Cabinets on the wall!
The other day I read somewhere that the cabinets are the most used tools of that central axis of the house, which is usually the kitchen. Cabinets are the most neglected and misused items that are prone to spills, grease, scratches, and even damage due to slamming and banging. Although in some of the cases these cabinets can still be found flaunting their abuse, the general concern of homeowners is to get rid of these marks to avoid marring the visually appealing notion of their kitchens.
When you’re trying to remodel your kitchen cabinets, consider how much money you can afford to spend on them and the look, style, and feel you want to achieve. So find out if you can simply update those faded cabinets to a sleek look by rubbing white pigment into the unfinished wood of your cabinets. This particular technique is rapidly gaining popularity and is known as the etching effect. It adds a lighter shade to the cabinetry and gives the kitchen a larger dimensional look.
Other options for renovating older cabinets include sanding their surfaces to paint them a color of your choice. When doing so, make sure you have removed all door handles and handles to achieve a smooth surface appearance. To prevent paint from chipping, use a solvent-based solution to remove the old paint layer and make sure the surface to be painted is clean, dust-proof and sanded to the same level.
Cabinet doors can be replaced with glass doors, to add the wow factor, you can display your crystal collection or traditional keepsakes in these cabinets to make the environment look visually appealing. This is also another useful technique to make smaller kitchens appear spacious. Also be on the lookout for visible paint streaks that seem to remain no matter how tedious the paint job, and make the most of this opportunity to clean away any grime that has built up over a period of time.
However, if you’re trying to opt to fix cabinets from scratch, there are quite a few quality options available on the market. Includes polyurethane finishes that can be applied to wood and other textures and stains as a corrector. It also helps reduce emissions in your home and thus helps build a healthy environment. However, for maximum benefits, it must cover all edges and surfaces and remain intact.
Another interesting option is the polyester and lacquered finish that have a smooth high-gloss finish. Although polyester is more durable than lacquer and therefore more resistant to damage, it is relatively difficult to repair if damaged. However, the lacquer can be washed with a solvent and can also be coated.
You can achieve the desired results if you use your imagination well and keep the style and design factor in line with the functionality and needs of home and family. So the next time you plan to remodel your home, remember to fill your cabinet canvases with the color, texture, and fashion of your desires.
