How to upgrade a kitchen without renovation and high costs

Kitchen cabinets, table and chairs are bored to such an extent that you prefer to drink your morning coffee in a coffee shop, and in the evening, instead of following Jamie Oliver's precepts, you order pizza in defeat. I would like to change the situation, but at the word "repair" the credit card shrinks, like the dollar exchange rate before the elections. Sound familiar? U. S. too. Here's what you can do with your kitchen in one weekend and three kopecks.

Clearing the work front

The first step is a ruthless general cleaning, the expulsion of the smoked pans and the ceremonial departure of the burnt-out toaster to an honorary retirement. As well as washing, scraping and polishing. They will allow you to find out what is still quite cute, but just dirty, and what definitely cannot be saved by anything other than repainting or replacing.

Changing the face of the kitchen

Whatever you decide to do with the doors of the headset, they must first be unscrewed, washed and sanded. Further - a lot of options. Painting with acrylics, decoupage, pasting the surface with mosaics or small tiles. Pick up new pens - the old ones are probably worn out. The most commonly recommended self-adhesive film is a dangerous thing. It is not so easy to stick it on, the wrinkles on it are very noticeable, and it looks like Lena Lenina on the Cannes red carpet.

Covering the apron

The kitchen apron takes the brunt of the cooking process - fat from frying flies onto it and lumps stick. It also largely determines the look of the kitchen. Sometimes it is enough to replace old-fashioned tiles with something fashionable, and the kitchen is instantly transformed. It is not necessary to knock down the tiles. Glass panels (skinned) can be glued directly on top of it. They are made of durable glass with a pattern and cling to either glue or screws.

We arrange accessories

The design is in the details, and it is not at all necessary to equip the kitchen from scratch. You can work with what you have.

A wooden set can become the basis of a "rustic" kitchen, if you put an earthenware jug in a prominent place, hang linen curtains and cover the table with a patchwork tablecloth. The same set in the company of textiles with floral prints, rosemary in a pot and white plates with roses will become Provencal.

The plastic kitchen asks for a chrome coffee maker to be placed on the table - it will turn out to be high-tech. We remove the coffee maker, put a bright plastic vase, hang a reproduction of Roy Lichtenstein on the wall - and now it's not high-tech, but pop art. Swap out cups and plates for the style that suits your style and you'll be recognized as a design guru among your friends.
