What to paint and why you need it

Before deciding what to paint the kitchen with, let's decide which surfaces and for what reason need it.

The room used for cooking is characterized by excessive humidity and temperature extremes. Therefore, over time, your initial appearance lose walls, ceilings, furniture, doors and other surfaces that require restoration.

If the application paintwork on the surface in an ordinary room does not seem to be something particularly difficult, then painting in the kitchen is not an easy undertaking. Everything is much more complicated, if only because all surfaces are covered with a more or less noticeable layer of soot.

It does not matter that the entire kitchen is to be renovated or only do-it-yourself painting of kitchen furniture, soot and other characteristic contaminants will have to be completely removed even at the preparatory stage.

Since there is a lot about the repair of walls, ceilings and floors on our portal useful information, let's dwell on the topics of furniture renovation and painting of ceramic tiles.

Updating the appearance of furniture

It is not difficult to paint kitchen furniture, the main thing is to do it right preparatory work... Properly selected materials can be applied to the surface of any kitchen furniture, both wood and veneer.

But, as for the question of how to paint the countertop in the kitchen, we will answer that it is better not to cover this part with any paintwork materials at all.

If the countertop is wooden, it will be correct to completely sand it and soak it with special oils or stain. If the tabletop is covered with veneer, but cut with a knife, it should be cleaned of dirt and tightened with the densest vinyl self-adhesive.

To paint kitchen set do it yourself, you can use ordinary nitro enamels, which fit well on most surfaces. In order for the restoration result to be similar to the original coating, as painting tool it is advisable to use a roller or spray gun.

Painting a kitchen set begins with cleaning the surfaces and filling the relief. If the surface of the entourage elements is glossy, it should be sealed with sandpaper to ensure the greatest adhesion.

Important: Surfaces located near the stove or hob, it is advisable to renew using fire-retardant paints for metal Polistil.

Renovation of tiles

Wall decoration suffers no less from soot and temperature changes. That is why, many are trying to figure out whether it is possible to paint the tiles in the kitchen. In principle, it is not difficult to paint old matte tiles in the desired color, but it is much more difficult to paint glossy tiles.

A glossy surface, in contrast to matte, is characterized by a very low degree of adhesion, therefore painting works are carried out using a special technology.

Important: There is a special wall tile on the market, originally designed for painting. The surface texture of such finishing material characterized by high adhesion.

Tools and materials

Wondering if it can be painted tile in the kitchen so that the result is of high quality and durable? Of course you can.

For this we need the following materials:

epoxy two-component primer;
alkyd nitroenamel;
heat-resistant varnish for fireplaces and stoves KO-85;
dry putty mixture or grout for joints;
roller for painting the main surface;
a narrow brush for drawing intercellular sutures;
plaster spatulas (wide 40 cm and narrow 10 cm);
medium to fine grit sandpaper and plaster float with special clips.

Let's start painting

Painting work on a tiled surface is carried out as follows:

The tile coating is thoroughly cleaned of dirt and soot using special degreasers.

Important: Concentrated degreasers are dangerous for the skin, and therefore protective gloves must be worn when working.

The cleaned surface is inspected for falling and falling tiles. If there is such a tile, we prepare a grout or putty solution and fill the recess with it. We also deal with chips and other deformations.
For greater realism, we form an imitation of the tile seam on the freshly laid putty with a spatula.
Next, we attach the sandpaper on a grater and carefully grind the tile.
After the glossy surface of the ceramic has become matte, you can install a fine-grained sandpaper and re-grind the entire tile in order to smooth out large risks.
Dust the base prepared for painting and apply a primer to it. It takes no more than 10 hours for the primer to dry completely, after which you can start painting.
We paint in two layers with breaks to dry the previous layer. Immediately draw the seams with a thin brush in order to get a uniform and dense paintwork.
After the coating is dry, apply varnish.

Important: Zinga conductive paint can be used to renovate and decorate tiled walls. Such a coating applied to any surface is a thin zinc film that faithfully simulates metal.

Repair of kitchen furniture is a great option to update the familiar and time-tested environment without significant financial costs. Repair of a kitchen unit can be done by hand, it is within the power of everyone who is not afraid to take up tools. Before starting work, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the main available ways restoration of kitchen furniture.

When restoration is needed

As a result of operation and physical wear and tear, the kitchen set has external and functional defects.

The following signs of wear may be the reason for the restoration:

The cladding is lagging behind the base.
The lacquer coating of the headset fades, wears off or cracks. Spots appear on it.
Metal fittings wear out, break.
As a result of operation, dents, chips, cracks, scratches, water stains appear on the surface of furniture in the kitchen, chemical substances, hot items.
The legs of the headset and chairs break.
The upholstery on the chairs is rubbed and torn.

