Customer Homes: real makeover ideas

Suitability depends on the specific product and the existing surface. Compare the material, coating and condition of the surface with the product specifications.

Measure the fronts, sides, panels and visible edges individually. Note any cut-outs, handle holes and the desired direction of the design, rather than using only the overall dimensions of the furniture.

Add up the dimensions of all the intended sections and take into account the edges required for the product and project, as well as a reasonable cutting allowance. Check the format and scope of delivery on the product page.

Before cutting, define a direction and number the doors and drawers. This makes it possible to continue wood, stone or linear looks consistently across adjacent surfaces.

That depends on the furniture and the project. Removable parts often make it easier to measure and work on edges; follow the assembly instructions for the furniture and the product.

The surface should be suitable according to the product specifications, clean, dry, and free of any residue that could interfere. Always test sensitive or unclear surfaces first in an inconspicuous area.

Film does not automatically compensate for structural damage. Loose coatings, raised areas or deep damage may remain visible and must be professionally assessed beforehand.

The binding instructions are provided with the respective product. The pages on measuring furniture, choosing the right film and planning the installation also provide helpful information.

Measure the width and height of a single tile and count the areas required. Also document edge pieces, sockets, cut-outs and the position of the joints.

That depends on the specific product. Check the product format, appearance, and installation instructions before planning the quantity and order.

Check the approved area of use for the specific product. Moisture, heat, direct exposure to water and the substrate vary depending on the location in the room.

Measure the position and outer dimensions of each cutout and determine the installation sequence in advance. Work on electrical components should be carried out by qualified professionals.

Clean the surface according to the product instructions and allow it to dry completely. Grease, limescale, dust or loose residue can affect the result.

Count all the tiles you plan to cover and allow for edge pieces as well as a project-appropriate reserve. The decisive factors are the tile dimensions and the scope of delivery of the selected product.

Determine the starting point, order, and direction of the decorative pattern before laying the first tile. If the product has a visible repeat, first lay out several elements in the planned sequence.

Follow the care instructions for the specific product. Do not use untested tools or cleaning products that could damage the surface or edges.

Check the product label, receipt or assembly instructions. Also compare the external dimensions, number of components, drill holes and visible edges with the product description.

Series can include different sizes, generations, and versions. For a reliable match, the model variant and dimensions must correspond to the product being offered.

This is only the case if the product description covers this model and the relevant dimensions match. Measure your existing furniture before placing your order.

The scope of delivery is determined by the title, product description, and selection options. Fronts, sides, cover panels, doors, or inserts may be separate products.

Use the general furniture film category and plan the surface based on its actual dimensions. Check the format, substrate and processing of the selected product there.

That depends on the furniture and the surface in question. Removable parts can make it easier to align and work on edges; follow the instructions for the furniture and the film product.

Document whether the furniture is assembled vertically or horizontally, with the left or right side facing out. Also check doors, drawers and inserts that alter the visible surfaces.

Maison Mavune offers products for correspondingly designated furniture models. Check the specific compatibility and dimensions on the respective product page.

Count the cubes across and down and measure the existing shelving unit. Take into account whether it is positioned vertically or horizontally and which inserts are installed.

Not automatically. Check the title, images and scope of delivery to see which surfaces the selected product is intended for.

Inserts and their fronts are only included if they are explicitly listed in the scope of delivery. Order the shelf unit and inserts separately.

Determine the quantity based on the version, number of intended cubes, and the surfaces described in the product details. Compare the product format and scope of delivery before ordering.

The orientation affects the viewing direction and the flow of the design. Decide on the final orientation before cutting or assembly and check whether the product is shown in a suitable position for this.

Lay out all the intended elements in their final order and mark their positions. This keeps the direction and transitions across adjacent cubes easy to follow.

Plan the carcass and inserts as separate components. Whether removal is necessary or advisable depends on the furniture, product and accessible edges.

Use the IKEA hacks, furniture makeovers and before/after pages, then navigate from there to the relevant KALLAX category.

Suitability depends on the surface, coating, and product. Compare the existing surface with the information on the product page.

Measure the actual available wall space and take furniture, doors, windows, and viewing distance into account. Mark out the planned outer contour at its original size to check the proportions.

Use the center of the furniture, the wall axis or another visible reference line. Check the position from several viewing angles and allow sufficient distance from edges and light fixtures.

Heavy textures can affect the contact surface. The instructions for the specific product are decisive; test unclear surfaces in an inconspicuous area.

Observe the complete drying and curing time of the wall paint used, as well as the product specifications. A wall that is dry on the surface is not necessarily fully cured.

The surface should be suitable according to the product specifications, clean, dry, and free of dust or loose particles. Plan the position and alignment before removing the backing material.

The result depends on the product, surface, wall coating, and length of use. Check the product-specific information and proceed with particular care on delicate walls.

Take the bed, play area, furniture height and any future rearrangements into account. Choose the design and position so that the wall décor also looks great from typical eye levels.

Use the available wall space and the width of the furniture as a guide. Mark out the outer dimensions of the planned format before making your decision.

Connect the motifs through their color scheme, theme, frames, format, or recurring spacing. A main motif can provide a clear starting point for the arrangement.

Lay the pictures out on the floor or work with full-size paper templates. Check the outer contour, spacing and sightline before marking the mounting points.

This depends solely on the respective product description and the selected format. Please check the scope of delivery and the specifications before placing your order.

Display settings, ambient light, and photography lighting affect how colors are displayed. Compare multiple product and detail views and take the existing room color into account.

There is no universal height. Align the center of the picture with the usual eye level and, when placing it above furniture, also consider the distance from the top edge of the furniture.

Use a shared axis or recurring gaps. Distribute large, dark, or high-contrast motifs so that the overall group remains visually balanced.

Choose a format, motif and position that suit the room, furniture and viewing height. A flexible group of pictures can be supplemented or rearranged more easily later.
