Kitchens with painted facades. Exclusive do-it-yourself decor: the basics of furniture painting The simplest technologies

Let's start with the fact that the wall art in the kitchen is a serious matter. In the kitchen, especially combined with the dining room, you spend a lot of time - both preparing food and chatting with family and friends. Therefore, the preparatory work - the choice of drawing and execution technique, the priming of the wall for painting - will require no less of your attention than the choice of wallpaper or painting for other living quarters.

Styles

So, how do you want to decorate the kitchen with painting?

"Country"

The design of the kitchen "country", i.e. country style, popular for many years. But, nevertheless, even with the advent of many other styles and technological possibilities, it is widely used. The warm atmosphere of this style is easily achieved through painting.

If you want to paint a kitchen in the Provence style, remember that in this case there are always color shades typical of the landscapes of the south of France with its boundless lavender and pink fields, plaster with exposed brick or stonework, light and delicate tones of the rest of the decor. "Provence" is all that resembles the silence and comfort of a small house in the Mediterranean south.

But the loft style, which emerged from the arrangement of abandoned industrial premises, has recently become popular not only among poor students, as before, but also among wealthy people. The space in it is decided stylistically as an attic or attic. Often, when decorating a “loft” kitchen, drawing with chalk on a slate board or chalk wallpaper (lettering) is used. It will most likely require some skill, but simple inscriptions can be dealt with without special training.

Hi-tech, or minimalist style is also inherent in design solutions for kitchen interiors. High-tech is sometimes also called "masculine" style for a strict interior (often in a dark or even black tone), the brilliance of many metal, glass and chrome parts. Minimalism tends, as the name of the style implies, to brevity. At the same time, every detail is highly functional, which makes minimalist interiors look like a Japanese dwelling. The presence of artistic painting, of course, will soften the severity of such kitchen interiors.

Abstraction, as an artistic solution, consists in the absence of objectivity and logic in the painting. With the undoubted decorativeness of this style, it is only important not to overload the painted space with flashy colors and images that can quickly get bored.

As opposed to abstract design, it is good to use images of fruits, berries, flowers, kitchen utensils and antique dishes to decorate the kitchen space. You can place and detail the murals in different ways. Natural themes were and remain in demand: stylized trees, fruits, flowers, or butterflies. Additionally, they can decorate any piece of kitchen interior.

Where to begin?

Starting to decorate the kitchen with a painting, do not forget what other goals you are pursuing, besides the fact that you want to make your kitchen individual. You, knowing the style and dimensions of the painting that you will apply, will surely be able to find a huge number of different images suitable for implementing your idea, but you must also take into account the characteristics of this kitchen space. For example, you want to visually enlarge the kitchen. This is usually achieved with the classic technique of a landscape with a distant perspective.

And you can divide the spacious, as in most modern houses, kitchen into separate zones with a wall picture, make it more intimate. In addition, wall painting helps to hide certain flaws in the layout of the kitchen or, on the contrary, emphasize the advantages of the design solution.

If the kitchen is small, then a pattern with large elements will make it visually even smaller. A painting of small sizes, which does not have many details, is more suitable in this case. And for the first time, it is better to choose something that is not difficult in terms of application technique, so that it is easier to complete. In any case, the originality of the design of the kitchen space depends entirely on your taste and skill. When choosing a wall, or several walls, on which the drawing will be applied, consider whether you just need to apply the decor or whether there is a need to additionally decorate the imperfections of the wall and the kitchen space as a whole.

The simplest technologies

To carry out wall painting in the kitchen, you can choose a technique that is suitable for the level of complexity and availability of materials for almost anyone who wants to make a painting with their own hands.

For wallpaper to be painted

It is not difficult to make a drawing on the wall yourself, but the basis for applying the drawing - in this case, the wallpaper - must be of high quality. An excellent option for this is wallpaper for painting, it doesn’t matter if they are white or colored. White wallpaper can always be painted in a color that suits you. After pasting the wall on which the painting is applied, the glued wallpaper is painted with the color scheme of the desired (for example, dark brown) color, then a drawing is applied over the dried paint. Take your time and wait about a week for the paint on the wallpaper to dry well before the pattern is applied to it.

If the drawing is applied by hand, then a sketch for it should be prepared in advance. Remember that drawing with a brush requires drawing skills, and this is a fairly long process.

What to draw?

You may find it more convenient to apply a pattern to the wallpaper using the so-called textured roller. The textured roller is made up of two: a roller with a pattern and a regular rubber one. The technology of work is simple and very similar to painting, but, nevertheless, it is better to practice on an unnecessary piece of wallpaper first. The image shows the drawing technique using a textured roller. This technology is especially convenient when applying a floral or geometric pattern to the wallpaper. Remember that before applying a geometric pattern, you should mark the walls under it.

