Tips to help update your kitchen set. Repair of kitchen furniture with your own hands as you can renovate the kitchen set

For reading required ~ 4 minutes

An old headset is fitted in the size of the kitchen, everything is already accustomed to him. But the trouble: the facades dilapidated, the loops dispersed. It is safe to say that such furniture will last for a very long time if the plywood did not smell or chipboard did not swell from wetting. In this article, tell me how to update the old kitchen headset with your own hands.

Current repairs are carried out according to plan:

• strengthening or replacement of loops (sometimes a loop has to rearrange for a newly drilled nest),
• sealing cracks with subsequent painting, pasting with self-adhesive film,
• decorating facades due to the new kitchen concept,
• full replacement of the table top or thickening it over old.

The headset requires care, repair. The main destroyer of kitchen heads is not the time, but an incorrect installation. The floor curve leads to a doss of the door, loosening the screws of fasteners. Even before decorating the facades, all the cabinets and lockers need to be bought with a horizontal plane.

How to attach a kitchen set by a self-adhesive film

The update method is suitable for headset from laminate. Careful surface preparation will provide tight fit of the film.

It is not necessary to take for the salary immediately, it is necessary to perform the following preparatory work in the exact sequence:

1. Doors remove, inspect against the light. Scraping dried fat burgers, wipe with acetone or White spirit;
2. The detached edges put in place gluing;
3. Seed places to rub the shallow skin, we remove the dust with a vacuum cleaner, we apply an acrylic putty thin layer. After drying, the soda, the ground with the construction ground.
4. Deep damaged places should be cut, outlining a place on the template inserted patch. Insert there can be a bottle plug, wooden veneer, thin plywood. Then make work out of the three items above.
5. The best adjacent will give varnish. An important process for bright film - it is visible to it every defects;
6. Powing begins with the edge of the door (or on the edge of the drawer). Therefore, it should be clean and completely straight.

Counting the area of \u200b\u200bthe purchased film according to the area of \u200b\u200bthe surfaces is not suitable. It is necessary to decide on the sample, based on its width, draw each item to the restoration to be restored, on the scale of 1: 10. Circles, lining will be immediately visible and will not last long. We proceed from the complete cuts, and revealed with the inevitable residue.

Subtleties of the case

• Figure "Tree texture" horizontally and verticals on nearby surfaces looks unnatural. It is better to choose a single direction for all facades.
• "Granite bass" requires less thorough preparation, but the mother-in-law will give any roughness.
• Film must begin to glue from the wrong side, capturing the upper and lower edge, leaving the side edges to complete.
• Purchasing a needle self-keeper on the tubercles it is impossible: dirt and moisture accumulate in the punzes, then the tubercles will increase.
• Very jeed edges can be aligned by planing on them a building PVC corner. From the corner film will fall smaller. Laying under the corner of even sins, you can adjust the gaps.

Replacing facades of old furniture

We unscrew the old facades, remove them, perform measurements of the couch or the suspension cabinet. Corners check the corners. Available overcasts by eliminating, laying angular clamps. Only by newly recovered corners can be determined the exact size of new facades. For two door tumbers and widths from the width, we take 3 mm, for the place of convergence in the middle.

Cut the new laminate - vicious practice. Only a small-scale disk saw at high speed can be avoided. If the home master is taken to do everything yourself, the recommendation is such: it is necessary to remove plastic under the metal line under the metal line, deepen to the chipboard. The plastic is applied along two lines with an indent to the width of the cutting tool (usually 2 mm).

When the chipboard is not removed without chipping, the edge is not tape, but 3D. It must be styled on the chair, giving the size of size along the length of 3 mm (the corners of the shield edge of this type hides). The same allowance - 3 mm - must be considered during the cutting.

How to update old kitchen furniture with your own hands: Painting, Moldings

We decided to change the facades, it is worth paying attention to the excellent material - moisture-resistant Phaneur. It is light, durable even with through propuls, which is important for frame and openwork facades. In addition, two layers of 8 mm can be folded the thickness of 16 mm and not to change the laid sizes of the old chipboard headset.

