This post contains advertising Do you have an older IVAR cupboard from IKEA in your home that you have been wanting to give a new look for a while? Then I have a brilliant solution, because I will now show you how you can transform your IVAR cupboard into a completely new piece of furniture with the Decosa quarter-arch wall strips and a bit of paint!
This summer I was in the mood for some change in my apartment and therefore, in collaboration with Decosa and dekiso.de* completely redesigned my IVAR cupboard. I had known the cupboard for a while and thought that it would be possible to make a great upcycling project out of it!
My fingers were literally tingling. This time I decided on the Decosa quarter-arch wall strips Melissa. With a few other materials I gave the IVAR cupboard a completely new look. If you also feel like sprucing up a cupboard, then pay close attention. Because now I’m going to explain to you how you can easily redesign an IVAR cupboard with Decosa products. By the way, I couldn’t quite decide on the color. After I had painted the cupboard a dark forest green, I changed my mind and went with a sage tone. Which version do you like better?
The materials are not only ideal for the IVAR wardrobe, you can use them for many different DIY projects. I have already built a hanging shelf with the wooden-look beams and a rustic wall coat rack with the wooden-look boards and pimped up a MALM chest of drawers with Viennese wickerwork and decorative strips.
Pimp up IVAR cabinet with quarter arch
In my step-by-step instructions, I’ll explain exactly which materials you need and how you can implement this IKEA hack with quarter-arch wall moldings Melissa in your home. And further down, you’ll find out more about Decosa products and the quarter-arches they use.
Instructions
Arrange the quarter arches on the IVAR cabinet. For each cabinet door, 8 quarter arches are arranged to form two full arches.
Once you are happy with the position, you can glue the quarter-round arches onto your cabinet using mounting adhesive.
When the glue has dried well, it’s time to paint. I applied two coats of paint to the cupboard. Use the paint roller for the surfaces. For details, such as the arches, you can first paint the edges with a brush and then continue with the paint roller.
To attach the furniture handles, you can stretch a piece of masking tape on the back of the handles. Then transfer the holes onto the tape. Now peel off the tape and position it on the cabinet.
You can now pre-drill a hole at the marked points and then attach the handle to the pre-drilled holes. Repeat this with the second handle.
Finally, the cupboard just needs to be turned over so that the furniture feet can be attached. The newly designed IVAR cupboard is ready!
Attention: Due to the attached furniture feet, the cabinet should definitely be attached to the wall so that it does not tip over when opened due to the heavy doors.
Do you like the result? I think the cupboard turned out very nice and is something completely different to the projects I usually show here. The quarter-arches make the cupboard look very classy and it’s a real eye-catcher! Don’t you agree?