In case of such damage, it is possible to restore the furniture if it is made of high-quality materials.

Restoration options

When starting the renovation of dilapidated kitchen furniture, the first step is to update appearance cabinet facades. For this purpose, the following restoration methods can be used:

Painting or varnishing furniture in the kitchen.
Facing of facades with veneer, polymer film, fabric, photo wallpaper.
Use of decorative inserts.
Decoupage.

In addition to the facades, in the process it will be necessary to update or replace the countertops, worn out or broken fittings, and, if desired, restore the chairs.

Replacing the facade

Kitchen furniture restoration begins with the facades. If they are too worn out or there is a desire to radically change the design of the kitchen headset, the old facades are replaced with fashionable ones. They can be made from a different material and in a different style. make to order. The measurements are taken by the master.

Possible options for materials for doors in the kitchen:

Chipboard.	This is the cheapest option. Disadvantages of the material: it does not hold the fasteners well, can crumble, absorb moisture and swell, the protective film often peels off. A good option replacements - chipboard laminated with melamine film. It is more moisture and wear resistant.
MDF.	The panel holds fasteners well, is resistant to moisture and fire, temperature differences and mechanical wear, withstands washing and cleaning with abrasives. MDF for the kitchen can be painted, laminated with polymer film different colors and textures or faced with natural veneer. The plates can be photoprinted, embossed.
Plastic (acrylic).	It is wear-, moisture-, heat-resistant material. It has a large selection color solutions for kitchen. Can imitate natural materials.
Natural wood.	This is the most expensive material. Its advantages for the kitchen: safety, long-term operation, durability and reliability, the possibility of restoration and repair. With proper pre-treatment, hardwood does not absorb moisture and odors, and is resistant to mechanical stress.

Stages of work:

We remove the old doors and fixtures of the headset in the kitchen.
We mill other doors for hinges.
We fasten the handles.
We hang the prepared doors, fixing the hinge legs on the inner walls of the housings.
The installed kitchen facade is vertically and horizontally adjustable with special screws.

Painting of kitchen facades

Before painting facades made of MDF or chipboard with your own hands, you need to mask the damage and prepare the surface of the furniture for painting. Before starting work, the doors and end panels of the boxes must be removed, the handles and fasteners must be unscrewed.

The surfaces of the headset in the kitchen need to be cleaned, sanded or grinderuntil they are matte.

We glue the decorative elements masking tape... If the facades of the kitchen are covered with PVC film, it is removed with a construction hair dryer. Severe damage can be repaired.

The facades must be primed twice before painting. For work it is recommended to use acrylic paints... Apply the composition with a roller in one direction, let it dry completely and apply the coating in several more layers until the desired color is obtained. We paint over the ends of the kitchen especially carefully.

Autoenamel is superior in quality to acrylic paints. It is sold in cans, so on open airusing a respirator and goggles, spray such paint onto the surface to be treated.

If you plan to cover the kitchen headset with varnish, it is better to choose acrylic composition... It dries faster and is less toxic. The varnish looks better on wooden surfaces. Wood can also be treated with stain.

Instead of paint, you can use glizal - a thick translucent composition with a glossy finish. It is diluted with water according to the instructions and applied as a simple paint, but until the glazed is completely dry, you can give it a different texture. To do this, pass a damp sponge over the painted surface of the kitchen set. Defects are smoothed with a roller.

You can use rattan cloth, which is used to replace or paste over old panels or doors completely. The color of the laths for fastening and rattan is matched to the color of the headset. The process technology is as follows:

Measure the size of the panels.
Decorative slats are prepared. Saw the edges at an angle of 45 °, clean and varnish the cuts.
The rattan cloth is soaked in cold water for half an hour to swell the fibers, then spread on the table and cut with sharp scissors to measure. After drying, the material will stretch itself.
Rattan is attached to the kitchen door with staples.
Nail the slats with furniture studs without hats, clamping the rattan and hiding the paper clips.

Fittings

Before hanging restored facades in the kitchen, it is necessary to replace the old fittings with new ones. It guarantees the ergonomics and functionality of the furniture. It is worth inspecting and replacing hinges, guides, drive mechanisms, handles.

If the holes for fastening have expanded or part of the canvas is missing in their place, the accessories will have to be moved to another area.

We start work with dismantling the fittings. Seal the old holes with putty. It is best if it is on an acrylic base, tone in tone with the color of the kitchen facades. After the putty settles and dries, it is sanded with sandpaper, painted or varnished. Then you can drill other holes and install the hardware.