The required thickness can be dial and molding. Semi-cylindrical, stucco, flat, classic ancient Greek mutules - all these configurations imposed on a spectacular background, will make clear lines, expressive style. Moldings create the effect of milled Victorian style furniture. The weakest place of plywood - edge - protect with wood, for example, birch stationery rules.

Plywood sheets to paint need only in the primer. Previously painted chipboard facades without damage, you can not primitive. A sealed tree is uninstalled. But it can be painted with high-quality acrylic or pentaphthalic paint, smoking independently or on the centrifuge of the caliper center.

Tips on painting

• A pearl acrylic lacquer applied with a rubber spatula is expressed between wide moldings.
• The "Under Tree" pattern is well suited to the wooden floor with the same tint as Molding. The texture is prescribed by two paints - lighter and dark - flusted brush with a thick bristle "for raw".
• Monophonic surfaces will not glisten with paint stripes, if the paint is applied with an airbrush. Without strips, you can paint and roller. The roller must be velor, and painting finish in one direction - rolls only up or only down the headset on the facades.
• The beautiful "under marble" pattern is obtained from brilliant pentaphthalic paint. The roller rolls the background. On the crude layer of several jackets brush pounces spots - bright, bright, with black. All are sharply different from the common background. Kapron plate cut from container, drops are reduced. You can reduce 15 minutes. Then the surfaces are not used 48 hours.

Decorative inserts

Flat plastic inserts, composite marquetry, carved volumetric, chased metal - welcome decor when complying with a certain style. But you can set a unique new style. Distribution found a decoupage that became a total female hobby. Environmentally friendly technologies are famous. Overhead rondo, ovals, boutonnieres, corners and appliqués are created, and sometimes all the headsets are changed to be unrecognizable. Stylistic features of decoupage are wide: from archaic to ultra-modern techno.

Decorating ceramic tiles

What modern master glued the first on the facade the remaining wall tile - a story is silent. But the traditions of the use of ceramics for decorating tables, art enamels on samples from the past. Of course, there can be no speech about the layer of tiled glue under such applications. Thin strips, diamonds are capable of transforming the headset, reliably protect the tree from external influences. The range is so high that it is capable of complementing any style.

A few examples:

For the decoration of facades, lonely flowers "in full growth", rivets, hats of nails and whole still lifes. Any of the tiles before sticking is ground from the reverse side, dried, only then glued to the laminate or tree using the mounting formulations. The glass mosaic on the grids is not needed - they fit immediately.

Decoration by rathank inserts

Colonial, oriental, safari - styles implying structural facades. Rotan weaving replaces the glass, reliably protects the facades from shocks. Moisture palm grilles absorbed without blocking surfaces. Such qualities are extremely important for the kitchen. The assortment is also extremely wide: hexagonal weaving, cross-longitudinal, combined. Plus - all sorts of coloring.

The best varnishes - at the beginning of the list:

• nitrocellulose
• alkyd
• polyurethane
• epoxy
• acrylic.

There is a mass of Nakov "Combi" with a partial addition of certain substances: Shellaca, gils, oils, acrylic suspension. A large variety is associated both in order to improve compositions and with various purposes. It is often necessary to lacken the secondary surfaces containing lecithin (transformed fats). To such a nitrolac will not stick. In any case, the varnishing is the most reliable way to protect the array of wood and paint on the furniture. Do not like the glossy shine - choose a matte composition. You can add particles for spark, tint to taste (transparency decreases from tinting). Selecting the composition and mode of nozzle spraying device, varnish create the effect of rain drops, bubble skin, silk, mica plates.

Some tips on varnishing:

• the first layer should be extremely thin, dried, it is carefully grinding - the high degree of gloss depends primarily on this process;
• the roller for varnishing should be made of fur sustainable diluents, even before using the roller, even new, is checked, the strength of the bristles is checked;
• the same requirement for the brushes;
• randomly falling the pile or bristle brushes are quickly discharged with a seboard;
• the varnishing is performed only in a clean room;
• to avoid splashes, the snot of the pulverizer is trying first on the cardboard and only then the torch is transferred to the stainable surface;
• polyurethane tinted varnish transform ordinary glass into tinted;
• varnish with a small addition of type "chameleon" becomes pearl.

