Inexpensive kitchen renovation in a short time
How can repairs be inexpensive in our time?For some, these words mean nothing at all, but for others, starting a renovation is a real problem. After all, the prices for many building materials are so high that there is nowhere else to go. Starting with bricks and ending with switches, compared to a few years ago, the prices have changed several times. For the performance of repair work, the prices have remained the same, only for some reason the work is still calculated in foreign currency. There is only one way out! Try to do the repair yourself.
We'll have to start with the interior!What is the best thing to change in the kitchen so that it is not too expensive and the appearance changes beyond recognition? Of course, everything depends on the general condition of your apartment and what materials were used during the initial renovation.
For example, if all the walls in your kitchen werecovered with ceramic tiles, how do you stick wallpaper on them? No, no, although you can try, but it will look something else. In this case, if the tiles are holding tightly and you don’t want to knock them off, there is an option to stick another tile on top of it, having first degreased the surface and gone over the old tile with coarse sandpaper.
Or using special 3D stickerstransform some part of the kitchen with the effect. We will need: 1. Sticker 2. Alcohol 3. Clean rag 4. Soap solution It is necessary to stick very carefully, using alcohol or vodka, having previously degreased the required area and then stick it on the soap base. When the sticker is completely placed on the wall, take a hair dryer and at a distance safe enough for the sticker, dry it well so that the water that will be under it evaporates and the adhesive surface sticks even more tightly to the wall. If there are no tiles on the walls of your kitchen, and they are simply painted with water-based paint, then everything is much simpler here. Buy a large can of paint and pigment, any color you like. Also do not forget to buy a roller and a container for it, so that you can conveniently get rid of excess paint when soaking the roller.
The paint adheres best to walls thatwere well primed beforehand, in some cases it is better to use concentrated aquastop to prevent mold from forming. Dilute aquastop 5:1 and prime the walls using the same roller. Afterwards, when the walls are dry, you can safely paint them. If you do not want the paint to touch the ceiling, carefully paint a line around the entire area of the kitchen in a circle with a brush, or you can stick masking tape. After painting, remove the tape without waiting for the paint to dry.
To change the look of the kitchen, sometimes it is not enoughit is necessary to build or paint something, sometimes you just need to add a little more light, using additional lamps. Kitchen lighting can be different, both LED and conventional, with oblong lamps, which are difficult to burn or break, since they are often under protective plastic.Most often, kitchen furniture is subject to greatthe impact of external factors - the countertop. After all, we are constantly doing something on it, cutting, beating, putting hot or wet dishes. The material from which ordinary countertops are made is quite strong and dense, but even it is prone to deformation and wear. By replacing the countertop with some other one, for example, one in a new color or even marble, you will give your kitchen a special charm and sense of style. Remember that in the new countertop, as in the old one, you will have to cut in a sink and, depending on the situation, a stove. There is only one rule that can be valid in any repair, be it a kitchen or hallway renovation. It does not matter what you change in your home, the main thing is that these changes are significant for you. Therefore, even if you add an additional set of hooks to the kitchen, which will make your stay easier and bring comfort, then this type of repair, albeit small, but bringing joy, will be one of the best.
