How to EASILY Convert an IKEA Table into a Chic Furniture.
With a price tag of less than $ 20 and a simple design, the IKEA Lack table is in need of a makeover.
How about transforming this table that everyone has at home, into a chic and trendy piece of furniture?
Well, your wish is granted!
Here is the trick to customize your IKEA Lack table in chic and unique furniture. Look, it's very simple:
What you need
- a piece of wallpaper (it's up to you to choose the pattern that best matches your decoration)
- spray glue (at the DIY store, it is also called neoprene aerosol glue)
- colorless glue varnish
- shellac
- upholstery nails, like these brass upholstery nails
- a hammer
- a ruler
How to do
1. Make sure your table is clean and dry.
2. Spray the glue spray on the table top.
3. Gently lay your wallpaper on top.
It's even easier to do if there are two of you. One person sprays the glue while the other applies the wallpaper.
Pro tip: if air bubbles appear under the wallpaper, you can flatten them with a rolling pin, ruler or with your bank card.
4. After spraying glue, fold the paper back along the edges of the table. Do the same for the underside of the table.
Advice : remove the legs from the table to make it easier.
5. Apply a coat of glue varnish.
6. Once the glue is dry, apply a layer of shellac.
Not very expensive and effective, glue varnish and shellac protect and preserve surfaces. So don't worry, if you spill liquid on it, you can easily clean the table without damaging it.
7. Once the surface is dry, add the upholstery nails to the edge of your table.
For a nice, neat finish, it is best to put the nails at the same distance from the edge of the table.
To do this, measure 15 mm from the edge to the nail head and make a point on the table with a pencil. Then, measure 20 mm between each nail head so that they are at the same distance.
Results
And there you have it, you have transformed your IKEA Lack table into a chic piece of furniture :-)
Easy, isn't it? She is still more beautiful like that, right?
Additional advice
- Note that this trick is much easier to do if you have just bought an IKEA table and have not yet set it up.
- If your wallpaper is not large enough to cover the entire table, just put two pieces of wallpaper next to each other as is the case here.
