New life of old things: decor from photographs

Our next master class is devoted to how to turn the most ordinary table into a bright object for a fashionable interior.

Furniture factories are experimenting with color and ornaments. The frames and fronts are covered with various paints, and the backs and seats are covered with a fabric with a pattern borrowed from old magazines or comics. Our designer ventured into a similar experience with an IKEA table in a discreet Scandinavian style. The result was very, very unexpected.

  • Copies of the photographs are cut out and laid out on the countertop to form a collage. The table top is painted black.

  • Then the entire table is treated with acrylic varnish. Legs, drawer side and shelf in two layers are covered with white paint.
