Diy drawing on the dresser. Restoration of old furniture: giving new life to the chest of drawers

Updating furniture is a common practice that does not require significant investments and allows you to implement creative author's ideas. This also applies to dressers - perhaps the most functional furniture. The décor of the chest of drawers should match the interior of the living room in which it is located. If you need to accentuate a restrained pastel decor, a revamped print and vase-topped chest of drawers is a good solution. It's another matter if you need to create the perfect combination of color palette. A properly decorated old chest of drawers will cope with any task.

Buying new furniture is not cheap. And the models sold in the post-Soviet space are not always distinguished by originality. Therefore, a master class on upgrading an old chest of drawers will come in handy for those who want to save money, as well as for people with an artistic mindset who gravitate towards everything original. So how to decorate a dresser with your own hands?

We update the old chest of drawers

Whether it is the restoration of the chest of drawers or the decor of the bedside table with your own hands - everything is done in stages. The first thing you need before starting work is the tools. Here is a list of what you need:

  • small sander;
  • sandpaper or sanding sponge;
  • stencils;
  • putty knife;
  • unnecessary toothbrush;
  • screwdriver;
  • a knife for wood;
  • several brushes, different in width and composition of the pile (hard and soft), sponges;
  • masking tape;
  • acetone;
  • industrial film;
  • toothpicks.

Materials needed:

  • voluminous paste or acrylic-based putty;
  • glue for wooden surfaces;
  • wood varnish, stain or primer with paint of a certain color (for decoupage - three-layer napkins).

You will also need gloves and a respirator.

If it's an artistic idea, acrylic paint in the right color will do. For those wishing to modernize the old chest of drawers, replacing furniture fittings would be a good option: you can add new handles or mirror panels.

Restoration

But for those who are not afraid of working with sandpaper, a spatula and acrylic paint, a stage-by-stage restoration of the chest of drawers has been prepared. The process consists of several steps: removing the old paint or varnish coating, thorough sanding, checking for chips and other irregularities, local filling of defects, painting and final decoration of the chest of drawers.

But first you should look for defects in the insides of the dresser. Any broken bottoms, shelves and guides should be unscrewed with a screwdriver and measured. In accordance with the geometric parameters, you can buy new elements or make them yourself. If the second option is closer to you, be prepared to acquire an additional arsenal of tools and knowledge in the field of thorough furniture repair. Be sure to check this before decorating your dresser with your own hands.

Also notice the screws, handles and feet. If the fittings are not the same, with differences in shape and pattern, then, most likely, these elements are made by hand, and if some of them are damaged, the analogue part can no longer be reached. In this case, it is better to replace all the fittings.

Cleaning and preparing the product

Cleaning the surface is done carefully so as not to damage the important decorative elements of the product. First clean the surface by wiping it with soapy water. Use a toothbrush to remove dirt and dust from hard-to-reach areas.

To remove paint or varnish from furniture surfaces, you will need industrial film and acetone. Cover the old chest of drawers with the latter, and to enhance the effect, cover the product with industrial film. In the absence of a film, you can use oilcloth, cellophane and other materials at hand. Limit air intake and let the furniture sit for one hour. After this time, the layer of varnish and paint will lag behind the wood.

Do-it-yourself dresser decor begins with work with a construction trowel. Remove the loose layer from the wood without damaging the surface. Remember to remove all paint.

This is followed by the skinning stage.

The surface, free from small decorative elements, is sanded with a machine. For the latter, it is important to choose the right attachment. Sand the area of ​​protruding parts and small parts with emery paper or using a sanding sponge. Do not overdo it on sanding, so as not to damage the chest of drawers.

Cracks, chips, scratches and other defects are carefully covered with wood putty. Better to give preference to a water-based putty. For restoration, the filler is selected according to the color, not the name of the wood. It should only go into the grooves, so grind the surface again. If traces remain in the structure of the tree, stains will appear when tinted with stain that cannot be removed. Replace the bottoms in boxes, runners and reinforce the frame.

Painting

The choice of paint, its brand and color depends on how you see the future decor of the old chest of drawers. This can be a layer of stain if the structure of the wood is smoothly embossed and looks good without paint. The stain is suitable for changing the color while preserving the texture of the wood. You can cover the entire surface with acrylic paint, and then the design of the old chest of drawers will be completely different.

