There will always be a time that we want to have something changed. This time might be something big like a career or moving away. It will undoubtedly be a big decision and have a significant effect. But it could also be with smaller things like cutting your hair or changing its color. It does not have to be for the physical body but with your home like changing wallpapers or repainting the walls that will match the other furniture or buying a new set of furniture.
The problem, at times, is the budget. It will be costly to buy something new or have a renovation. But why not try to be creative and do some DIY. It might sound intimidating, but it is not that hard as many people think. You have to learn about the basics.
A piece of furniture can be fixed or spiced by you. Kitchen cabinets are some of those. With these tips, you can have a new look for your kitchen.
Before you start painting, you should think about the following considerations first:
1. Color
The current color of your cabinets might look dull for you and want to have a change. Before you do that, be sure that the color you have in mind will complement the rest of your kitchen. Because if not, it will not be useful to look at.
2. Kitchen Design
Another thing to consider is your kitchen style because it will affect the choice of the kind of paint and color. Your kitchen might have a vintage aesthetic going on, so the paint should be on the more rustic side or earthy. If it is more modern, then it will be more of the warm colors. Bright colors work for retro-style kitchens.
3. Pattern
It could either with your cabinets itself. There are times that they will have some carvings, and you might want to conserve them so that you can watch for it. Then there are also the tiles of floor and kitchen walls. Choose something that will match them.
4. Appliances
A big part of your kitchen is the appliances. It will not be a problem if most of them are stainless steel, but there are times that appliances are of a different color, so it would be wise to have them in mind to match as well.
But of course, it is not just about the color and designs, and you should also watch out for your budget. Doing the painting yourself is less expensive than hiring a painter or renovator. But that does not mean you will not spend a thing. Of course, the first will be the primers and paints, and there is a lot of variety you will see. They are at different price points, so you will have to choose wisely what will best fit for you because you might not need those more expensive ones.
Another thing to think about are the materials you will use. It is not just paints but also the brushes and rollers. Your cabinets will also need to be sanded before painting them so you will need a sander for that.
