Got a piece of furniture you don’t LOVE? Or an accessory that is almost right but just not quite right? Before you donate it to your local thrift store or try to sell it on Craiglist, why not enact a super simple, potentially Scandinavian-inspired, cheap and easy-to-do makeover? Simplify and paint it black.
What do we mean? By simplify, we encourage you to take away any ornament that you may not like — that might mean removing drawers, doors or door pulls and handles. It might mean sanding off elements that add unneeded detail. Simplify. Then, paint it black. We advocate for a sleek matte black, but a glossy black could work in the right space. If you have black in your space already, it’ll seamlessly fit right in. If not, it’ll be quite the statement piece.
