5 ideas for a kitchen makeover without a major overhaul

30 of December '22

New year, new kitchen? With the beginning of 2023, you should plan a quick and spectacular change. Take matters into your own hands and make a metamorphosis of the kitchen yourself at a limited cost, without a huge overhaul, and above all, in the spirit of "less waste".

Changing tile without removing old tiles

You can get the desired tile color without forging old tiles. This is because they can be easily transformed thanks to a special paint. Such a product does not require prior priming, as it is characterized by excellent adhesion to the substrate. Tiles just need to be carefully cleaned of all dirt, stone and grease, and then painted in the desired shade. For a beautiful, uniform and durable surface, apply two coats of the product, keeping an interval of 16 hours. As a result, after just two days you can enjoy tiling in a new color, and without hauling away debris and littering the environment. Tiles painted in this way will gain a coating that is resistant to repeated contact with cold and hot water, as well as various types of stains, whether from hot oil or staining food products, or discoloration caused by chemicals.

New color for kitchen cabinets

If you want to fulfill the dream of a new color of kitchen cabinets, it is not at all necessary to replace them, especially if the ones you currently have are not yet worn out. They can be given a completely different look with enamel, thanks to which they will get the color of their dreams and a beautiful, uniform coating that is resistant to daily use.

Energetic element

Those who do not want to make changes to the kitchen cabinets may be tempted to introduce colorful shelves, which will provide a breath of fresh air in the interior. Opt for a cheerful shade that will stand out against the background of bright walls and subdued-colored cabinets. When making a metamorphosis of the shelves, you can also paint the kitchen stool on occasion.

Unique wall

An idea for an unconventional change in the kitchen can be to create a distinctive wall in the dining nook. Thanks to the use of blackboard paint, you will be able to take daily notes on it, and if you go a step further and use it in a set with magnetic paint, it will also be used to attach photos or drawings. The classic black of blackboard paint will look stylish in almost any interior, but those looking for more extravagant solutions can boldly let their imagination run wild and play with color.

Stylish depth

The way to a new kitchen can also be a complete transformation of the walls. In a previously light interior, a "wow effect" will be provided by the introduction of a dark intense shade. For example, navy blue will create a graceful contrast with white cabinets, adding depth and informal elegance tothe kitchen . Opt for a semi-matte paint, so that the surface of the walls is resistant to everyday stains, including those from greasy sauces, as well as easy to clean. As aresult, the kitchen will lookimpressive not only at the beginning of use, but will enjoy its unique aesthetics for a long time.
