IKEA hack: create your own chevron wash colour drawers
Spruce up your interiors and IKEA drawers with a new twist on a classic painting technique
The fashionable, pearlescent paint (available in four shades) lightly tints wood, adding bright pops of colour, whilst still displaying the woods natural grain.
By adding beautiful translucent colour to bare or unpainted wood, you can add texture and dimension.
Here, Rust-Oleum have hacked a set of IKEA RAST drawers, creating a cool chevron feature piece, perfect for a playroom or bedroom.