It is better to replace roller guides in kitchen drawers with more reliable ones - ball. The handles are matched in style and color to the updated kitchen facades.

Self-adhesive film

You can update the doors with a cloth or self-adhesive film... The coating can be plain or with a pattern that imitates wood, marble, tile, leather, metal, matte or glossy, smooth or textured. Vinyl film does not allow moisture, is resistant to high temperatures, mechanical damage. The service life is 3-4 years. Operating procedure:

We measure the facades of the kitchen, sides, boxes. It is better to remove the doors first.
We remove the fittings, wash the furniture in the kitchen with a damp sponge, removing dirt and grease. The surface must be flat, smooth and dry.
On the seamy side of the film, on a protective paper, a centimeter grid is applied to facilitate cutting. When cutting out the details, you need to leave allowances of 1-2 cm, add 2 cm to the folds additionally. The rapports of the ornament must match.
Cut out the details with a clerical knife and sharp scissors.
Peel off 3-5 cm of protective paper and apply to the kitchen facade. Using a plastic spatula, squeeze air out from under the film. Gradually, 5-10 cm each, glue the coating and level it with a spatula from the center to the edges. The film will finally dry out after 5 hours, so there is time to correct defects or re-glue it.

If fabric is used for decoration, it can be glued with PVA and opened acrylic varnish or secure with moldings.

Decorative inserts

The doors of the headset can be updated using decorative inserts from wallpaper, vinyl film, ceramic tiles, rattan and other materials. This method is suitable if there are panels on the doors. Otherwise, you will have to make frames from molding on the facades.

Most unusual way - facade cladding ceramic tiles... To do this, you need to remove the doors, the surface can be painted if desired. We fix the tiles with special glue.

Wallpaper

Wall mural is similar in density to vinyl film. They are suitable for updating furniture set made of chipboard, MDF or plastic. The surface of the facade must be prepared, and then the wallpaper must be glued using liquid nails or a glue gun.

After the glue dries, we open the canvas with varnish. You can use ready-made wallpaper or order your own image.

Decoupage

Another way to revive a kitchen set is decoupage technique. This will require decorative motives made of fabric, paper or wallpaper. The larger the sheet, the fewer joints there will be. To print drawings, you can use a large-format printer or contact a salon.

Before starting work, we prepare the surface. Fill scratches and cracks with putty, then grind with sandpaper and degrease with solvent. We cover the surface with a primer and acrylic paint in the background color. You do not need to paste over the sides, but for a harmonious appearance it is worth painting.

We apply PVA glue both on the surface of furniture and on paper, which should be thoroughly saturated with it. We apply the finished drawing to the surface and smooth it with a brush or roller. The paper should dry completely, after which it is covered with 3-4 layers of transparent acrylic varnish every hour.

Installing a new tabletop

If the degree of wear on the countertop is small, you can restore it: putty, paint, varnish, paste over with ceramic tiles. If the table surface is made of chipboard or fiberboard, it can be covered with foil.

If there is severe damage, it is better to replace the tabletop. Before ordering its manufacture, it is necessary to take measurements. The countertop can be made by hand. For products made of MDF or chipboard, the sections are insulated with plastic overlays, which can be screwed on with self-tapping screws or fixed with wood glue.

The next step is to dismantle the old countertop and install a new one. If a built-in sink or stove is planned in any part of the lid of a kitchen set, you must first take measurements and cut a suitable hole with a jigsaw.

After that, sections of the countertop can be installed on the cabinets and secured with rails or special fasteners. Then install a sink and a stove in the holes and seal the joints.

What do you do with old furniture?

How to paint a kitchen set.

An old set can be quickly and easily refreshed with staining. Kitchen furniture often exposed to various chemical influences. As a result, it is better not to use varnishes and acrylic paints. Others paints and varnishes have a very strong odor. Therefore, work should be carried out in a room with good ventilation or with an open window.

Before you figure out how to paint a kitchen set, you should purchase:

- glizal;
- brushes and roller;
- primer;
- sandpaper;
- car enamel or alkyd enamel.

Instructions on how to paint a kitchen set.

Dealing with the question: "how to paint a kitchen set", you should choose the color of the kitchen set. You need to make a decision as to whether you are ready to change the curtains, as well as the upholstery of the soft corner. You need to understand how various useful little things, exposed in plain sight, will be combined with the future painted surface. It is better to solve these questions at home, before going to hardware store... In this case, you just have to purchase a ready-made alkyd paint, or tint it from specialists in the selected color.

