Renovate kitchen
and
bathroom cupboards

To change the kitchen without changing, just redecorate it. The solution for a radical makeover: painting your kitchen furniture. It’s simple and economical. Especially since there are special kitchen paints to paint on melamine, already painted or varnished wood. Here are all our tips to give a second youth to your kitchen or your bathroom.

step 1

Clean the kitchen cupboards and cabinets

Before painting kitchen cupboards and cabinets, the surface should be degreased. Wash them with a soda-based cleaner (soda crystals for example). Rinse with clean water. Prior cleaning guarantees optimal adhesion of the paint.

step 2

Remove the doors from cupboards and cabinets

Remove the doors from cupboards and cabinets as this will make them easier to paint. Lightly sand already painted or varnished surfaces and remove dust. Sanding improves adhesion of the paint to old finishes.

step 3

Protect the kitchen cupboards and cabinets

Use masking tape to protect the edges of the area you're painting, and hinges and handles. Press the tape down firmly once applied.

step 4

Prepare the paint

Stir the paint with a wide stick to mix thoroughly. Empty the paint into a paint tray and load the roller with paint. Special kitchen and bathroom furniture paints can be applied directly without an undercoat.

step 5

Paint the kitchen cupboards and cabinets

Cut in corners and paint edges. Make sure you don't leave any parts unpainted => protect all areas in the room where you're decorating.

step 6

Paint the kitchen cupboards and cabinets

Load the paint evenly onto a 5 mm short pile roller. Apply the paint to the kitchen cupboards and cabinets using criss-cross strokes. Smooth with a final vertical stroke without reloading the roller. Special kitchen and bathroom paints have excellent flow, producing a smooth result without lapping marks.

step 7

Apply a second coat of paint

Once dry (usually 12 hours), apply a second coat of paint in the same way. The definitive colour will be obtained after application of the second coat. The paint will be fully adherent and resistant after 20 days of drying so surfaces should be treated with extra care during this period.
