Paint on existing wallpaper to give your kitchen a new look.
Are you looking for ways to “project makeover” your kitchen? Then this post is for you. Discover how your kitchen can make a complete turnaround by simply painting the wallpaper.
Choose your colors
Sometimes, transforming a given space simply involves choosing the right color for its walls. The client here decided to use the soft, warm brown known as Latte Cream onto the walls of her kitchen.
The color is a perfect choice for her because it hides stains on the walls and matches the rattan objects in her kitchen. Even the name of the color is perfectly suited for a kitchen.
Painting tips
It is often best to choose paint colors that are similar to or match the colors of existing furniture or decorative objects in the given space. This will make the result comfortable and harmonious.
Choose your paints
iLux Multi Flat is a collection of paints from Samhwa that is designed specifically for application onto indoor walls. The paints produce the desired colors with just one or two applications and dry quickly. The client was able to apply two coats onto her kitchen walls in the span of just 90 minutes even though it was raining outside that day.
Painting process
Use a paint brush for narrow and uneven surfaces, like trim, and a paint roller for larger surfaces on walls. If it rains outside, you might want to turn on fans and dehumidifiers to quicken the drying process.
It feels great to remove masking tape after the painting is done. Remove the tape carefully so that it doesn’t tear the newly painted wallpaper.
iLux Multi Flat paints are odorless, so you can start cooking and eating in the kitchen right after you paint. Since kitchen walls are prone to staining and moisture, you might also consider painting them with iLux Multi Eggshell paints, as they’re waterproof and surfaces on which they’re painted are easy to keep clean.
Pantries and utility rooms tend to clutter up. The client here chose to attach dichroic film to the door of her pantry to give it a multi-colored sparkle in sunlight. What an easy and genius way to liven up a space!
Sunlight cast onto the film will produce sparkling rainbows. The kitchen is now done. The soft Latte Cream nicely complements the rattan objects in the client’s kitchen, bringing sophistication to the entire space.
