#1 – The personalized hairdresser

A dressing table worthy of a professional! It is made up of 3 separate elements :

• A drawer unit
• A glossy terrazzo effect top
• Two reinforced hairpin legs in black

Overlooked by a Hollywood make-up mirror and adequate storage to store make-up, we love the very chic atmosphere that this piece of furniture gives off. These dimensions, made to measure, are designed to match the corner of the room. Each of the elements is in black but in a different finish; satin for the base, glossy for the top and matt for the furniture.

#2 – A vintage piece of furniture to refresh

Very trendy in the 1970s, this piece of furniture with this shiny wood color took its place in a contemporary interior. To refresh it, 15 cm hairpin legs are used to raise it, the doors are stylish thanks to self-adhesive stickers and the carefully curved handles.

To keep a harmony on the personalization of this piece of furniture, the wood remains the central element and is associated with blue hues as well as touches of black through the details. It is advisable to choose a maximum of 3 colors.

#3 – The black is the new wood

Unlike the previous piece of furniture, the total black atmosphere is adopted here. More subtle than solid colors, a patina has been applied to the facade. The cupboard doors are replaced by grids and the whole of this piece of furniture is raised by fine custom-made rectangular feet in black to avoid contact with the floor for the furniture and above all to highlight it. The details are pushed to the choice of hinges and door knob, also in black. The designs of the wood can be guessed on the top.

The exterior appearance contrasts with the interior of the furniture itself, which is left raw. Surrounded by other vintage objects, it finds its place.

#4 – A bedside table in harmony

Customized to match other furniture, this bedside table is made up of a drawer with a cane door and topped with 4 golden conical feet in 15 cm. Perfect for storing your nighttime essentials and dressing it up with a bedside lamp in the same tones.

This piece of furniture harmonizes with the box spring and the headboard, also in canework with golden touches.

#5 – A horizontal industrial locker cabinet

This piece of furniture is originally 3 industrial cloakroom lockers arranged horizontally. The upper door is no longer there. It was deleted to make way for an empty space. A wooden board closes the hole to create an insert and slide objects. Two wooden planks cover the upper part and one of the sides of the furniture to give it more character. This warms up this industrial piece of furniture. To sublimate and enhance it, custom slender rectangle legs elevate this creation.

Here is a diverted and personalized piece of furniture to become an industrial sideboard.

#6 – An ikea hack for vinyl furniture

The Swedish giant is present in many interiors. We are used to seeing it in its raw state and so this so common piece of furniture is forgotten.

It is here personalized to suit its new use: a vinyl piece of furniture. 2 doors close the central part to create hidden storage. 4 conical feet 40 cm in copper color enhance the KALLAX, to place the disc player on top and have it within easy reach.

This banal piece of furniture becomes design and unique in addition to being useful !

#7 – The massive sideboard brought up to date

These sideboards, so famous in our grandparents' homes with their dark wood and shiny varnish, are of very good quality but very (too) massive. With a few small improvements, it will again take its place in today's interior.

Here, the upper and lower part connected by sculpted and worked uprights from another era is replaced by 2 fine custom-made black rectangular legs.

To break this old look, the two units are painted black and a long board covers the top of the base unit. This brings a warm side to this all-black piece of furniture. All like the golden handles for the bright side.

#8 – A personalized piece of furniture hides another

Personalization is in the details. Here, this black buffet-type piece of furniture and the black console in the background are part of the same codes, yet they remain two very distinct pieces of furniture. Each is enhanced thanks to golden hairpin legs of different heights and a wooden plank in the same essence to dress the upper part. Golden buttons take position on the doors to match the legs.

Modern and full of charm, these two new features now sit in the living room on either side of the front door.

#9 – A workbench transformed into a coffee table

The diversion of furniture is a very good way to have personalized and unique furniture.< This coffee table is basically a carpentry workbench patinated by time. Only the upper part is kept and then dressed in 3 A legs, 40 cm in copper color.

In this interior so white, strong markers stand out like this coffee table or this wine cellar with a white back. What to emphasize on specific pieces in a decoration.

#10 – A 100% personalized BESTA

• Canework doors and a molding adorn its facade

We are a fan of this piece of furniture !

#11 – When a piece of furniture becomes a bar

This high table leaning on the window is made from a BESTA piece of furniture.

The furniture itself is personalized with paint, a cutout in the doors, the addition of caning, the addition of buttons. For the bar part, a board is placed on part of the furniture on one side and on the other side 2 custom tapered gold legs take place.

Small touches of gold illuminate this piece of furniture.

#12 – The sideboard becomes a TV stand

Of this large old piece of furniture, only the upper part has been kept to create a TV cabinet with storage to put a few books in and hide the internet boxes and the like behind the doors. The upper part of the furniture is deliberately not painted but simply protected by a varnish to leave the wood raw. 4 hairpin legs 15 cm black enhance the piece of furniture to visually lighten it.