The facades should be removed from all cabinets. Work should be carried out on a horizontal surface so that the paint does not drip. Furniture side panels can be painted on site. To do this, put newspapers or film under the cabinets so as not to stain the floor. Places that cannot be painted are sealed with masking tape.

Hinges and handles are unscrewed from the facades. If there are glasses in the doors, stick them out. You can also fix the newspaper on the glass with tape around the perimeter so that paint does not leak.

Fixed decorative elements and paneled parts should be sanded with sandpaper. If there is a film on the MDF doors, it should be removed before sanding.

The furniture should be primed. In the case of facades with a plastic surface, it is required to use a special primer for plastic. For wooden doors made of chipboard, use a regular paint primer.

Large surfaces should be painted with a velor roller or spray gun. For painting the facades, as well as the sides of the headset, you can use auto enamels in spray cans. When using them, you must use a respirator, due to their volatility and strong odors.

To create complex beautiful painted surfaces, glaze should be used. For this, a transparent paint is purchased - glizal. Glazing can be done with a crumpled piece of polyethylene, a dry brush, textured roller... When using glazed, a finishing varnish is required to fix the result.

Then the side walls, as well as the facades, are dried. Then the hinges and handles are screwed on. Furniture is assembled at the end. Using these instructions, the question of how to paint a kitchen set will not look problematic.

There can be a lot of reasons to repaint your kitchen. This is both an urgent thirst for change, and a desire to modernize a legacy dear to the heart, and the most commonplace - repairs with a limited budget. The designer tells how to independently update the color of the facades so that the kitchen looks like new.

What is required?

old kitchen set
screwdriver
degreaser (we used White Spirit)
masking tape
protective film
gloves (we recommend vinyl - they are durable and do not interfere with maneuvers, sold in pharmacies)
brushes (we have them 40 mm wide) - 3 pieces
emery paper with a grain of 100-180 microns
alkyd primer - 0.9 liters *
matt paint - 2-2.5 liters *
matt polyurethane or acrylic lacquer 0.9-1 liter *

* As a rule, the manufacturer indicates the consumption of materials. The volumes of primer, paint and varnish are indicated for the kitchen, as in the photo, or any other size of 3-4 linear meters.

So, we have a kitchen of interior aesthetics of the late nineties in the color of baked milk, which is not the most relevant today. Our goal is to make the facades white and fit the kitchen into a modern classic interior.

We will only repaint the facades, leaving the "insides" as they were. I will show the whole process on the example of one facade.

Step 1: define the color

Step 2: prepare the facade surfaces for painting

In order not to stain the fittings during the staining process, we remove it with a screwdriver.

Then we thoroughly wash the kitchen and dry it with a towel. The facades must be free of dust, dirt and grease. Wipe cleaned surfaces with "White Spirit" or another degreaser.

We glue the glass and small elements with adhesive tape that do not need to be painted. We cover the walls and countertop protective film... The facades do not need to be removed, but keep in mind that painting something on a horizontal surface is much more convenient than on weight.

Step 3: primer, skin

Now we start applying the alkyd primer. It can be tinted to match the future color of the kitchen, but I always use white. We ground the facades in two layers. This is not a quick process: the alkyd primer dries up to twelve hours.

Sandpaper between coats to level the primed surfaces and ensure good adhesion (adhesion). I recommend sanding after every coat of primer, paint and varnish, except finishing layers... The more intensively you sand, the smoother the facades will be.

Step 4: start painting

Do not use glossy paint: at home, it is almost impossible to apply it evenly. Matte will be able to mask the flaws of the novice master. I prefer chalk paint: it is extra matte, durable, with good coverage.

We apply paint in two layers, each dries up to half an hour. You can speed up the process by using a hairdryer.

If you use a brush with natural bristles, the painted surfaces will be more textured.

Step 5: varnish

We cover the primed and painted surfaces with a matte varnish with a brush with artificial bristles in two layers (between layers of skins, remember?).

I'll tell you a little about the features of the varnish. Polyurethane takes longer to dry than acrylic, is more expensive and has a strong odor. At the same time, surfaces covered with such a varnish are stronger and denser. However, if you do not spend a lot of time in the kitchen and you do not have pets ready to scratch your updated kitchen, feel free to choose acrylic.

How to update the kitchen if there is not enough finance to purchase a new headset? Options: buy new facades, order the company's craftsmen, or repaint the furniture in a different color with your own hands. How to paint kitchen facades to avoid bitter disappointments? What is the difficulty of self-creation beautiful coverage: high-quality painting of furniture with your own hands is feasible only after thorough long-term cleaning of the old decorative layer. If the removal of paint and varnish residues is done carelessly, the surface of the furniture becomes unsightly: sagging, streaks, peeling of paint and varnish appear on an uneven surface.

