Love old furniture? It's even better when it's free!

If you are looking to fill your home with some old pieces of furniture - you can do so without spending a penny!

I know... I can sense your excitement right now!

People around the country have grown tired of their old furniture and have upgraded to newer more modern pieces (lord knows why). Many of us take them to charity shops, brocante shops, car boots or give to friends or family to reuse.

I regularly trawl all of the above to look out for pieces of furniture - for my new home and to restore and sell on or give as gifts.

But - where can you get furniture for free?

Gumtree is a great place to start. Search the freebies section and see what delights await. You can narrow your search by location if you're not prepared to travel too far for it.

Freecycle is an organisation, which was set up to reduce waste. This network of eco-friendly bargain hunters is well worth signing up too.

You can join groups in your area and see what people are giving away for free within your local group - as well as promote items you are looking to give to a good home.

Freegle  is one of my favourite sites. There are 1,495,541 members in 384 groups all over the UK - waiting to give their old things a new home. And look for new things to fill their home

Preloved is much like Gumtree. It's full of second hand delights cheap as chips - and occasionally you can find some really good giveaways.

If you find any great giveaways or have any other sites you would recommend - please share!
