replacing them can be difficult.

You can find replacement sofa legs at hardware stores and online. They go on to explain how to replace the bun-style sofa legs. Be sure to choose legs that are the same height and width as your legs. If they don't come with double-sided screws, you'll have to buy some. Sofa legs come in a variety of styles and prices, and once you've bought them, you may want to paint or stain them before installing them. It's an attractive look when the color coordinates with the floor.

If your new sofa feet don't already have screws, you can drill a hole in the center and screw a double-sided screw into the feet. These double-sided screws have threads on both ends. Next, spread an old blanket or tarp on the floor next to the couch and have someone turn it upside down for you.

If there is a problem with the current leg or receiving plate on your sofa, you can install a new one. Turn the old sofa legs counterclockwise until they loosen, then unscrew them. The screws may be damaged and difficult to remove. In some cases, the sofa legs are attached to the receiving plate.

To fix the receiver board, attach a 1 x 4 scrap plank to the bottom of the sofa. Mark the hole for the receiver and drill a large hole in the middle. This large hole is where you will screw in the new sofa legs. Use larger holes for more screws. Fasten scrap wood to a plate or to the bottom of the sofa, then screw in the new feet.
