Flatpack furniture can be a game-changer — but only if you know how to build it without losing your mind. With the right hacks, you’ll turn that box of panels into a polished, professional piece in no time.
At Decorum & Co, we don’t just sell flatpack — we make it. As Proudly South African Furniture Flatpack Manufacturers, we’ve seen what works and what frustrates. Here’s how to do it right:
🔧 1. Prep Your Space First
Find a clean, open area with a soft surface to prevent scratches. Keep pets and kids away during setup — trust us.
💡 2. Let There Be Light
Good lighting helps with alignment, part recognition, and avoiding errors. A simple desk lamp works wonders.
🧩 3. Sort & Label Screws
Use muffin trays or small bowls. Label each set using post-its for easy access while building.
4. Use the Manual + Watch the Video
Our instruction manuals are included, but you can also scan the QR code on your box for a video guide. (Insert video thumbnail or QR code image)
5. Lay Everything Out Like a Puzzle
Arrange all parts in the approximate shape of the final product — it’ll help you visualise before screwing anything in.
6. Don’t Rush — Build with Intention
Building your own furniture is empowering. That’s why we say: every flatpack from Proudly South African Furniture Flatpack Manufacturers is a project you can take pride in.