Very important! Spraying of any paint compositions, even acrylic, extremely harmful to respiratory organs. You need to work with the respirator.

Sooner or later, anyone household item is wears and needs to be replaced or improved. It is the restoration of kitchen furniture that is exactly the type of repair that everyone can produce personally without applying expensive materials or technologies.

If your kitchen set regularly fulfills its stated functions, but you began to notice that:

• the hull in the furniture is still strong, satisfies all the necessary requirements, but the appearance of the facades of furniture leaves much to be desired;
• separate parts of the furniture came into disrepair from external influence - the countertop crackled and deformed, traces of hot or fat spots were formed on the surface;
• the headset is simply morally outdated and tired;
• you do not have the opportunity to spend money on the purchase of a more modern set.

It is in this case that restoration is necessary. Repair of kitchen furniture with your own hands is a very real way out of the situation.

Restoration options

There is a lot of ways to give old furniture elegant, updated view. Depending on your own creativity, you can create a real masterpiece of design art from a non-noteworthy style bedside table. And you can simply put the outer side of the kitchen headset. Our advice will help you in the embodiment of your ideas, regardless of the degree of their complexity.

Self-adhesive film

Simple and inexpensive repair option. Apply when you want to quickly and cheap to update the appearance of furniture facades. To date, dozens of variants of self-playing of different quality, colors, at various prices come to sell. Vinyl films on a self-adhesive basis are durable, resistant to moisture and temperature drops, they do not lose their color and do not burn out. In order for the film exactly and high qualityly covered the surface of your furniture, remove the facades, remove the accessories and degrease the surface. Spacking the boards on the horizontal plane, gently remove the protective layer, while simultaneously sprinkling the film with a hand or spatula. The appeared air bubbles can be removed, gently pushing them with a thin metal needle.

If you did not work out the first time correctly stick the film - do not use more damaged piece. When re-applying, the connection of the material with the surface will be even worse, and your furniture will acquire a non-purchased, sloppy view. The photo of the kitchen headset, renovated with the help of self-adhesive film, can be selected in the selection.

Interior stickers

Perhaps the best way to renovate small, local furniture defects. You can choose stickers of various sizes and content. For decorating a kitchen headset, drawings are suitable for restaurant topics - bright fruits, berries, sweets or beautiful dishes. Such stickers are a kind of self-adhesive film, but reduced size. The principle of application is the same - remove the protective layer and gently spread the furniture on the skim surface. If necessary, the drawings can be easily removed by using special degreasers on an alcohol basis.

Decoupage

Decoupage is the most creative way to put in order old kitchen furniture with your own hands. Decoupage technique takes its beginning in Germany of the XV century. Although this method of this method is French and literally means "cut". This is the main principle of the process - cutting out the picture and apply them to the surface. You can decorate everything that has a sufficient plane. It can be dishes, clothes, books, decor items or, as in our case - kitchen furniture. Make such decorations are completely simple and newcomer. It is necessary to choose the basis to your taste. These can be pictures from magazines, photos, paper napkins. Very original kitchen cabinets decorated with old newspapers. Apply a little special glue for the decoupage to the facade and dispense clippings at your own discretion. After full frost (about 8 hours), the surface must be closed.

An interesting decision will be the decoupage of the kitchen table with cutouts from culinary publications. Then, having kicked up your evening tea, you will not only rest, but also with the benefit of time, comprehending new secrets of cook art. Cooking photos decorated in decoupage technique are presented below.

Photo wallpaper

If you have chosen this option to restore kitchen furniture at home, we take seriously to the selection of photo wallpapers for furniture. Do not forget that the kitchen is the place of high humidity and permanent temperature drops. Thus, materials for the restoration of old furniture should be wear-resistant, moisture resistant, not to highlight any harmful evaporation under the action of hot air. Under such criteria, photo wallpapers on a vinyl basis, having an additional protective layer, are optimally suitable. No need to choose a photo wallpaper with silky or linen texture for a kitchen headset. Such materials can quickly absorb smells and stuck with constant contact. It is better to decorate the kitchen with a smooth surface - it will be easier to care for them.

