What is the process of painting a kitchen? The preparation is the key and must be completed to the highest of standards;

First; it is advisable to empty all kitchen units. What better prompt to have a clear out? The meticulous preparation must then continue to mask and protect flooring and worktops. This will reduce paint spots and ensure there are no accidents. The best skilled professionals will take time to complete this.

Each door, drawer front and even hinge should then be labelled to make sure they return to their original position.

Surfaces should be abraded, cleaned and finished with a vacuum or tack rag. All surfaces should then be primed with a high performance primer; and if done correctly becomes a perfect platform for subsequent coats.

Finishing coats will then be applied and will vary between two to three coats depending on the original material. Sanding between coats is an important step and the end product will become visible.

Once all required elements have been painted; all masking tape and dust sheets should be carefully removed so doors and drawers can be hung. All hinges should be checked so all drawers and doors line up appropriately. A passionate decorator will then clear and clean the room so that the true impact can be felt on inspection from the customer.

A hand painted kitchen can refresh and reinvigorate your home; it is an economical home improvement alternative!
