Awesome radiance: Your side tables in a granite look!

The outdoor season has finally arrived! And with it, we’re all looking forward to a wonderful sunny time on the balcony or terrace. Practical seating, a dining table and side tables are essential for enjoying a great time with friends and family. So here’s a summer upcycling idea to make your side tables a huge success with a granite look. With the d-c-fix Porrinho adhesive foils in a beige or gray-blue granite look, the table surfaces are lent a trendy natural stone appearance to turn them into chic helpers for the balcony. Tip: to enjoy the new granite look for a long time to come, protect the tables from rain and moisture as these can damage the covering.
