As practice shows, the kitchen is the place where we spend most of our time, so the design of this room can become boring faster than in other rooms.

Buying a new kitchen set can be quite expensive, so designer Yulia Tychino, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, believes that the best option is to work on what you already have.

The easiest way to update your kitchen is to repaint the fronts in a different color. However, to make the work successful, you need to follow a few basic rules.

Before you begin painting, sand smooth surfaces to create a rough surface and improve adhesion to the primer.

Use a primer with a high adhesion level to ensure better adhesion of the paint to the surface.

For the first coat of paint, dilute it with water to the consistency of liquid kefir - this way it will be applied evenly. Subsequent coats can be undiluted.

To paint the furniture, use a roller, and paint hard-to-reach areas with a sponge.

After each layer has dried, sand the surface and wipe off any dust that has formed from the facades.

Finally, cover the painted facades with two or three layers of clear varnish to increase the strength, durability and ease of maintenance of the surface.
