IKEA HACK: COLOUR WASH CHEVRON DRAWERS

Create chevron drawers with Rust-Oleum Colour Wash

We hacked a set of IKEA RAST drawers to create a cool chevron piece of furniture, perfect for a playroom or bedroom.

Spruce up your interiors using a new twist on a classic painting technique with Rust-Oleum Colour Wash paint.

This fashionable, pearlescent stain (available in four shades) lightly tints wood, adding bright pops of colour while still displaying the woods natural grain.

By adding beautiful translucent colour to bare or unpainted wood you can add texture, dimension and natural paint layers to your piece.

  • Rust-Oleum Colour Wash
  • Medium paint brush
  • Tape measure
  • Masking tape
  • Pencil
