Are you looking to overhaul your bedroom nightstands? Too often, our home improvement and interior design projects come to a halt because someone in our household is attached to the old furniture or original construction of the home. However, refurbishing nightstands is an easy DIY project that you can do in just one day. The only thing you need to decide is the concept you want to achieve.
For example, one of the easiest ways to change the look of bedroom night stands is to replace the hardware. This means grabbing a screwdriver and taking a trip to the hardware store if necessary. After all, the metal drawer pulls are often the only thing that makes nightstands look outdated. The application of less than $20 and 10 minutes of your time are usually all you need. There are so many decorative drawer pulls these days that make it easy to glam up the space on a budget.
Despite this, if you are still looking for a major overhaul of the way your bedroom nightstands look, changing the color is a good option. While contact paper will work for some situations, many people will choose to paint them. As long as they are clean and free of dust, a small can of paint usually does the trick. Nonetheless, various types of spray paint can take this project even further to create dramatic changes.
To get started with spray painting, the first piece of advice that you will need to follow is actually reading the directions on the bottle before you make a purchase. On the label, it will indicate if the spray paint is for finished woods or plastics. You can tell if it is going to work by doing a test sample on the underside of the nightstand. If the paint doesn't dry correctly, then you know it's time to take it back to the store to get your money back.
However, most people find that this option works better than any other. Part of the fun is due to the amount of variety that spray paints now have. For example, you can get spray paint that has a crackle effect. There are also ways to use this kind of paint to make nightstands look like marble.
One other option to draw the eye to your bedroom nightstands is to use gold or silver metallic paint. This works best for interior design based on palatial French, Indian, or Persian themes. Paired with the right wall colors and fabrics, this can turn your ho-hum plywood furniture into something glamorous.
Finally, the spray paint option that is becoming popular in children's bedrooms is the chalkboard maker. This is especially popular for furniture that is on its way to the charity shop. It definitely creates something fun that gets the kids excited about having their room decorated. Plus, kids love the idea of doing a rare activity like writing on furniture.
In the end, the most successful projects for bedroom nightstands are ones done carefully. No matter what you use to change the surfaces, it is important that you do a paint test on the underside of the nightstands before you attempt to cover them completely. Other important tips include covering the hardware or metal pieces of the nightstands with painter's tape to ensure that you do not cover them with paint.
