A flatpack wardrobe, VJ panelling and fresh paint used in this bedroom makeover.
The project
My partner and I set out to give our bedroom a makeover by upgrading our wardrobe, adding some panelling and some fresh paint.
Steps
Step 1
Prepare by removing all the clothes and then dismantle the old wardrobe.
Step 2
Dismantle and remove existing built-in wardrobe.
Step 3
Build flatpack wardrobe bases. Making sure during the design phase to order flatpack sizes that will maximise the space available and fill out as much space as possible.
Step 4
Remove existing skirting and build frame for panelling, attaching to the wall with brackets.
Step 5
Attach Easycraft VJ panels with nail gun and Liquid Nails, then paint.
Step 6
Using a cover panel the same colour as the flatpack, cut to size and attach the side of the wardrobe to give the illusion of a built-in wardrobe. Cut Oak ledge to size and complete painting, making sure to caulk and fill any gaps around the wardrobe cover panels.
Step 7
Paint and reinstall skirting in front of panelling. Install custom shutters.
