Hello everyone, I currently have a Billy shelf from Ikea that I really like, but unfortunately, some unsightly scratches have appeared on the surface. Now I am wondering whether I should try to repair these scratches myself using household remedies or if it’s worth investing in professional paint or a professional repair. For me, sustainability and a long-lasting result are especially important, but of course, I don’t want to cause unnecessary expenses. Does anyone have experience with which method works best for Billy shelves? Are there any specific household remedies that actually help, or is the furniture so sensitive that it’s easy to cause further damage? I would appreciate it if you could share your opinions or tips.
Thank you for your feedback! To summarize, for minor scratches, furniture care sticks and wax kits are the best and most affordable option. For deeper damage and color differences, it’s better to consider a professional-grade varnish or at least a water-based varnish. The shelf hasn’t been in use for very long, so I’ll first try a repair kit. I’ll report back if anyone is interested! 🙂
