Does anyone know if it’s possible to either:
Paint the back of chests of drawers which have chipboard as a backing, (it would have to be special paint, wouldn’t it, as chipboard doesn’t react well to moisture),
Or, better still, if they can be clad with a thin veneer type product?
The reason I’m asking is that we are changing some furniture in a bedroom with fitted, but two chests of drawers, which are in perfectly good condition, will sit nicely on our landing. The only problem is, their backs, which are made with chipboard, are visible as they are resting against the landing staircase, and so their backs stick out a bit like a sore thumb.
The drawers are a mahogany colour, but the wood chip is really much lighter, it wasn’t stained to match.
I do not want to get rid of these drawers, they are in perfectly good condition, and I’m averse to sending to landfill things I can still make use of, but I would like to hide the chipboard backing, with something that looks a bit more like wood, hence the idea of wood-like cladding, if this is possible.
It’s looking like a trip to our local B & Q, but I wondered if any of you DIY GN’s have any good suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Hives , Can anyone explain the reason ?
