Rejuvenate your storage solutions with a little bit of paint.

The penultimate episode of season two's Changing Rooms, in partnership with Dulux, showed upcycling expert and interior designer, Micaela Sharp, renovating her room with stunning, bold colours.

The team tackled wardrobe upcycling, turning a shabby cabinet into a beautiful storage solution.

'When our cabinets and drawers are looking tired and haggard, it can be very tempting to simply get rid – but there’s nothing more rewarding than re-falling in love with furniture thanks to your own handiwork,' says Marianne Shillingford, Creative Director at Dulux. 'Upcycling has really taken off since sustainable shopping has become a greater part of our collective consciousness, so not only is jazzing up your existing furniture a fun and creative way to spend a day, it's also benefitting our planet.'

If you want to give your own room a budget-friendly refresh, follow this step-by-step by Marianne on how to upcycle old wardrobes.

1. Firstly, lightly sand the surface of the wardrobe using a flexible sanding pad. This will help to soften the surface and help adhesivity.

2. Set the borders of the shape with a low-tac masking tape for delicate surfaces, ensuring the lines are equal width across the surface.

3. Seal the tape with the base colour you'd like to use – this will ensure a crisp line and it avoids the paint seeping.

4. 'Using a paint brush, pop some primer onto a paint tray – I recommend Dulux Difficult Surfaces Primer, as lots of furniture isn't made with real wood. This primer ensures the best adhesion to multiple surface types,' Marianne suggests.

5. Apply one coat of primer, distributing it evenly across the wardrobe and making sure to paint over the masking tape for a clean, crisp line.

6. Once the primer has dried, follow with Dulux Quick Dry Satinwood paint (Raspberry Diva is used here) and use the same technique as the primer. Again, use the roller for the bigger surface areas and a paintbrush for the crevices.

7. 'Pull the masking tape off before it's completely dry, as this is when the tape is more flexible and doesn’t pull the paint off,' advises Marianne.

8. And, voila! Now you can show off your creative craftsmanship to all your family and friends.
