Adding some fresh paint to a bedside table is a simple and cost-effective way to brighten up any bedroom. A statement bedside table with cheery colours can instantly add interest to a space.

Or pick your own favourite colours and add some small decorative pieces to complement your selected theme and tie it all together. This great project can be completed in just three hours, and with only a few products required, it’s kind to the hip pocket too! Before you get started, take a look at the shopping list below to ensure that you have all the products and equipment you need for a professional finish.
Ensure you have the correct equipment
You will need:
1. Prep
Begin by laying down your drop sheet before thoroughly cleaning your bedside table using Accent Sugar Soap. Next, lightly sand the front of the drawers.
2. Mask
Use the masking tape and newspaper to carefully cover all the areas you don’t want sprayed. Remember to take your time with this step, as overspray can ruin a project. Correct masking is key to preventing any problems.
3. Spray A
It’s important to shake the can of Accent Quick Spray for at least one minute before you start spraying the surface area. Always wear a dust mask when spray painting and spray in a well ventilated area. Spray the first drawer using a smooth, even technique and always apply several light mist coats instead of one heavier coat. Heavier coats can cause the paint to run, compromising the finish.
4. Spray B
Repeat step three with your second colour and allow the drawers to dry completely before reassembling them.
