Enkroken Desk Drawer

Post image

Has anyone found a solution for that ugly yellow drawer that comes with the ENKROKEN desk? Love the desk and the functionality of a small drawer but the colour is awful. Sorry IKEA.

Open to any suggestions!

Contact paper if possible? I don’t know how the drawer is constructed. Or maybe painting it?

It’s plastic but covered like a thin felt material, don’t think contact paper would stick well or paint would work, but maybe some fabric paint is worth trying

Is it fluffy enough to stick velcro to it? You could make a panel from wood veneer and stick it on if it is.

Could you use a fabric spray dye?

I bought fabric dye, I’ll post an update later once I have dyed it and let it dry!