The paint has ennobled the kitchen set

But it is not only insufficient processing that can spoil the beauty of the kitchen facades. Another mistake is choosing decorative paint for individual items without taking into account the combination with the interior. Imagine how sloppy it will look if you repaint furniture french style Provence, giving lavender or milk-cream languor and tenderness, in bright orange or poisonous scarlet shades. Motley cabinets, decorated with old vignettes, carved shelves, and gratings will literally hang over you with an intoxicating weight. Therefore, before starting work, it is important to calculate all the nuances: the materials from which the kitchen is made, the selection of paints and varnishes, the definition of the interior style.

Features of processing materials for kitchen facades

Most furniture sets budget option made of chipboard, fiberboard, MDF. Each coating, before painting the furniture, needs a preparatory cleaning. different ways... Let's consider the main pre-processing methods.

MDF facades

The coating material for cabinets and countertops made of MDF is a layer of polished veneer, film, plastic or enamel.

How to remove veneer

According to the instructions, lubricate the surface with a thick or liquid compositiondissolving polish.
After a while, clean the softened wet layer in the direction of the wood grain with a spatula.
Remove the rest of the coating with special iron wool, or with a grinding machine.
First clean the surface with coarse-grained, followed by fine sandpaper.
Clean dust thoroughly.

To remove the film, you will need a construction hair dryer, with hot exposure the coating will go away. Then rinse off the glue, degrease, clean, as described earlier.

Plastic surfaces can not be removed, but the furniture can be painted with auto enamel.

MDF elements are very popular among headsets, so learning how to paint them is very useful

Particleboard facades

Chipboard boards have a less durable structure than MDF, therefore, when processing the coating, sparing preparations for wood, a hair dryer, or abrasive abrasive paper are used. Next, degreasing is performed (white spirit, acetone). If the surface layer is not removed, then the area of \u200b\u200bthe facade is simply leveled with fine-grained sandpaper, then cleaned of the dust layer with a damp cloth.

Preparation methods: primer and putty

A prerequisite for painting MDF beautifully and Chipboard products - apply layers of primer to improve the adhesion of the compounds, then putty, to create a smooth surface without cracks and scratches, prime again.

The shades of the primer and filler are matched to the color of the paint, in order to avoid glimpses of the lower layers and changes in the color scheme.

Application process:

a coat of primer for wood surfaces to see scratches and pits,
acrylic putty,
primer 2 layers.

After the composition has dried, you can proceed to the main operation: paint the kitchen facades.

Is of great importance correct selection composition of paint and the quality of tools.

Correct preparatory activities always needed before painting

Methods for painting the surfaces of facades: coloring composition and not only

What paint to choose so that the appearance of the products is flawless, even and smooth?

How is furniture fronts painted?

You can paint the chipboard with brushes, spray guns with oil paints, acrylic paints with a water base, alkyd enamels, drying oil, stain, furniture varnishes. The advantages of aqueous formulations are the ability to adjust while they are not dry: change the shade, or dilute bright color before delicate shade... But we will get a more beautiful surface using a special aerosol enamel composition.

Painting MDF facades with plastic is made using colored enamels for car aerosols. At the same time, painted MDF facades for kitchens are water-resistant, resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures, and are durable. Automotive enamel coating guarantees smooth, non-sagging layering.

Tools

Achieving the ideal kitchen surface with painted facades is impossible without the right tools and aids.

When carrying out work, the following items will be required.

New brushes, wide and narrow, flat pattern.
Roller made of velor or foam rubber.
Masking tape.

Learn to use a spray gun - it's not difficult

Technique of solid painting of furniture

You can repaint furniture made of chipboard with your own hands with brushes or a roller. Roller spreading saves paint and spreads it more evenly. Decorative patterns must be applied with a brush.

To paint the chipboard with your own hands, movements on the surface are performed in one direction. The final layer is applied along the entire length. Each layer is applied after the first has dried: water composition - after 30 minutes, acrylic - according to the instructions. If it is necessary to differentiate the color or material of the facade, use masking tape. Entrance doors cannot be opened until dry.

Painted MDF for the kitchen is obtained in the following ways: select the dye according to the coating material: for plastic, or wooden surface... When thickening the composition, dilute according to the instructions.

If you paint the MDF with a roller or brush, then put the initial layer on the prepared area and dry thoroughly.

Then the next layers are applied one, or alternately, with two drying, if the composition has a low hiding power. To achieve a shiny mirror gloss, you can use an alkyd or acrylic transparent varnish.
