The IKEA Malm dresser is a popular and affordable storage solution for many homes. While it's a practical piece, the basic look can feel a bit bland. Luckily, there are some easy and inexpensive DIY hacks to give your Malm dresser a serious style upgrade without spending much at all.
Peel-and-Stick adhesive dresser fronts from Norse
One of the quickest ways to transform the look of your Malm dresser is with peel-and-stick adhesive fronts or overlays. These peel-and-stick covers allow you to change out the plain dresser fronts for a fresh new look.
The IKEA Malm Dresser
The adhesive dresser fronts from Norse come in many styles, from realistic wood grain laminates to fun colors and patterns. For a high-end look on a budget, consider wood grain or natural material adhesives like wood veneers. Or go bold with a pop of color or graphic pattern. With stick-and-peel covers, the design possibilities are endless.
The application process is easy - clean your existing fronts, peel the backing off the new adhesive cover, and carefully smooth it into place. It's a removable, non-permanent change, so you can switch up the look again whenever you want.

Other Malm hacks under $50
Another affordable and trendy hack is elevating your Malm dresser onto a simple platform base. This raises the piece 4-6 inches off the floor, giving it a more elevated, intentional look.
All you need are four basic furniture risers or legs rated for the weight of your dresser. Carefully lay your dresser down and screw the risers into the underside of each corner, making sure they are level and load-bearing. Once standing tall, the dresser has an updated mid-century modern vibe with a light, floating effect.
Another easy upgrade is swapping out the existing hardware for new drawer pulls or knobs. This subtle change lets you refresh the dresser's look while putting your personal stamp on the piece. Consider metallic finishes like brushed brass or matte black to add an on-trend edge.