If your headset is located indoors with low ceilings - use the wallpaper with an elongated silhouette in the furniture decor, for example, with towers, high trees or flowers on long stems. All this will help visually increase the height of the room.

Installing a new table top

The countertop is one of the most commonly used kitchen furniture elements. It is on it that we cut products, beat meat, here we put heavy dishes or kitchen appliances. In general, the countertop is exactly the subject of the furniture headset, without which we can not do. Of course, not all material is able to experience such a strong load for a long time. Therefore, to return to our work surface functionality and beauty - we update the worktop. This can be done in several ways:

• decorating with ceramic tiles - clean the wooden surface, with a grinding machine, eliminate all irregularities and defects. After that, apply special glue and lay out the mosaic. The view and thickness of the tile depend on your preferences, but the laying method should be one - very tight, leaving minimal clearances. After the glue dries and the surface is grabbed "tightly" (this will take at least 6 hours), make the stamps of the seams. If desired, it can be covered on top of a varnish - this will give additional attractiveness and serve as a protective layer;
• glass and fillers are an option for extraordinary, creative personalities, which every centimeter of space is trying to make original and unlike. Gently glue to the clean surface of the table top several wooden plates set on the edge. Thus, divide the area into several sectors. Fill the "pockets" by fillers. As fillers, coins, beads, pebbles, seashells or other small items of the same form can act as fillers. From above to all this beauty, lay the hardened shockproof glass. Secure or glue its -Samebred table ready without special costs. Photo countertops with filler can be viewed in a selection with examples;
• color and cover lacquer - the simplest and usual most of us method of repairing an old countertop. Remove the remains of the lacquer from furniture using sandpaper, degrease and cover the entire surface of acrylic paint. In order to give this simple process a little diversity - apply paint using stencils. They can be purchased at any construction store. After the drawing is driving - open lacquer. If you want to leave the wooden thing with her natural, natural hue - use the versa.

Replacing the facade

Replacing the facade of furniture is a way for those who are not satisfied with the restoration of the facades of kitchen furniture on their own. Factory furniture often has interchangeable elements. Therefore, to choose new facades on a furniture warehouse will not be much difficulty. The main thing is to make measurements of old furniture designs. If you did not find the sale of suitable products, you will have to make an order individually.

Although this repair method is the most expensive, but it is still at times less than the cost of the new set. By updating the facades of furniture in this way, you will receive a practically a new kitchen set, saving money.

For a domestic person, a kitchen is not only a place where they are being prepared. This room for family dinners and dinners, a place to meet friends and relatives. All this means only one thing - the kitchen should not be just convenient for the hostess, but also attractive outwardly. Each and decor has a value, and even more so the kitchen headset. When cracks and stains appear on it, or when it ceases to fit the style of the kitchen and tastes of the owners, many think about buying a new headset. But is it always advisable to spend money on if you can put an existing one? If the headset is still strong, stitches you in size and layout, then it can be transformed with your own hands. Consider the most popular and efficient ways to update the kitchen set.

Self-adhesive film

This method of restoration of the kitchen headset has become truly popular, and all due to its numerous benefits:

Minus - low durability of the film, only 3-4 years old, but the cheapness and simplicity of replacement smooth this flaw.

Conduct the stacking of kitchen facades is simple enough. The main thing, follow the following recommendations:

• select the film of suitable color, given the preferences for the new one. It is not necessary to take the material with the imitation of the tree - you can take a one-photon film of light color, and then it will be possible to make a small kitchen more and embody dreams for implementation;
• it is best to remove kitchen facades - it will work easier to work. Accessories can be dismantled in any case;
• measure the parameters of each removed facade;
• film must be glued to a clean dry surface, i.e. Facades need carefully. This can be done with the help of a soap solution, or using the detergent for dishes. After that, it is necessary to remove the remnants of detergents and wipe the facades dry;
  
