Transform old into new – give your chest of drawers a new look
Project from Alex - 0 CommentsDoes this sound familiar? Scratched or simply outdated pieces of furniture that are still in too good a condition to get rid of them. We will show you in this simple tutorial how you can give your outdated chest of drawers a new look for very little money.
- An outdated chest of drawers
- Two rolls of d-c-fix® Sanremo oak sand 90 cm x 210 cm (F3465375)
- d-c-fix® application set (squeegee and cutter)
- Scissors
- Cloth to clean the surface
Let’s go
Step 1
First of all, clean the chest of drawers with a cloth to remove any possible residues to guarantee that the adhesive film can be applied evenly.
Step 2
Measure the parts of the chest of drawers onto which the adhesive film is to be applied and cut the appropriate pieces of film. Allow for a slight overlap on all sides so that the film definitely fits. The grid on the back will definitely help you.
Step 3
Now remove approx. 10 cm of the backing paper and start to apply the d-c-fix® film to one edge of your chest of drawers.
Step 4
Remove the backing paper bit by bit and use the squeegee to avoid any air bubbles. Tip: Always use the squeegee from the centre outwards.
Step 5
Finally, cut off the excess pieces of film with the cutter. With a little effort and new DIY ideas you will transform your chest of drawers and nobody will believe what it used to look like.
You’re done!

EXPERT ADVICE
You should repair larger dents with filler beforehand, otherwise these will show up under the adhesive film.