Stencil

Stencil painting is quite affordable both in terms of technique and materials. Drawing a picture using a stencil does not require special skills and costs: you can risk painting even without special education. But in any case, the kitchen walls, which are supposed to be painted, must also be prepared. Tools can also be the most common used for repairs: roller, brushes, sponge. Acrylic paints are best used for screen painting, they adhere well to the surface, are non-toxic and durable. You can use acrylic paste or fine-grained plaster.

But when choosing from a huge number of available stencils, your personality and the presence of a clear vision of how your kitchen will look should affect. Stencils can be bought in many hardware or online stores, but it is more interesting to make them yourself. It is most convenient to work with polymer film stencils that can be glued to the wall: they are easy to clean and reusable.

The French Provence style has easily taken root in our homes and has remained at the peak of popularity for many years now. One of its distinguishing features is a calm, natural color scheme. These are light shades of sand, cold green and blue colors, terracotta tones, natural wood. The finished look of such an interior will be given by vintage and antique accessories, as well as color accents, in particular, painting of furniture facades.

Where to begin? Do-it-yourself painting on kitchen facades is not so difficult. It is enough to have minimal drawing skills. The stages of painting can be found on the example of this kitchen.

First of all, you need to decide on the plot of the picture and its color scheme. Delicate small bouquets of field plants and herbs are typical for painting in the Provence style. And one of the most popular plots is a composition of lavender sprigs. It was this motif that was used to paint the facades of this kitchen. To determine the color scheme, coloring is done on a piece of paper using colored pencils. It gives a visual representation of how the selected colors are in harmony with each other.

The next step is to create a sketch. When arranging a bouquet, one should take into account both the proportions of the kitchen facades and the dimensions of the room itself. In small kitchens, graceful compositions consisting of several flower stalks and field herbs will look most harmonious. If the kitchen facades are of different widths, then for larger doors, the main bouquet should be increased by adding a few more flowers to it.

Choice of materials. Most artists prefer to use acrylic paints for painting. They fit well on the base, dry quickly, do not fade in the sun. The disadvantage of this material is not too high resistance to mechanical damage. Therefore, the finished painting will have to be covered with a protective varnish. It is not necessary to varnish the drawing with oil paints. You can speed up the work with oil paints by using a thinner with a desiccant (a special substance that reduces the drying time of the paint).

Regardless of the type of paint you choose, you will need:
simple pencil (hardness B) for drawing the outline of the design on the facade
several soft brushes of different thicknesses
palette for mixing paints
thinner oiler

Layout and layout. In order to visualize the arrangement of images on the facades more clearly, you need to draw the outlines of the bouquets (in natural size) on tracing paper and attach them to the doors using masking tape or double-sided adhesive tape with low adhesion.

After the locations of the bouquets are determined, the tracing paper is removed and the drawing is started. If the performer does not have the skills of painting facades, then the images should be marked out overall: in the places where the bouquets are placed (using a tape measure and a pencil), draw rectangles according to the largest dimensions (height and width) of the picture. Then the contour of the future painting fits into the rectangle. No need to strive to withstand the size of each twig or flower to a millimeter. A slight “negligence” of the drawing will show that it is made by hand.

Drawing drawing. First, underpainting is applied along the contour of the drawing - the main colors that will eat out the outlines of the image.

A good way to decorate, update or give the elements of the decor a certain style is to paint the furniture. From any, even the oldest interior items, you can create a unique work of art. Everything is limited only by imagination and patience.

Of course, there are no restrictions on the choice of subjects. The main factor determining suitability is the material. For the implementation of the plan, old furniture made of wood is better suited. This is precisely its value relative to modern products made from chipboard and fiberboard. “Sawdust furniture” is definitely not suitable.

Wood surfaces are easier to work with. Old paint or varnish can be easily removed, various defects (chips, cracks) can be removed or left to give the effect of "aging". In addition, most of the ways of applying drawings are designed specifically for wood. Any pattern or ornament looks good under varnish on a wood texture. Suitable furniture, covered with natural veneer. An example of this is an old wardrobe or chest of drawers made of multilayer veneered plywood. After removing the old varnish or paint, the surface is primed, painted in the desired color and a pattern is applied.

But furniture made from modern materials should not be deleted from the list. Acrylic-coated MDF facades can be painted in any style after some preparation. Acrylic coating is a layer of paint that is polished after drying. This type of coating is often used in the manufacture of facades of kitchen sets.

Modern paints and varnishes allow them to be applied over various coatings. There are also paints designed for painting glass without special preparation.

Popular painting options

The most common option is a simple decorative painting of furniture. Basically, this is the application of small elements, ornaments or repeating patterns. For a simple drawing, paint of the same color is used, and to simplify the process, templates or stencils are used for painting. This type of decoration is suitable for modern furniture. Gilding is widespread. This type of painting is typical for interiors in classical styles. Figured elements of furniture decoration are decorated under gold.

