IKEA Dresser Hack: From Basic to Designer with Trim and Paint

This transformation by @something.renewed will leave you inspired and eager to tackle your own DIY project! The once simple dresser now exudes designer vibes thanks to a few clever tweaks and a dash of creativity.

First, the dresser was primed with @kilzbrand primer to ensure a smooth and even base for the paint. Then, a stunning coat of Renovation Gray enamel paint by @wiseowlpaint was applied, instantly elevating the piece. The addition of bronze hardware (available in their Amazon shop) adds a touch of sophistication and warmth. But the real showstopper is the pine screen trim moulding from @loweshomeimprovement, which takes this dresser from basic to extraordinary.

Don’t be intimidated by this project – it’s totally attainable and can be done with simple tools for cutting the trim and hand-painting the dresser. Embrace the imperfections and learn from any mistakes along the way (we think it looks fabulous, by the way!).
