Why Flatpack Paint Studio

Your IKEA, in your color. None of the work.

You found the perfect PAX or BILLY. We hand it back painted exactly the way your room needs it, so you get the custom look without the weekend of prep.

Any color, to match any decor

Choose from popular favorites or bring any paint color you love from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Farrow & Ball and more. Then pick the sheen, from Flat to High Gloss. Your furniture finally matches your room, not the other way around.

No sanding, priming or painting

Skip the prep, the fumes, the drop cloths and the lost weekends. We sand, prime and paint every piece, so all you do is assemble and enjoy.

Delivered straight to your door

No hauling flat-packs or finding a place to let paint cure. Your freshly painted pieces arrive at your home, ready to put together.

Small-Batch Craft

Inside Our Workshop

A look at how every piece is checked, prepped, sprayed, and cured by hand, one small batch at a time. Images are illustrative of our process.

Unboxing & Inspection

Each component is unboxed and checked by hand under a work light for surface flatness, chips, and factory defects before any paint touches it.

Sanding & Priming

We scuff-sand the factory laminate with vacuum-assisted sanders to keep dust down, then apply a bonding primer so the paint grips and doesn't peel.

Spraying & Curing

Each piece is sprayed with an HVLP sprayer in a draped, filtered spray area for an even coat, then left to cure on drying racks before final inspection and packing.
