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.

And here’s how to achieve that granite styling on your side tables:
Preparation
You have everything you need? Then get started!
Step 1
Determine the dimensions of the rectangular tabletop or the diameter if the side table has a circular top.
Step 2
Transfer the dimensions or the diameter onto the rear side of the d-c-fix Porrinho beige or Porrinho gray-blue adhesive foil using a pencil. Then add a few centimeters of excess and also mark this on the back of the foil.
Step 3
Next, cut the foil to size along the marked lines using the utility knife.
Step 4
Remove the backing paper from the piece of granite-look foil.
Step 5
Apply the foil to the surface of the table and smooth it down firmly using the doctor blade.
Step 6
Now carefully cut off the excess foil along the tabletop edge using the utility knife.
You did it!