• if the facades have serious damage, we will have to pay for some time to repair. Out of the heads on the ends should be glued. The pits need to sand, then fill the th, sand and rebuilt again. If there are large areas of the area, then it is better to glue a piller or veneer patch in their place;
• in accordance with the measurements performed, it is necessary to cut the film. Experienced masters recommend adding 4-5 cm in place in places where the film will bend. If a large drawing is on the film, then when cutting it is necessary to control it to be located correctly. It is better to cut the stationery knife - so the edge will be as even as possible and neat as possible;
• take the first segment of the film, start removing the protective layer of paper and attach the film with adhesive side to the facade. Controlling evenness, gradually dug the protective layer and glue the film;
• you can roll the film with a rubber roller or plastic scraper. Thus, air residues are removed. Smoothing is necessary from the center to the edges. If air bubbles remain, they can be pierced with a needle and roll the surface with roller;
• if you suddenly notice that somewhere the film is glued crookedly, then within 5-6 hours, the situation can be corrected. The film can be transferred, but not more often 1-2 times, since then the glue simply will lose its properties;
• when all the facades are saved, you can fasten them back;
• accessories can be used old, and you can replace it with a new one that more fits into the updated style.

If the shelves have blocked to such an extent that they do not take it a single detergent, they can also be seeded with film. The principle of work is still the same. The film can be chosen close to the original color of the shelves.

Replacing facades

Many believe that the facades-colored facade look like something too modest. It's all, of course, the case of taste and personal preferences, but it is difficult to drastically change the kitchen with the help of a vinyl film, because glass inserts or panels will not be added on the doors. To make serious changes in the kitchen interior, it is better to act radically and completely replace the facades. Yes, it will be more expensive than with the film, but still much cheaper than when buying a new headset. The method is well suited if the furniture frame is still strong and durable.

The easiest thing will be the owners modular furniturewhich was bought relatively recently. Then it will be possible to buy the facades of the required size and replace them with them. But it suffers infrequently, therefore, it is usually necessary to make facades to order. It is not necessary to change the wooden doors onto the wooden, and the chipboard to the chipboard. The uniqueness of this method of restoration is precisely that the appearance of the headset can be modified using completely different materials.

The cheapest option is facades from chipboard or plastic. MDF and the tree will cost more. You can choose accessories and decorations, for example, using glass inserts, but all this will affect the price. Masters with hands, of course, can do all the facades on their own. If there are skills to work with a tree, then why not? But much P. grove and faster contact a specialized companywhich will make facades for your headset.

Coloring

The method is quite simple, but requires careful surface preparation. The main advantage of the method - the ability to paint the facade in any color. If you want to make the kitchen more bold, you can choose a bright shade, for example, blue, green or orange. Wireless color is white, as well as many light shades, incl. beige, gray, cream, etc. Imagine in advance how the kitchen will look, and proceed to creativity.

Simultaneously with the staining of the facades, they can be transformed a little using moldings, Special planks that stick to the surface and give it an interesting relief.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

• remove the facades from the headset, dismantle the fittings and glass. Those elements that are difficult to remove can be sealed with solar tape;
• old varnish or with a grinding machine. If a PVC film was used as a decor, then it is better to apply. The film will be bought from temperature, and it will be easier to remove it. It is better to work in the respirator so that small particles of the facade and the caustic smell of PVC do not fall into the respiratory tract;
• in the presence of serious damage, they must be filled with putty, and then sand;
• the surface is maintained, then dust is removed, degreasing is carried out;
• if you plan to use moldingsThey are attached at this stage. You can choose even or texture planks, there are products that mimic stucco. In advance, the bar is better to overlap, then they are cut into segments of the required sizes. Often Moldings are fixed along the contour of the door, or form the drawing closer to the center. Typically use docking at an angle of 45 degrees. After you have verified that the figure is posted exactly, elements are glued, you can use glue for wooden products. It is allowed to use nails without hats;
  
• MDF, chipboard and the tree absorb moisture well, therefore they are better to pre-cover. It will go, which is designed for woodwork. It is better to apply two layers;
• now you can proceed to staining. Use better or auto email. The first is cheaper, the second is better in terms of moisture resistance and resistance to mechanical damage. You can apply. The paint is applied in 2-3 layers depending on the required color saturation. For warranty, some masters cover the facades with a layer of transparent varnish;
• when the paint is driving, the paint tape is removed, the accessories are returned to the place, and the facades themselves are hung on the loop.

