The project

My original bedroom furniture made the room look dark and closed in. The dark chocolate coloured bed frame, side tables, tall boy, table and entertainment unit was all a look from the years gone by, and in need of a fresh new look. Lightening everything to white makes everything look more vibrant and welcoming. Add in new wall art, a feature wall, and matching bed linen makes all the difference. 

Steps

Step 1

 

Lightly sanded all the furniture and applied the undercoat and primer (with my little helper).

Step 2

Painted all the furniture in the Dulux Hog Bristle Quarter paint, and sprayed all the handles from black to matt gold.

Step 3

Painted the feature wall Dulux Heavenly Blue, added a beach theme canvas print and almost matching bed linen. 

Step 4

Added some shell and candle accessories to complete the look. 

Tools and materials

Materials used in the project:

• White undercoat and primer paint
• Gloss finish wood paint
• Matt gold spray paint.

Tools used in the project:

• Sander
• Paint brushes
• Paint roller and tray
• Screwdriver.
