Transforming Your Trofast: A Creative Way to Upscale Your IKEA Unit

Upscaling your IKEA Trofast storage unit can be a fun and creative project that allows you to customise the unit to better suit your needs and style. Here are some steps to help you upscale your Trofast storage unit using paint.

Step 1. Gather Your Materials:

  • IKEA Trofast storage unit

  • Sandpaper

  • Primer

  • Paint or stain of your choice

  • Paintbrushes or a paint roller

  • Decorative Toddle&Play Trofast Decals


  • Step 1: Disassemble (if necessary): If your Trofast storage unit is already assembled, you may need to disassemble it to make the upscaling process easier. Remove the bins and take apart the frame if applicable.

  • Step 2: Sand and Prep: Sand the surfaces of the Trofast to create a smooth, paint-ready surface. Wipe away any dust with a clean cloth. If you're using a primer, apply it evenly and let it dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  • Step 3: Paint or Stain: Choose a paint or stain color that matches your decor or personal style. Apply several coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next one. This may take several hours or even days, depending on the type of paint or stain you're using.

  • Step 3: Add your Toddle&Play Decals: Finish off your look by adding our decorative decals. Our decals give your storage unit a unique and personalised look, even better if you let your little one choose their favourite design.

  • Step 5: Reassemble (if applicable): If you disassembled the Trofast unit earlier, reassemble it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure all parts are secure.

  • Step 6: Organise and Style: Once your Trofast storage unit is fully upscaled and dry, start organising your items in the bins. Consider using wooden storage labels to help keep things tidy and organised - these work beautifully situated with our decals

  • Step 7: Maintenance: Keep your upscaled Trofast unit looking great by cleaning it regularly and addressing any wear or damage promptly.


Remember to exercise caution when using paint, stain, and other materials, and follow all safety instructions and precautions provided by the product manufacturers. With a bit of creativity and effort, you can transform your IKEA Trofast storage unit into a stylish and functional piece of furniture that suits your space perfectly.