Both stain and paint are applied evenly with a brush or roller. The work is the same in terms of time: only the results on the fact of drying are different.

Stages of work:

  • The choice of varnish, paint of the desired color and other materials.
  • Toning, staining or painting with a brush, roller. You can use a rag.
  • A layer of varnish on the entire surface of the furniture. After drying, another layer or two. Can be replaced with a transparent primer.
  • Sanding to remove the raised pile of the array.
  • Finishing layers of varnish.
  • Wait until it dries completely.

Design solutions

The decor of an old bedside table or decorating a chest of drawers with your own hands is determined by the style of the interior. You can use wallpaper, lace, choose a floral print, fabric upholstery of boxes, paints, or put names, memorable dates on the surface. You can decorate the entire front panel with coffee beans, buttons, beads, beads and more. If this is a living room, it is better to use presentable discreet color panels, but for a bedroom or nursery, you are given complete freedom of choice. Decoupage technique, English style, volumetric decor, as well as antique decor do not go out of fashion.

Bedside tables are updated in the same way. But here's how to decorate a plastic chest of drawers? Decoupage is the best choice. The same work is carried out as indicated above, with the exception of grinding. For plastic, special paints of various colors and primers are provided.

Decoupage

How to decorate a chest of drawers using decoupage technique? This is a real freedom for imagination. Decoupage means decorating furniture with special cards and three-layer napkins. You also need to get white acrylic paint, PVA glue, scissors, a roller and a sponge. The process begins by applying paint with a roller to the entire surface of the chest of drawers. Next, start cutting out the images you want. To give an antique look, after complete drying, you should go over the product with sandpaper. This must be done carefully, along the lines of the wood.

Apply PVA glue to all parts to glue them to the dresser. With the same glue, grease the front side of the pictures, which will protect them from external influences. If these are flowers or ornate patterns, they can be extended with patterns of lines and curls protruding onto the surface of the nightstand.

Decoupage can also be done with fabric. This will allow you to decorate the facade to match the interior.

In english style

But do-it-yourself dresser design is not limited to the idea of ​​decoupage. An old product is ideal for an English style, even if it has noticeable defects. You will need four colors: white, red, blue, and brown. The first three are acrylic paint, the last one is oil paint. From materials, putty, putty knife, top-glaze, masking tape, sandpaper, decorative nails, brushes and rollers are also useful.

The fittings are removed from the chest of drawers, and the product is cleaned. After that, the surface is covered with an uneven layer of putty: the more carelessly, the better. Cover the dresser with white paint and tape the areas to paint. Dilute the scarlet and blue paints. The spotting that may appear during the staining process is only a plus. The table top and sides are sanded. The finished work is covered with top-glaze (use a sponge for this). The ideal tone of the topplazer is “nut”. Then hammer in decorative furniture nails and install the hardware, darkened with oil brown paint.

Antique

But how to decorate a dresser with your own hands if it is too old-fashioned? Country and Provence lovers will appreciate the antique décor. Such a design is now popular, and to work you will need the following:

  • sandpaper of various grit and hardness;
  • sponge;
  • brushes and screwdrivers;
  • craquelure varnish;
  • wax candle;
  • 2 colors of acrylic paint.

Remove the hardware, drawers, and dresser countertops. Sand the entire surface and wipe with a wet sponge. Apply the first coat of paint and leave to dry. The following scuffs will be intentional, and they are carried out with sandpaper and a candle. Then apply paint of a different shade (to your taste) and wipe with a sponge those areas that were covered with wax: in these places the paint will be erased. The finishing stage is decoupage technique or author's painting. Further, everything is covered with craquelure.

To make a designer dresser decor with your own hands means to make an expensive designer thing out of a simple, ordinary dresser. Few can afford to buy designer things - they are not cheap. Surrounding yourself with beautiful things that make you feel good and comfortable is in our power - you just really want to. To create a special mood in the house, to make the atmosphere unique - it's all in our hands. If you are a beginner decorator, you can first make a bedside table decor with your own hands. We offer 2 master classes: on the decor of the chest of drawers, and on the volumetric decor of wooden parts with putty.

