How to upgrade ikea furniture
Paint it if you want to change the color.
Ikea offers their products in a decent selection of colors, but if it's not exactly what you want, it just won't do. Paint over clashing or lifeless shades on solid items for a piece that's totally your own.
This can be done in a matter of hours, but you'll enjoy the rebirth of your favorite book shelf or end table for years. Best of all, you can strip and repaint a piece as often as you like, which means the possibilities are nearly endless.
