Start by selecting a piece of furniture you want to transform. It could be anything from an old chair to a bedside table that has seen better days. Don't hesitate to tackle an item that seems outdated – that's the whole point of the project!Decorative film is available in a variety of patterns and colors, so the choice is yours. Do you want a subtle change, or are you after something that really stands out? Choose a decorative film that reflects your style and fits the room where the furniture will be placed.


Proper preparation is key to a successful project. Clean the furniture thoroughly and ensure the surface is smooth and free from damage. If there are scratches or unevenness, lightly sand the surface to get an even base to work with. 

 Cut the decorative film to the desired size, making sure you have a little extra on each side for adjustment if needed. Remove the protective paper and start carefully applying the film from one corner, ensuring that there are no air bubbles. Use a soft cloth or a squeegee to smooth out the film as you apply it.


Once the decorative film is in place, use a sharp knife or scissors to trim off the excess film. Be meticulous in creating clean and straight lines for a professional finish.
