Choice of color solution
So, if you decided to repaint the kitchen set and decide what color it will be, be prepared for the fact that you have to change the textiles on the windows and upholstery in upholstered furniture. You can choose one color or several, which becomes very popular, it is important that the color scheme is in harmony with the overall interior.

Neutral solution. This includes all beige varieties, as well as brown, black, gray and white. Combining these colors, it is quite difficult to make a mistake, you just need to carefully combine the dark colors. The most common option: the upper cabinets are light-colored, the lower ones are dark. This combination is more suitable for classic interiors.

Stepwise painting algorithm
How to paint the kitchen set? First you need to remove the doors from the cabinets, all fittings, stained glass or simple mirror rates. If there is PVC film on the surface, remove it with the help of a building dryer. We approach this stage of work very carefully so that there is not the slightest bit left. Then clean the dirt and dust. Now you need to polish the surface using sandpaper fine grit or grinding machine. The plane should be smooth, carefully processed, without minor defects. In the same way we remove the old paint. In addition, you can apply a special liquid to remove paint and varnish. Again, wipe the surface, remove the dust, it is better to use a brush so that the dust does not clog in the gap.
The next step is to treat the surface with a degreasing agent. Give dry, primed plane, applying the solution on the tree. Leave to dry completely, optimally - for 24 hours. To completely remove all irregularities, putty putty. After drying, you need to re-process the sandpaper. After the surface has been completely cleaned up, we start painting.
For perfect coloring, we apply paint by moving the brush or roller in one direction, no need to rush. If you use a series of tones, seal the boundaries with masking tape. Of course, painting from the aerosol will be more accurate. Here we must remember that during the work a part of the material will be sprayed to the sides. Therefore, it is necessary to cover everything around with foil so that paint does not get caught. For a more saturated color, you can paint it again after the first layer is completely dry.
After all the work we have done, we attach the fittings, we insert the glass, we hang the cabinets. It was so easy and simple to get the original kitchen set, which we reconstructed by ourselves.
The final stage - decorating
Many people want the kitchen to be unique and comfortable. Not everyone has the opportunity to change the headset to a new one.It is best to update the unpleasant looking furniture with decorating.
In addition to staining, the facades can be put in order with the help of a self-adhesive film, its choice is very rich - a variety of colors, various patterns imitating wood. The material is applied to the treated surface and leveled with a special spatula. If in the process of work bubbles appear, they are pierced and pressed to the plane. If the film is stuck crookedly, with "wrinkles", remove it and glue another piece.
Do not want a film, use wallpaper. The plane is pre-processed - polished, primed. After complete drying paste the wallpaper. Then varnish to protect the surface.
Want an original kitchen set, use decoupage. Here you can use dekupazhnye cards or napkins with a pattern, you can take a variety of pictures, cut from magazines, print any pattern on the printer. Images are placed on the facades, glued on the PVA, leave to dry completely. At the end we cover with transparent varnish in several layers.
Diversity can be made if you stick a mosaic, tile or decorative plinth - moldings. Details of the required length are glued to the surface, forming a frame.
You can choose any method, in addition to the restoration of the headset, you can update the dining area by replacing the upholstery on chairs, stools, or stitching covers on them. You can also apply an image to the surface of the table using the decoupage style.
