Repair always requires a lot of time, effort and financial costs. When kitchen furniture is outdated or has ceased to please the eye, it is difficult to choose the best option for a headset that is affordable and has a bright design. You can radically update the old kitchen set yourself, at the minimum cost of money.
Self-adhesive film is the most simple and financially profitable way. With its help, you can change the color, add bright patterns or ornament.
Materials:
- sandpaper or solvent;
- roulette;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- rubber roller.
The surface of the headset must be thoroughly cleaned of dirt, grease stains and plaque. For wooden surfaces sandpaper is suitable, for plastic - solvent. Using a tape measure, we measure the dimensions of the cabinets and doors on which the film will be glued. We put marks on the wrong side of the material. For added convenience, it shows squares of 1 * 1 size. Cut with scissors or a clerical knife.
IMPORTANT!When affixing marks should be left about a centimeter for allowances.
Now you can proceed to gluing the cleaned surfaces. It is recommended to stick the film from the bottom up, gradually removing the wrong paper layer. This will help to avoid the appearance of air bubbles, which are very difficult to get rid of. At the end of the process, additionally smooth the film with a rubber roller. The decoration process is over.
REFERENCE!When choosing a pattern with an ornament, carefully make sure that the texture of all lines coincides.
Paint, like film, will help to completely change the interior of the kitchen. It is recommended to use chalk paint, as it lies flat on the surface, and the service life is much longer.
Instruments:
- special primer for chalk paints;
- acrylic varnish (moisture resistant);
- paint;
- brushes;
- sandpaper or solvent.
All processed surfaces are cleaned with sandpaper or degreaser. Fittings should be removed. After cleaning, we lay the primer in 2 layers.
ATTENTION!Apply a second layer only after the first has completely dried.
When the primer has dried, you can start painting. The material should be applied in several layers (minimum 2-3), after complete drying of the previous one. The final step is varnishing. Using a brush, apply a thin layer of varnish to the painted surface. A minimum of 3 layers is recommended. Drying time is about a day. The kitchen is ready.
With the help of decoupage, you can not only update the appearance of the kitchen, but also hide minor damage to furniture: chips, scratches, cracks. Decoupage is very popular in decorating the home, as it allows you to emphasize the preferences of the owner.
Materials:
- degreaser or sandpaper;
- napkins or cards for decoupage (many use a fabric with a bright pattern);
- glue;
- scissors;
- thin brushes;
- acrylic lacquer.
As in the methods described above, all surfaces are cleaned of contaminants. Using scissors, we cut out the drawings for decoration. With a thin brush, grease the wrong side with glue and apply it to the surface of the drawer or door.
ATTENTION!It is recommended to use brushes made of squirrel material.
Carefully smooth out the drawings on the plane. Excess glue can be removed with a damp cloth or a soft foam sponge. After the glue has completely dried, acrylic varnish in 2-3 layers is applied to the drawers.
REFERENCE!Drawings for decoupage can be cut out and make their approximate location on the headset. This will help to carry out work procedures faster.
Many housewives come to the process creatively, complementing the interior of the kitchen with various decorative elements. These can be small crafts that significantly transform the look of any kitchen. You can buy such in specialized stores, where a wide range of choices is presented. With a little effort and imagination, you can make crafts and decorative elements with your own hands. They will be distinguished by individuality, and the owners will help in the development of creative skills.
For example, monotonous household appliances can be decorated with bright stickers depicting flowers, colorful birds or funny inscriptions. To do this, degrease the walls and stick the stickers in accordance with the attached instructions. This will add brightness and personality to any kitchen.
A beautiful addition to the countertop will be a stand for bottles of wine made of a wide board and canvas ropes. On the board you need to mark the labels for the holes located at the edges at the same distance from each other (make sure that the distance between them is slightly less than a standard bottle of wine). We drill holes by marks. We thread the rope and tie it into a strong knot from the wrong side. The rope should be slightly loose so that you can insert the bottom on one side and the neck of the bottle on the other. Such an original bottle stand will decorate any kitchen.
On the walls you can place pictures with the original drawing or instructions. The most creative way is to decorate the walls with your own painting.
The kitchen is one of the main places in any home. Here, not only the cooking process takes place, but also the whole family gathers for their favorite celebrations. Any headset eventually loses its relevance and attractive appearance, which significantly impairs the design of the entire room. Converting a kitchen set is easy on your own, using a few simple decorating tips.
