Overlays let you transform your IKEA furniture from plain to chic. You can either attach these overlays in their natural white finish, or get creative and paint the overlays first. Want a complete transformation? Paint your IKEA furniture and then paint these overlays a complementary or contrasting color before attaching. Overlays are constructed from a PVC foam composite that is durable and light weight.
This DIY idea lets you get as creative as you like with your IKEA furniture.
Select appropriate overlay for your IKEA furniture
Clean furniture surface clean with damp cloth (use slightly soapy water for persistent dirt or build up) and wipe dry with a clean dry cloth.
Use Liquid Nails 100% Clear Silicone Adhesive to attch overlays to furniture. See video below to see how. Liquid Nails is readily available at most home improvement and hardware stores.

Suggestions:
You can paint your furniture to match your decor concepts before attaching overlays (allow furniture paint to dry thoroughly before attaching overlays).
Consider painting the overlays a complimentary or contrasting color to the furniture before applying. Paint overlays with paints for plastic, like Rustoleum or Krylon spray paints.
