ark varnish
tends to date
otherwise
sound timber
furniture, but
making it much more ‘now’
is only a matter of using
the right materials. For this
tired bedside, we chose a
super-tactile look: chalky
matt paint over primer
formulated for covering
glossy surfaces, textured
paintable wallpaper and
chic leather and brass pulls.
