What to spend money - to buy new furniture or on good vacation? If such a question arose before you, prefer to rest. Respublied, smashing and full of impressions, you can with double energy take up the restoration of the old furniture.

Doors of kitchen heads, cabinets and bedside tables often need not only in updating the facade, but also in replacing accessories. Listed doors say that you need to tighten or change the loops. Cup loops are attached on four fastening screws. Remove the screws and insert wooden tubes into the nests using liquid nails. If the wood or chipboard is widened, set the loops elsewhere. Loops that cannot be adjusted should be replaced with new ones.

By purchasing new loops, look at the handles. The original design of the door handles is able to change the appearance of your furniture. Furniture handles of various sizes and shapes performed in one style, beautifully look at the kitchen headsets.

Plastic or painted facade of the kitchen headset or cabinet can be updated with a self-adhesive film. The choice of drawing and coloring of such a film is huge. The film is produced in a width of 45, 60 and 90 cm. Remove the size of the doors and calculate what the width of the film is more profitable for you to buy less waste.

To correctly shove the film, it suffices to comply with simple rules. Unscrew the handles. Remove traces of fat and contamination from the surface. Dry wipe. Cut the film with a 6 cm in height and width. Do not remove the entire substrate at once with a sliced \u200b\u200bpiece. The self-adhesive film has an unpleasant feature - due to the power of the electrostatic voltage it is attracted to the surface. While you will equalize the film on the edge of the door, its mean without your help will stick not where necessary:

  • Separate a film from the substrate no more than 10 cm.
  • Wrap a paper substrate down, and the edge of the film gently attach to the top edge of the door.
  • Pull the paper substrate evenly. Watch that there is no distortion.
  • Filmed from the substrate, press the surface to the surface, while straightening and removing air bubbles.
  • Do not try to sneak at once a large plot. Promotion from top to bottom does not hurry - by 1.5-2 cm.
  • Surplus film cut around the edges of the sharp blade of the construction or stationery knife.
  • Replace the handle.

Wood facades will require more painting work. Old varnish or paint need to be cleaned with large sandpaper. Then pollute the shallow sandpaper. Swim dust and leak up the surface. The paint is applied using a roller in two layers after complete drying of the primer or the previous layer of paint. The roller makes it possible to evenly roll out the paint, the stripes will remain from the brush. The drawing, applied to the stencil, will revive your interior.