A more complex option is art painting. This is a rather painstaking work, all stages of the kora are performed manually, including the smallest details. Painting on furniture can be in the form of a pattern or a small fragment, as well as a complex three-dimensional pattern. Author's works are especially appreciated.

A separate place is occupied by the manufacture of semi-antique interior items. This also includes the restoration of old furniture. Various painting techniques and styles are used in the work. Surfaces and trim elements are subjected to "aging" in various ways. Antiques are very popular among wealthy people and collectors. Usually this type of decoration is made to order.

Necessary tools and materials

Coating paint

The final result directly depends on the choice of paint. The basis for the coating is a primer. It must be designed for woodworking. Acrylic-based primer does a good job.

Any latex or acrylic paint will work for the top coat. The surface is better to make matte. Gloss doesn't always look good. A good option would be paint in an aerosol can. This will allow you to apply it in an even layer.

Acrylic paints are often used for furniture painting. They are well suited for drawing various patterns. You can also use oil blends. Their traditional purpose is painting.

varnish

It acts as a protective coating. It is possible to use alkyd or acrylic varnish for furniture. Also, like paint, it can be matte or glossy. Applying a layer of varnish over the drawing is the final stage of work.

Paint brushes and roller

A roller may be needed to apply primer and paint over a large area. With curly elements, a wide brush will help to cope.

Paint brushes, pencil, paper and ruler

It is convenient to draw small patterns and lines with the help of thin artistic brushes. For acrylic paint, it is better to use brushes with synthetic bristles. It won't stick. Oil paint will require a brush with natural bristles.

A simple pencil, paper and ruler will come in handy for creating sketches and marking the surface for the drawing. In addition, you may need to make templates or stencils for painting.

Surface preparation tool

You can clean furniture from old varnish or paint by sanding it with sandpaper. You will need "sandpaper" of different grain sizes for a more thorough surface treatment. In some places, the old coating will have to be removed with a spatula.

You can remove some types of varnish or paint from old furniture using special chemicals. You can find them at any hardware store.

To remove dust, stock up on rags. A brush with a long and hard bristle will help to sweep dirt out of cracks and other hard-to-reach places.

How to create a design and bring an idea to life

Do-it-yourself furniture painting is a long and painstaking work. The process may take a long time. Sometimes it takes more than one day or even a week. It is especially difficult if there is no experience in such a matter, it does not matter if we paint old furniture or give a new look to modern objects.

For beginners, a few tips will not be superfluous:

Any work begins with a sketch or sketch. You can develop a design yourself or borrow the idea of painting furniture from a photo on the Internet. In any case, transferring a drawing from paper will be easier than inventing everything on the go;
In the absence of experience, you should not immediately take on a large amount of work. First, paint a small object;
If it is possible to disassemble the furniture - do it. The individual parts are much easier to work with;
Free space. There should be enough space to work. It is possible that the furniture will have to be rotated, tilted or moved;
Do not neglect the quality of surface preparation. Polishing defects can spoil the look of even a very talented painting. Dust and small particles lead to the same result;
A primer is a must for painting or painting. It is easier to work on a surface covered with soil;
Each layer of primer, paint or painting requires thorough drying. Minimum - a day for each layer.

The process of implementing an idea consists of several stages. The first of these is preparation for priming and painting. The classic option with old wooden furniture involves removing the paintwork. To do this, you will need coarse and medium grit sandpaper or a special chemical agent - a wash and a spatula.

After cleaning from varnish and paint, the surface must be sanded with fine sandpaper. This will get rid of excessive roughness and small scratches. If there are large chips and cracks on the furniture, they are puttied and sanded;
The next step is the application of soil. This is done with a brush or roller. Drops and streaks should be avoided. In extreme cases, you can get rid of them using a sponge, or wait for the layer to dry and sand it with sandpaper;
Next comes the painting. The paint is applied in two or three thin layers. The result should be a smooth and even surface. After drying, you can proceed to the most interesting, but no less time-consuming stage - drawing;
Painted furniture is not necessarily an old wardrobe or chest of drawers, covered with patterns on all sides. More often it is a small pattern or a repeating pattern. To apply the same patterns, use a stencil or template. These can be simple butterfly stencils, small patterns, or large patterns with complex patterns.

There is more than one way to apply a pattern to furniture. Hand painting is especially appreciated. Painting can be considered the pinnacle of skill. Combining various ways and techniques of painting, it is possible to create truly unique things:

Those who do not own a brush can use the decoupage technique. This method is usually used on small pieces of furniture, but large surfaces can also be decorated;
The final stage of work is the coating of the painting with a transparent varnish. It is advisable to apply several layers. This will save the drawing from accidental damage and make it possible to wipe or wash the furniture.

The art of painting makes any item unique. You can paint furniture using any traditional or modern direction. Furniture painting in the Russian style is very popular: Khokhloma, Zhostovo, Mezen. Each of them is unique in its own way. And of course, nothing prevents you from creating your own, no less unique style.
