Kitchen table decoration

Table decoration is varied.

Oriental style table

We paint the old table black and glue the gold patterns: the gold leaf is thin sheet gold leaf. We can buy it in all shops for professional artists or for handicrafts. And the price of such a rich restoration will delight us.

For work we need:

• glue for gilding;
• favorite stencil of the pattern;
• black spray paint;
• brushes and pencil.

Decorating sequence:

• Let's clean and degrease the surface.
• Let's cover it with spray black paint.
• First, outline the stencil with a pencil, carefully point the resulting image with a brush and glue.
• Glue the leaf of the leaf on the pattern.
• With a sponge or a hard brush, remove the unnecessary part of the glaze outside the drawing - and the elite table is ready.

Table decoration with cloth

We do a table with a fabric top like this:

• we buy a fabric that matches the interior, the size of the countertop, but with an addition to the hem;
• we cut out the fabric according to the size of the countertop;
• we stretch the fabric on the countertop, bend it and fix it with a furniture stapler.

Such decoration masks the worn-out countertop for a long time, if the fabric is special and easy to clean.

Ecostyle table

For this we need:

• plant in the pot;
• sandpaper;
• paint or self-adhesive film;
• sawing tool.

Sequence:

• drill a hole in the countertop for a flower pot;
• smooth the edges with emery cloth;
• then glue the edges of this hole with self-adhesive film;
• put a pot with a flower in the hole.

Decoupage

• We carefully apply special thin napkins to the surface and cover with paint, as if using a stencil. And on the surface, picturesque drawings and patterns are ideally imitated.
• The stencil will help us to apply great painting, even without the slightest drawing skills, as the video demonstrates.
• Geometric white shapes, patterns, ornaments - such a striking design does not require much paint and time, and the effect is excellent.

Kitchen cabinet decoration

Antique decoration

Acrylic paints of two colors and a craquelure varnish applied with water-based paints will make a noble touch of time.

For this we need:

• water primer (can be replaced with PVA glue);
• acrylic paint - 2 shades;
• craquelure varnish;
• matt acrylic varnish;
• wide brush.

Advice! To acquire the skill of such decoration, it is better to first try it on an unnecessary board.

Sequence:

• Apply paint to the primed surface.
• After it dries - craquelure varnish, moving the brush in one direction.
• After an hour, apply a different shade of paint, moving the brush in the same direction.
• After it dries, open it with acrylic varnish.

Decoupage lockers

We will need:

• primer for wood;
• acrylic paint;
• colorless acrylic varnish;
• PVA glue;
• brushes and roller;
• sandpaper;
• pictures, patterns cut from magazines, drawings or printed on a printer.

Here is the decoupage instruction:

• priming the sanded surface;
• paint in a suitable color and wait for the paint to dry;
• we apply the selected drawings to the surface of the cabinet, marking with a pencil their most advantageous location;
• soak pictures in water;
• apply glue to the marked areas of the cabinet;
• we put wet drawings in place and, achieving their perfect fit, glue them;
• after drying, we cover them with varnish twice.

Now this wardrobe will become the most interesting piece of furniture.

Wardrobe decoration with wallpaper

Pasting an old cabinet with vinyl or non-woven wallpaper - cheap and easy way to decorate.

Features:

• Bright wall-paper for the closet is suitable for light walls.
• If there are wallpaper on the walls with a pattern, then it is better to paste over the cabinets in plain colors.

Advice! In a small kitchen, the same wallpaper as on the walls is used to decorate the cabinets so that they do not stand out, illusoryly cluttering the kitchen.

• The newest version of such pasting is self-adhesive wallpaper with imitation of metal, wood, stone.

Note! It is better to glue wallpaper on the cabinet with PVA glue - it is stronger and more reliable than wallpaper.

Decorating the cabinet with a cork

Eco-friendly cork in rolls or sheets is suitable for original cabinet decoration.

• We can easily cut out even a complex pattern from cork and quickly glue it to the cabinet.
• First, let's make the drawing out of paper and try it on the cabinet.
• Then, according to the template you like, we cut out the part from the cork and glue it with special glue.
• Its contrast is very beautiful on dark and white cabinets.

Other economical kitchen cabinet conversions

• We simply insert fashionable tinted mirror glasses into the cabinet doors. By the way, they will visually expand the kitchen.
• We will stick the ceramic tiles on the cabinet doors and place them over the sink - harmoniously and functionally.
• We will screw on new fittings, which will also give an expensive and very stylish look.
• The doors can be trimmed with bamboo mats for an exotic look.
• We can easily make a gilded openwork antique frame for a cabinet from artificial flowers fixed on a simple frame, which we will cover from a spray can with gold paint from a spray can.

So, decorating furniture with paper, fabric, painting will renew and modernize it as much as possible. Numerous photos convinced us that it is possible to transform kitchen furniture without titanic feats of labor and global financial spending. It's all about our sincere desire to successfully update it.
