Look at how interior designer, Audrey Crisp, was able to easily transform a simple Malm dresser in her son's room, into a beautifully customized piece. Here, Audrey used the Eleanor drawer fronts in white lace, and added the Elisabeth brass knobs.

You can achieve this look for your Malm dresser with a few easy steps (and if you prefer to watch instead of reading, please check out our Malm Assembly Video):

 

1. Attach screws in the top and the second-to-last hole in each row, on the back of the drawer front. Tighten the screws until they are secure add the dowels in the remaining holes. Finally, add the plastic locks in each corner at the back of the drawer front.

 

 

2. Fit the front to the drawer, by connecting the screws and the dowels in the corresponding holes, until it is flat against the drawer.

 

 

3. On the sides of the drawers place the locks in the holes, with the drill groove facing outward. Turn the locks to secure the screws.

 

 

And that's it! Just three steps and now you have a wonderful customized piece of furniture. The drawer fronts are great if you want to add character and a touch of your personality into your room.

 

Now, if you want to take that extra step and add a pull or knob, don't worry, adding one of these to your Malm dresser is just as easy.

 

1. Decide where you want to place the pull or knob. 

 

 

2. Use a pen to mark the holes on the drawer front, penetrating the page. Drill, using a 3/16” drill bit, from the outside in and place a firm material to on the inside to drill into. If you don’t drill into something you run a higher risk or chipping the paint. Don't use excessive force. Attach the knob or pull with the screws in the package from the inside.

 

 

See? Installing the knobs is also so simple, just drilling into a template. Another great way to show off your personality through your furniture. Who knew installing something so easy could create such an amazing outcome for your room.
