Whether you’re a DIYer who likes to change up the look of your furniture, a renter who can’t afford to redo a fixture in their apartment or just want to give an old piece of furniture a refresh, there are several ways to update your furniture without the hassle. One of those options is using Contact Paper!
Contact Paper is essentially peel and stick wallpaper that comes in many different patterns, colors and textures. It’s an excellent way to give any item a new lease on life, no matter how old it is!
It’s also a fun, easy way to add a little color and design to your furniture. Try it on a dresser, chest of drawers or even your headboard for a subtle but stylish upgrade.
How to Install Furniture Decorative Paper
When it comes to printing decorative papers for furniture, the most important step is selecting the base paper. The paper must be of uniform weight and good opacity to allow for optimal coverage. It also needs to have good light fastness, pure color and adequate wet and dry strength.
How to Print a Furniture Decorative Paper
Printed furniture decorative paper is made by engraving different designs on the surface of paper using printing cylinders and color matching technology. These cylinders are usually embossed with light or dark patterns to create a beautiful furniture pattern that is sure to make any piece of furniture look great.
The cylinders can be made from a variety of materials, but most manufacturers use plain paper. The color of the paper will determine how many cylinders are needed to create the desired effect.
What is the most effective method to apply furniture decorative paper?
When you’re covering a large area of furniture with contact paper, it’s best to use an adhesive spray to help it stick. This will keep it in place while allowing you to move the piece around your home as needed.
After applying the contact paper, you can sand any rough edges to ensure your finish is smooth and even. This will make it look more professional, and it’ll help to prevent the paper from sagging over time.
