Give your kitchen a new life with a few quick and easy tips by reusing the key elements of your furniture that are still functional. No need to be a DIY pro for that! Here’s how to transform your kitchen in no time.

Repainting kitchen furniture: no more tedious stripping!

To give your furniture a youthful look, there’s no need to sand or strip before painting. Whether it’s wood or laminate, simply apply a suitable paint in two coats. V33 paints are available in 10 colors and can be used on all types of surfaces. For resin fans, opt for the V33 Kitchen Renovation range, available in 12 shades and can be applied directly on the furniture. Also, consider choosing a satin paint for the inside of cabinets, which is more resistant to cleaning products.

Redecorating the inside of kitchen cabinets

Once you have chosen the color for the facades, why not freshen up the inside of your cabinets? If they are stained or discolored, repaint them white. You can also play with colors between the inside of the cabinets and the facades to create a harmonious overall effect.

Modernizing rustic kitchen furniture

To give a new lease of life to your rustic kitchen, consider removing moldings and other decorations from the doors of your furniture to offer a smooth and modern facade. You can even paint the front of a tall cabinet with chalkboard paint to write grocery lists or sweet notes. If you want a country house or seaside style, feel free to replace some doors with linen or jute curtains.

Changing the handles of your kitchen furniture

After modernizing your furniture, it’s time to think about the handles on the drawers and cabinets. Visit a hardware store or a specialty shop to choose modern designed handles and knobs in stainless steel, resin, brushed steel… All for just a few euros! Decor tip: wait until you have repainted your furniture before choosing the new handles to ensure they match perfectly with the new style of your kitchen.

Adding indirect lighting over countertops

To add a finishing touch to your kitchen renovation, install indirect lighting over your countertops. Opt for daylight-type lighting that does not distort the colors of food and utensils. You can also choose to equip the shelves above the countertops with LED strips or small lamps to further highlight the space.
