The "Malm" series in IKEA has only four color options: white, black, light and dark wood. An excellent way to breathe new life in the tree cheerful - paint it. Make it in monophonic or change the color only at the boxes, and maybe you will want to use the stencil - let your fantasy restricts. The best acrylic paint is suitable for the transformation. Before starting work, it is sure to sand the surface, clearing it from dirt and dust. Apply a layer of primer to staining, it improves the adhesion and levels the surface.

Purlee with its help space between drawers. Especially stylish this technique looks with a gold metal on a white background. You can use other metal shades. Or, on the contrary, go to the boxes, and the space between them is untouched. Dresser perfectly fit into the interior if the metal color will be repeated in several design elements. For example, put the vase with the copper pattern or hang a lamp with a golden lampshade.

In the original version, the handles on the boxes are not provided, but this is good such an idea. Perfectly will look a handle-rings or round. Select them the same for each box or place different, but in a single style. Unusual option - use the skin. Make a loop and attach with a beautiful button in the center of the drawer, or lock on top without using the button.

Make beautiful inscriptions on drawers or engage plastic patterns. It is best to apply contrasts: make a white lettering on a black background, and black - on white. Create a couple of chest with posters - print the same pattern or phrase written by the same font.
8 Replace the countertop
Sometimes it is worth replacing one item, and the thing will play with new paints. Try to put a tabletop from the massif on the Malm Dresser and appreciate how your interior will immediately be filled with warm home comfort. The original effect can be achieved by posting the surface with a tile or adding an epoxy resin insert.
