It can be a challenge to find unique prints on furniture that don’t cost a fortune. We won’t settle for plain and neither should you! Check out our easy and inexpensive DIY peel & stick wallpaper nightstand guide.

DIY Peel & Stick Wallpaper Nightstand

The Supplies

• nightstand: IKEA in white – $49.99
• Sakanaphotography zebra print peel & stick wallpaper in navy – 1(30” x 48”)
• 2 frame decals
• white primer paint
• coral acrylic paint
• 2 flat paint brushes
• clear Elmer's glue
• tape measure
• scissors

How To

Prime one side of the two frame decals, then apply two to three coats of the coral acrylic paint. Make sure to apply to the raised edges of the frame. Let dry.

While decals are drying, measure the top and two sides of the nightstand and cut wallpaper to size. Peel and stick!

Expert tip: Start at one end and peel as you go for a smooth application.

Measure the face of each drawer plus its 4 edges and cut wallpaper to size. Peel & stick! Wrap any excess paper evenly around the drawer’s corners and edges.     

Add clear Elmer's glue to the back of the decals and center on each drawer.