If coloring will seem to you too banal method, then use in the work gibalTranslucent glossy paint. It is applied according to the exact same scheme as acrylic paint, but so far the coating dries, you can create an interesting texture on the surface. A sponge, package or other infrident objects can be made of a geometrical pattern or a vessel pattern. If that, part of the picture can be removed by roller. As a result, an unusual result is obtained, which will have to do ethno-style lovers.

Laco coating

Option will suit only for facades made from a wood array. Varnish allows you to securely protect the wood and does not hide her chic natural look. When it comes to furniture, use nitrocellulose, alkyd-carbamide, polyurethane, epoxy and polyester. It is important that the lacquer protects wood from moisture and elevated temperature. Lucky is not a very pleasant smell, therefore it is better to spend all work on the street. If there is no such possibility, it is better to take a water-based material, it almost does not smell.

It is very important to decide in advance. with a degree of gloss. Varnish can be glossy, which will give an auditorium headset, and maybe a matte, which will emphasize the pattern of a tree. The degree of gloss indicates the packaging as a percentage of reflected light: glossy varnish will reflect up to 90% of light, matte - only 10%, there is a mass of intermediate options. What is better depends on your preferences.

The order of work is as follows:

• remove the facades, dismantle the accessories, if necessary, make some details to make painting scotching;
• remove the old layer of varnish, you can use sandpaper. Dust is best removed by a vacuum cleaner. After the end of the work, the surface is wiping with a wet rag, then she is given to dry well;
• apply a primer varnish;
• varnish are applied with a brush or roller, it is better that every new layer is slightly thinner than the previous one;
• with some species of varnish, it is necessary to work only on the street;
• drying speed - different for different varnishes, the average indicator is indicated on the package;
• after drying, the scotch is removed, the accessories returns to the place.

To create effect of action, You can put a moron in several layers.

Renewal of fittings

We all repeatedly heard about the enormous influence of small things, but many, however, refuse to believe in the truth of this statement. Designers, not doubting, convince us that sometimes the change of pens on the kitchen headset is capable of transforming the kitchen space. More often, the replacement of accessories is carried out along with the update or replacement of facades.

It happens that the kitchen headset itself has been preserved perfectly, and the handles from permanent interaction with them became irradiated, sweat, or completely placed in place. Remove the old fittings and head to a specialized store, where the choice is offered a lot of different handles. The main thing is that the size coincides and did not have to drill new holes.

If old handles fit perfectly into the kitchen style, you can find the most similar to them new. If you want something fresh, or the kitchen facade after simple manipulations began to be completely unrecognizable, then pick up the handles in a new style. The product range includes handles in a modern and classic style, smooth chrome and carved under the old days. There are handles with imitation of leaves and animals, there is glass and stones with inlay. There are wooden, plastic and metallic, transparent and colored - to choose each can be able to pick up.

Maybe, the replacement needs loops and mechanisms of traveling shelves. Before going to the store, these elements should be dismantled and take with them as a sample. New loops are selected for the size of the previous ones. It happens that the available holes are strongly broke out, and it is impossible to fix new loops on them. Then they will have to sharpen the composition on an acrylic basis in the color of the facade, stick, cover with varnish or paint, and only then drill new holes and put purchased loops. Old roller mechanisms can be replaced with balls. All these actions give a huge result - to use the headcard becomes more pleasant and more comfortable.

Replacing glasses

As a rule, glass inserts in the facades are quite easy to wash well to return them the original ideal look. But how to be if you want something new? You can replace the available transparent glass onto matte or colored, then the kitchen is noticeably transformed. True, the glasses will have to be made to order, and not everyone will cope with the replace itself.

