Ikea hack: Your chic butler on wheels!

Ikea hack: Your chic butler on wheels!

When the next party comes, it’s always in the middle of it: the super practical “Nissafors” serving trolley from Ikea, which you have treated to a summery DIY makeover. The new eye-catching styling is provided by the d-c-fix adhesive foils Uni Lack mint and Ribbeck Oak in a modern wood look. To ensure that everything is transported safely and quietly in the rolling butler, simply use the d-c-fix Function Prime anti-slip mat. Now just pack favorite drinks, glasses and snacks in the serving trolley – and the guests can come.
