Hello everyone,
I have a Kallax shelf from Ikea in my apartment, positioned right next to a window that receives a lot of sunlight from morning until afternoon. I’ve noticed that the surface of the shelf in those areas gradually discolors over time, appearing significantly lighter than the rest – typical of UV-related fading.
My question for you is: Have you experienced similar effects of strong sunlight on Kallax shelves? How does it show on your furniture, and what steps have you taken to prevent or fix these discolorations? Are special UV-protection films or wood care products effective?
I would really appreciate it if you could share your experiences, as I don’t want to just wait until the shelf looks completely worn out. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
