DIY Dresser Makeover That Looks Like Stacked Travel Trunks

DIY Dresser Makeover That Looks Like Stacked Travel TrunksEvery drawer tells a story with one of pastel journeys and places yet to be explored.

Painted in bright shades of pink, mint, peach, and cream, this dresser wears its new identity proudly, like a stack of old travel trunks waiting by a train station.

The handles, now styled like suitcase grips, invite you to tug and see what’s inside.

It’s furniture, yes, but it’s also a daydream in disguise, one that takes you places without ever leaving your room.

Materials Needed

  • 1 wooden dresser with multiple drawers
  • Acrylic or chalk paint in several bright colors
  • Clear sealer or wax
  • Vintage-style latches and suitcase handles
  • Small screws and drill
  • Painter’s tape
  • Optional: decorative rivet tacks

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Lightly sand your dresser to help the paint stick. Then wipe it clean before you begin.

Step 2: Choose a different color for each drawer, painting them carefully with acrylic or chalk paint. Let each coat dry before adding a second for richer coverage.

Step 3: Once dry, add decorative details with painter’s tape such as stripes, corners, or trim lines to mimic suitcase seams.

Step 4: Attach suitcase-style handles and vintage latches to each drawer. Make sure they’re secure but positioned evenly.

Step 5: Seal the dresser with a protective coat of wax or clear sealer to keep the colors vibrant.

Step 6: Style your new dresser with travel memorabilia on top including a globe, an old map, or a few postcards to complete the look.

Tips:

This makeover works especially well with thrifted dressers that need a second life.

If you want to push the travel theme further, stencil vintage luggage tags or city names on the sides.
