IKEA: The good, the bad and the (sometimes) ugly

Few would argue the fact that IKEA furniture is affordable and convenient. The assemble-it-yourself method keeps prices down and makes flat-pack kits easy to transport in the average family car.

Your flat-pack repair options

Firstly, it’s not widely known that IKEA furniture can be repainted. But... Before you grab a pot of your favourite colour, it’s important to understand that painting IKEA furniture is a multi-step process — especially if a professional result is important to you. Do it right and you may get years' more use from your furniture.

No tools, no mess, no time

What if you don’t have the space, tools, energy or time for painting? Is there a tool-less, time-saving alternative for DIY-ers who want results by, say, yesterday? We’re glad you asked!

Clean and dry the surface

So boring but so necessary—use a clean damp cloth to wipe then dry any surfaces that are going to be covered by the sticky vinyl. This will remove any dirt or grit that may create bumps in your adhesive or prevent it from sticking properly. If your furniture has handles, remove them at this time.

Choose your print

We decided to create a rattan look because a) we love rattan and b) so does everyone else. It's everywhere you look on Instagram, in interior design and decoration magazines, and furniture stores at every price point.

Mark and cut the vinyl to size

If you were using vinyl adhesive all on its own, this is where your measuring and cutting would need to be precise. But because you’re going to cover the edges with a Lux Hax Styl-Panel, you can be quick and lazy. (You're welcome.)

Apply the vinyl

Start at one edge and stick the first part of the adhesive sheet to the drawer. Next, slowly pull the backing away from the adhesive trying to keep the backing and adhesive close to the surface of the drawer. This will make it easier to smooth down the adhesive.