Decor of a chest of drawers in the English style (master class)

The decor of an old chest of drawers from an ikeevsky store is our task for one or two evenings. The decoration will be done using acrylic paint, red and blue pigments, with which we achieve the desired color when mixing these components. In addition, we need a putty in order to make the surface textured. Then you will need oil paint and top-glaze. Toplazure is a decorative coating with natural wax that will preserve the unique color of the wood.

For work you will need:

  1. White acrylic water-based paint.
  2. Finished finishing putty.
  3. Red and blue pigments.
  4. Walnut colored top-glaze.
  5. Brown oil paint.
  6. Decorative furniture nails.
  7. Putty knife.
  8. Masking tape.
  9. Roller and brush.
  10. Sandpaper.
  11. Its a wooden chest of drawers.

Getting Started

Before decorating, it is necessary to remove all handles from the chest of drawers and wipe it from dust with a damp cloth.

Next, we take a spatula and spread a thin layer of white putty on the facades of all our drawers, that is, on the visible part of the chest of drawers. It is not necessary to adhere to a uniform filling of the surface, the board should be textured, and not simple. Smear the putty spots on the board. We are waiting for the putty to dry, and we pass with a roller with white acrylic paint, with a semi-dry brush, along the top of the boxes. We glue the masking tape and separate the places, which we will paint over in blue and red.

We take 2 glass jars and make the colors we need. Add blue and red pigments to the white acrylic paint. The more pigment, the darker the paint will be.

When staining, we see some spotting - it should be so. We need an unevenly colored surface.

We paint again, otherwise the color will be too pale. This is how it should turn out.

Then we take sandpaper, sand the top of the chest of drawers, side edges, and corners.

Then we take a sponge, and begin to rub on the entire surface of the chest of drawers, with the exception of the drawers, walnut-colored toplazer. Especially intensively we process the side parts, the corners of the facade, and the top of the chest of drawers. Next, we begin to stuff furniture nails along the facade of our chest of drawers. We make sure that the distance between the nails is the same.

Then we fasten the handles that we removed at the beginning of work, or others that match the style. We paint with a brush and oil paint around the nails and pens - we make a dark shade. We are finishing the work.

People often throw away old furniture, not because it is broken, but because old bedside tables, sideboards, or dressers are tired and no longer look beautiful. Often you see discarded furniture made of good wood, not modern chipboard and fiberboard. Old furniture undoubtedly deserves to be given a second chance, because it is a value that, in the right hands, turns into a stylish designer item. Yes, of course, you will have to put your hands and diligence, but such decor does not require large material costs, and the work will certainly delight you.

With the help of such a voluminous decor, you can make a do-it-yourself cabinet decor. You can decorate not only a chest of drawers or a bedside table with a volumetric decoration, but also make a cupboard decor with your own hands. Next, you will see stencils that can be useful to you in your work.

For work you will need:

  1. Wooden detail of a bedside table or chest.
  2. Putty knife.
  3. The stencil is plastic or made of thick cardboard.
  4. Acrylic filler or bulk paste.
  5. White and brown acrylic paint.
  6. Brush or sponge.
  7. Masking tape.

Getting Started

We fix the stencil on the surface of the tree, securing it with tape. We put putty on the stencil, level the surface with a spatula. Then remove the stencil with both hands and leave the work to dry.

Here we have such a voluminous decor.

Or another option: after the decorative element has dried, paint the surface with brown acrylic paint, then rub the pattern itself and the surface next to it with a candle.

Not everyone has the talent of an artist, and not everyone knows how to draw. This is where stencils come in handy. Transfer to cardboard, cut out, and use stencils for work.

I will not open a secret if I say that slate (chalk paint) is very often used to decorate furniture now. It adheres well, uniformly to the surface, does not require special efforts for painting. But the price is quite high. Therefore, we want to offer a recipe that will help you make your own chalk paint for decoration.

Paint composition:

  1. 250 grams of water-based latex or acrylic paint.
  2. 2 tablespoons of ordinary plaster (can be taken from the children's kit). Plaster can be replaced with chalk.
  3. 1 tbsp. a spoonful of hot water.

Preparation:

  • We take a glass jar, pour 1 spoonful of hot water into it, then pour gypsum there, and mix well.
  • Immediately pour paint into this mass (do not wait for the gypsum to harden).
  • Mix the resulting mass well. The chalk paint is ready. This paint can be used to paint a chest of drawers, a bedside table, and more.

