Step 3: Choose the colors<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tinidoo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pieds-de-couleur-pour-commode-bebe.jpg” alt=”pieds de couleur pour commode b\u00e9b\u00e9” title_text=”pieds-de-couleur-pour-commode-bebe” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
For a harmonious result, it’s essential to choose your colors wisely.<\/span><\/span> Here are some tips: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n- Complementary palette<\/strong>: Opt for colors that complement each other, such as blue, yellow, and gray.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

1. Masking <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Use masking tape to mark off areas<\/strong> where you don’t want the paint to bleed through.<\/span><\/span> Consider geometric patterns or horizontal\/vertical sections to add character.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
2. Painting <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Start with the lightest color to avoid mistakes.<\/span><\/span> Apply a first coat, let it dry, then add a second coat<\/strong> if necessary.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
3. Detailing <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Once the main colors are dry, use a brush for finishing touches and details.<\/span><\/span> Feel free to add patterns or shapes<\/strong> to further personalize your dresser.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”19px||21px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
