How to Repaint an Ikea Coffee Table
If you have an Ikea coffee table that needs a makeover, then follow these simple steps to give it a fresh look.
Before You Start:
- Choose a paint color to coordinate with your room.
- Gather your materials, including sandpaper, paint, primer, and a paintbrush.
- Make sure you have a well-ventilated workspace.
Step 1: Sand the Surface
Using the sandpaper, gently sand the surface of your Ikea coffee table. This will help ensure that the new paint sticks and provides a smooth finish.
Step 2: Apply the Primer
Once the sanding is complete, use the primer to coat the table. This step helps further ensure that the paint adheres to the surface of the table. Allow the primer to completely dry before proceeding to the next step.
Step 3: Apply the Paint
Now it is time to apply the paint. Start with a light coat and then add additional layers as needed. Make sure to let each layer dry completely before applying the next.
Step 4: Apply a Clear Finish
Once the paint has dried, apply a clear finish such as polyurethane. This will help to further protect the paint while giving it a nice sheen.
Step 5: Enjoy Your New Coffee Table
Once the finish has dried, your Ikea coffee table is ready to be enjoyed. Your furniture makeover is complete and you can finally sit back and admire your handiwork.
Note: Be sure to follow the instructions for the paint, primer, and clear finish that you choose. This will help ensure that you get the best results from your project.