Dresser decor options

There are many options for decoration: using fabric, acrylic or oil paints, the remains of wallpaper, paper, volumetric decor. Even if you just change such a trifle as fittings - buy interesting metal or wooden handles, metal locks with keys in a furniture store, and replace these small details - this can completely change the look of your furniture.

The times of shortage of furniture are long gone, and today we can buy whatever we want for an apartment and a house to our taste. But until now, many owners of furniture items of the socialist era are trying to repair them, give them a new life. And this is not from greed or a keen attachment to things. It's just that an object like an old chest of drawers may not be trash, the place of which is perhaps in the country, but a challenge to your own imagination and the ability to create with your own hands.

Restoration of an old chest of drawers: pros and cons

The repair and restoration processes are similar, but have a few significant differences. When repairing old furniture, we simply transform it most often: remove peeling paint, sand it, apply a new layer, fasten loose elements. Restoration is a deeper work that goes far beyond the boundaries of cosmetic repairs. In addition, a restored dresser can become more valuable if it was originally a sufficiently original, exclusive piece.

Before deciding to restore an old chest of drawers, conduct a thorough assessment of its value. Examine the product for tags or stamps indicating the name of the master and the time of manufacture. It may turn out that your chest of drawers is an old piece of furniture art, and by starting to process it, you will lose a truly valuable thing.

An old chest of drawers may be of antique value.

Signs of antiquity can be as follows:

  • grinded inner corners as a result of prolonged use of the chest of drawers;
  • uneven notch on the fastening screws;
  • different distances between the turns of the notch.

The last two signs may indicate that the fasteners were made by hand and not industrially.

All of the above can be detected with the naked eye. A deeper analysis will be carried out by a specialist whom you invite to evaluate the product. Before the final conclusion, it is not recommended to start restoration or repair work.

Restoration process from start to finish

So, you have made the decision to restore the old chest of drawers with your own hands. The work will be painstaking, requiring attention and time. Every step is of the utmost importance, so try not to miss anything.

Old chest of drawers in need of restoration

To work you will need:

  • putty and glue for wood;
  • sandpaper of different grain sizes in the set;
  • hammer;
  • screwdriwer set;
  • rubber mallet;
  • gloves and respirator;
  • toothpicks, toothbrush;
  • hardware cleaner (toothpowder is suitable);
  • brushes;
  • paint and varnish.

Cleaning the product

The old chest of drawers must be cleaned so that the surfaces and decorative details are not damaged. First, wipe the product with a sponge and soapy water. The water should be lukewarm, but not hot, and a chlorine-free laundry or stain remover soap should be used as a detergent.

Antique pieces of furniture, especially dressers, are often adorned with small details and carved inserts. A toothbrush will help you clean them well.

Remove the furniture fittings (this will give you access to the surfaces under the parts for better dirt removal) and rub with a cleaning agent. For example, tooth powder works well for silver.

Use an awl or toothpick to clean hard-to-reach places such as crevices and corners. Plaque and stubborn dirt can be removed with fine emery paper. It should be used very carefully, otherwise the finish may tarnish as a result of strong pressure.

If you decide to change the color of an old chest of drawers or cover it with a new layer of varnish, the surface must be carefully sanded.

Preliminary preparation

After the old chest of drawers has been washed and dried well, repair or replace damaged items. Finding the right parts is likely to be difficult. To do this, it is better to contact an antique shop or carpentry shop to order the production of the necessary decor items. There you can also get professional assistance with the installation of parts.

Check how well the screws and bolts are tightened and if the wood is cracked. Remove rusty or loose bolts: they must be replaced with new ones. Glue small cracks on the surface with wood glue; those that are larger, cover with putty on wood, picking it up strictly in tone. If you plan to subsequently cover the dresser with stain, then use a special putty.

Painting works

Nowadays it is rare to find furniture made of natural wood on a wide sale. An old chest of drawers may not go well with the modern style of your home. Therefore, in addition to a fresh look, this product can be given a new image. The easiest way is to paint it with one color, for example, white.

Remove the old coating from the surface first. Do this carefully so as not to damage the wood or leave traces of old coating in crevices and corners.

Thoroughly clean the surfaces of the dresser so that no unevenness remains

Now sand the surface to get rid of any irregularities and minor imperfections.

