What’s this, all glammed up in passionate red and Bordeaux? It’s our DIY console! Finished in a flash as we are simply upcycling a wooden pallet into a fashionable piece of furniture. Perfect as a stand-out feature for the living room or hallway! The best thing about it is that no carpentry is required; one coat of KREUL Acrylic Gloss Paint is all you need to transform a Euro-pallet from throwaway waste into a trendy sideboard. A snappy DIY project for anyone who wants to create a standout furniture feature. We’ll give you the background know-how you need for this uncomplicated upcycling project with KREUL Acrylic Gloss Paint.
### From wooden pallet to fashionable sideboard
Throw away a wooden pallet? That would be a real shame because it is ideal for upcycling into a trendy item of furniture. Take out any protruding nails with pliers and sand down the wooden surface. Once everything is nice and smooth, you can start with the transformation into a sideboard. Paint one end of the pallet in red with KREUL Acrylic Gloss Paint, and the opposite end in Bordeaux. See how well the glossy acrylic colour instantly covers the wood! No base coat needed. Our wooden pallet now has a glammed-up new look with the powerful colour combination of red and Bordeaux.
### Robust colour for furniture and decoration
The DIY colour dries quickly and is lightfast. So you can soon use your newly designed console as a shelf. Once it has dried, the paint is robust and scratch-resistant – perfect for furniture or home decoration that is frequently moved. Our red console can even be displayed outdoors, as the KREUL Acrylic Gloss Paint is water- and weatherproof. A colourful eyecatchier for your patio!
### KREUL Acrylic Gloss Paint: an allrounder for DIY
Got any leftover paint? Great! We might as well make some matching home accessories. KREUL Acrylic Gloss Paint is a real allrounder for interior design. You can paint on many different surfaces with the water-based acrylic colours. On top of this, it is saliva-resistant. The paints are suitable for wood, paper, cardboard, polystyrene, stone, dried concrete, terracotta, glass, ceramics, clay, metal, plastic, leather, and even air-drying clay. Let’s top off the red sideboard with matching colourful concrete candleholders. We’ll also add some wooden boxes for storing bits and bobs, and a couple of decorative wall plaques as well: Naturally, in harmonizing colour combinations, as you can simply mix KREUL Acrylic Gloss Paints with each other. Have fun upcycling!