More budget option - buy. With its help you can give the windows the desired shade does not deprive them with transparency. It will help create the effect of frosiness or simulate the most. Everyone who knows how to use a tape measure or a centimeter ribbon, scissors and can gently make shoes can accurately cope with the sticking film.

There is another old Dedovsky method, which involves applying a mixture of chalk and silicate adhesive on the glasses. In two layers, this material is applied to the glasses, after which they become matte.

Decoupage of kitchen facades

Decoupage is a great way to update the kitchen set and give it a styled notch. After the transformation of the facades will look as if talented artists painted them for you, but you will know that all this beauty you have done with your own hands. A completely any drawing can be applied to the lockers and shelves, but usually choose something connected with vegetable and kitchen topics: images of fruits and vegetables, coffee, jars with spices and croups, colors, etc. Decoupage will help to decorate facades ornaments in Gzhel or Petrikov painting. The main thing is to find a suitable drawing - no one limits your fantasy.

To cope with the restoration of the facades everyone can independently:

• remove all doors, remove accessories;
• if the surface of the headset is perfectly smooth and smooth, it is only enough to wash it well to get rid of the spots of fat and dirt. If there are defects, it is better to test the surface. First use fine-grained, and then coarse sandpaper. If your disposal is a grinding machine, it will significantly simplify the process. In the presence of cracks, the depressions, the stems are better to fill in putty. When it dries, the processed places are sanded again. After that, the facades can be projected, but many miss this stage;
• decoupage technique is not only suitable for wood, chipboard and MDF - it can be used for decorating plastic, as well as glass facades. Prepare them to the decor is very simple - it is enough to get rid of all dirt and fat;
• the easiest way to use three-layer napkins for decoupage. Think in advance in which part of the facade will be the picture. Do not use too small images. Different lockers can be decorated with pictures in one style. The image can be glued to conventional PVA glue;
• now it remains to open the facade of acrylic varnish, it is better to use 3-4 layers, each is applied after complete drying of the previous one. It is easiest to work with a narrow brush with long bristle;
• it remains to be returned to the place of accessories and mount the facades.

If this is not the first job in the decoupage technique, you can use not only special napkins. Experienced masters know that fragments of wallpaper wallpapers with a suitable pattern are suitable, and even a klenka for the kitchen table, not to mention the fact that the image you like can be printed on the printer.

Decoration of ceramic tiles

After repairing the remnants of the tile there are almost everyone. Many material for this method will not need, because even the purchase does not hit the budget. Tiles, naturally, lay out all the facades. A fragment with a beautiful pattern can be glued in the center. It can be one tile or four smaller tiles, posted in the shape of a square or rhombus. Small tiles you can lay out the contours of the lockers. Often, such a decoration is used for the decor of the lower or top edge of the headset. The image on the tile must match the overall style of the kitchen.

The principle of work is as follows:

Decoration of rotangov inserts

The principle is the same as with ceramic tiles. Rotan inserts will appropriately look with ethno and eco-style. Rattan copes perfectly with moisture effects, therefore it is good for the kitchen. It can be used to replace glass inserts along with the large-scale restoration of the facades. Rotan inserts can be glued on top of deaf lockers. A variety of weaving and the presence of several shades will allow you to choose the appropriate option insert.

Work with rattan simply:

Using Sitz

The decor of the fabric is rarely used, because it is your chance to make the kitchen unique. You will need a cut of a fabric with a suitable pattern, and then everything is simple:

Refresh the facades and leave the tabletop without attention - it means not to finish the started. - The most vulnerable area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen headset, because its surface is constantly facing water and fat, mechanical loads, high temperatures. Table tops from chipboard, as a rule, suffer from the first, and when the facade looks even more or normal, the working surface leaves much to be desired.

What can be done yourself to update the kitchen countertop? Several options:

If the countertop is still in good condition, but it has only one or two noticeable flaws (for example, famous places or places from a knife) can be held local repair. The defective place is gently treated with a cutter so that in the end it turned out the deepening of the career type. It is filled with putty on a tree in the color of the tabletop, the material is added by portions, the trambet is well, the excess is removed with a knife.
