How I Made Over My IKEA Dresser
Giving my IKEA dresser a fresh look was both fun and simple! I started by choosing a chic color to repaint the dresser, opting for a soft, neutral tone that complements my room’s decor. I then swapped out the original hardware with elegant, modern handles, instantly elevating the dresser’s appearance.
You don’t have to spend big bucks to get the higher end look of a dresser. IKEA has natural wood dressers to purchase, paint and makeover! I had recently gotten sick of my IKEA makeover I did a few years ago and I’ve been completely obsessed with this moody blue hue I’m seeing everywhere!
Let’s Get Started
First, I sanded down the dresser a bit on the corner and face of the cabinets. Removed the knobs, and went to spray painting! Now, before I added my Midnight Blue color, I painted the entire dresser with a soft gray, just to keep it all one color in a base so that when I went to spray paint the blue, it would be less paint to use in covering certain spots. You don’t have to do this, so skip if you must ha!
Easy Dresser Hack
I sprayed two coats of Satin Midnight Blue by Rust-Oleum, two bottles should do the trick if your dresser is about this size, of course more if larger. Once it was dry, let it dry for about 2 hours in low humidity room or outdoors – I grabbed by knobs!
This is my favorite part, something about adding the new knobs just gave it the final touch! I chose champagne bronze pulls, purchased 6 of them!
Friends, that’s it! Once those knobs were on, and everything was dried, it’s all done. Such an easy project to do one one day and made a huge difference!