Sand the surface well

After sanding, proceed to the putty. Carefully seal up any chips and unnecessary holes. After the putty has dried, rub it with fine-grained sandpaper.

Use wood-based paint to paint the dresser. It may be necessary to sand the surface again. To give the chest of drawers a gloss, you can apply a layer of varnish over the paint (naturally, after it has completely dried).

Replacing old parts

The old dresser used in our example had iron handles. Of course, they are beautiful and give the furniture an antique look. Unfortunately, some of these pens are hopelessly damaged. The easiest way out is to completely replace them with new ones, more suitable in style. It's easy to do: drill holes of the required diameter in suitable places and insert the fittings.

Replace old dresser handles with new ones for a modern look

As you can see, the chest of drawers has become completely different: new, modern and exclusive.

New life of old furniture

Decoupage chest of drawers

If pure white color seems to you not enough in order to breathe new life into the old chest of drawers, make decoupage.

  1. Paint the surface with white acrylic paint. Let dry well.
  2. Cut out pattern fragments from decorative paper napkins. Stick them on the dresser with PVA glue.
  3. After everything is dry, cover the dresser with varnish.

That's all, your chest of drawers has sparkled with new colors! Decoupage is good because you can choose any pattern and pattern that your imagination allows.

Another repair option

This method will help you turn an old and boring bulky chest of drawers into a light and elegant piece of furniture. For the transformation, we will take a classic model without any special decorative ornaments: three wide drawers and two small ones.

Classic chest of drawers with three large and two small drawers

You will need the following tools and materials:

  • a means for removing an old layer of varnish or paint;
  • sandpaper;
  • chisel;
  • matte putty;
  • PVA glue;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • polyurethane foam decorative moldings;
  • wallpaper;
  • paraffin;
  • water-based acrylic paint;
  • transparent water-based varnish;
  • 8 decorative handles.

Preparation

Unscrew the handles from the dresser. Examine it carefully from all sides. Pay particular attention to the lid and legs: these are the places where the wood is usually the most damaged. If the deficiencies are minor, it is not necessary to eliminate them. But if more serious damage is found, sometimes it is necessary to replace some parts completely.

Free the chest of drawers from old varnish or paint. The upper layers can be removed with a chisel; they usually come off easily. Thoroughly rub the remains with emery so that clean wood is visible.

Thoroughly clean the product from old paint and remove the fittings

On places where noticeable irregularities and dents are found, apply mastic with a spatula and level the layer. After drying, sand these areas with fine-grained emery paper. Do this carefully, do not press too hard, otherwise you will damage the fresh layer of mastic. As a result, the surface should become perfectly flat.

New dresser handles you purchase may be smaller or larger than your old ones. In this case, you need to seal up the holes left over from the old handles that you removed with mastic and make new ones in the right places with a drill.

Note! There are handles that are attached to special screws. There is no need to drill holes for them. If you have the opportunity, purchase such accessories to make your job easier.

Dilute PVA glue with water. Use a brush to brush over the entire surface of the dresser. You can replace the glue with any primer. When the surface is completely dry, you can start decorating.

Decorative elements

First of all, prepare the main decorative elements - frames for the sidewalls and drawers. They can be made from conventional polyurethane moldings. In this work, the main thing is correct measurements. The frame for the drawer must be positioned strictly along the edge. It is better to make a small indent on the sidewalls.

Size the decorative frames on the drawers correctly

It is also very important to properly trim the corner pieces of the molding.

When you have prepared all the parts for the frames, start attaching them. For greater reliability, fasten the frames with screws, then seal the places where they enter the moldings with mastic so that the caps do not stand out.

Apply mastic to the places where the screws enter the moldings.

Now paint the installed frames with acrylic paint. Choose whichever color you like or suits the interior of the room. For example, for a French-style chest of drawers, light coffee or beige is well suited. Apply the paint in several layers, each time until it dries completely.

Stick wallpaper inside the frames. It's good if they have a thick texture and a quirky pattern. The ornament should be darker than the general background. After you finish pasting the wallpaper, carefully screw the knobs into place.

For the originality of the decor, use wallpaper.

The final touch is the covering of the chest of drawers with transparent varnish. It should be applied in several layers.

To make the drawers easy to slide out of the grooves, lubricate the wooden parts of the slide system with paraffin. Sliding will be greatly facilitated.
