Furniture of Soviet times - walls, cabinets, dressers - no beauty, but reliable and strong. Well, just a hand not rises to attribute it to the landfill. And right. It is very easy to update, giving a completely new sound and a modern look. The alteration of cabinet type furniture can be not very difficult: there are materials that allow minimal effort to significantly change the appearance. The easiest way is to change the color and accessories. Everything is clear with the fittings - you will pick up what is more suitable for style, and the color changes in two ways - paint and punish the film (or wallpaper).

Alteration of the old wall: change the design

Keep old furniture by self-adhesive film - the easiest option of changing the decor. Film is today both monophonic and color, different colors, textures and shades. To glue the film with a tree pattern does not make sense: not today in the trend. But one-photon or with a pattern is something that can turn the old wall into new furniture. Actions are simple, but work requires accuracy. But the result is excellent. See two photos. On the first old Soviet wall from before the update, on the second - after.

Updating the old furniture wall - before and after

Now about how it was updated. A compacted furniture self-adhesive film, the color of "cream", the surface of the matte was used. The open part of the old wall was closed with glass doors, a translucent matte film was taken for glass. Edging - furniture layout (self-adhesive) chrome color. The order of work is:

• All that can be removed, take off, disassemble. Remove the old fittings.
• Surfaces must be clean and low-fat. It is easier to achieve this with a soft cloth moistened in the cleaning facility. Then everything is washed off with warm water with a small amount of vinegar. Slipped with a dry cloth.
• Cut details. The film is better to cut off 8-10 mm more. The remains are then cut off with a paper knife.
• The resulting item splashes with water from the sprayer. On the wet surface, the film can be moved if something went wrong. You can even spare without damaging it.
• After removing the protective layer from the film, you neatly post. Aligning, begin to smooth up a soft cloth from the middle to the edges. Try to not be bubbles. To do this, you need to move gradually, not jumping from place to place.
• If there is still a bubble, you can pierce with a thin needle approximately in the middle. Then from the edges of the bubble to drive out of the air and sweep the place of the puncture.
• By gluing the film, we take clean thin cotton fabric, spread from above and stroke the warm iron (the heating is medium).
• We glue the finish, install new handles.

Such a sequence of work with every detail. With glass, everything is also, only glued to the inner surface. After assembly, have an updated wall. This technique can be used for any items: chest of drawers, bedside tables, wardrobe, etc.

For example, after a successful experiment with the wall in the same way, the old closet was redested and add it to the right. Now the whole wall is busy. Similarly, you can also update the kitchen set: Bloom the self-adhesive film and replace the handles.

There is a second way. It is a modification of the proposed method, but easier and not so time-consuming. Only doors and not a film, but wallpaper on a fliesline basis. Wallpapers are glued on PVA glue. So that the edges do not go out, the parts are cut on 5 mm less on all sides. It turns out a kind of edging. It looks not bad (example in the photo below).

What is good this way: it is easy to change the decor. Tired of an old appearance, broke the wallpaper, stuck new. Despite the fact that the method seems frivolous, the appearance is preserved for several years. His author tried him even on the kitchen headset. Only wallpaper on top twice are covered with PVA glue. In this case, lockers can be washed. It is important to apply a layer of varnish smoothly, without influx, there are no other difficulties.

Sometimes the wallpaper is covered with varnish. But before doing this, try to do it on an unnecessary piece: see how they react to it.

Choosing a varnish, it must be remembered that acrylic and cellulosic varnishes after drying remain transparent, the polyurethane turns over time. Also, polyurethane almost does not softened with solvents: it can only be removed mechanically (from wood - believed by sandpaper).

Chest update

Old dresser stood unknown how many years in the attic, but very strong and reliable, not a gram of failure, only polished crackled. In the fortress, he is much superior to modern products. This is the trait that is inherent in the old, still Soviet times, furniture. It is not very saturated with details (to put it mildly), but stood for several decades in bad conditions, remains strong. Alteration of the chest is more complicated: two techniques are used: painting, and then decoration using moldings from polyurethane and wallpaper.

Step 1. Remove the accessories, remove the old coating. Plots blocked by places, grinded by sandwich. Squares smeared with a putty on the tree, waited until he dried. At the end stage, everyone was cleaned with a skin with a thin grain. At the same time, the chest of drawers is such as in the photo below.

This is after it is covered and lined with sandpaper

Step 2.. Installing moldings from polyurethane. Choosing moldings, see that they are not surround: too thick on a small dresser will look very rude. They should be not wider than 5 cm and as possible, if you look at them into the profile.

Bought polyurethane moldings are neatly cut, the angles were washed under 45 °. (). The matching pattern must be perfect. We are glued to PVA. For reliability, you can additionally secure on the screws with wide hats. Under them make a slight recess, after the self-tapping screw is spinning, the hole is smelted to putty. Try to put the putty immediately lay down perfectly (you can be spinning with a wet finger), as you can clean it problematic.

Moldings are glued and planted on the self-tapping screw

Step 3. Everything is processed by primer. You can use diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 2 PVA glue. After the primer is dry, paints (two layers). For this occasion, acrylic water-based paint is selected. Color - coffee with milk, although in the photo he looks completely different. Color reproduction inaccurate.

This is already after the second paint applied. Suit

Step 4. For decorating, wallpapers are chosen, in which the coating is made in the technique of silk screen. Slices are cut on the size of the inside of the molding frames, glued on PVA. After drying the glue, the entire chest of drawers twice is covered with water based lacquer.

Step 5. And the latter are installed new legs (furniture wheels) and handles.

Install the handles and legs)) The updated dresser is not at all like the one you saw on the first photo.

As you can see, there is no complex work. Everything is really elementary. But all processes require accuracy - the appearance depends on it. Similarly, you can also update the old Chiffonier. It turns out a set for the room. Stylish and original.

When updating the furniture worse, it is necessary if the surface is lacquered. Varnish is considered long and difficult. If the surface is smooth and polished is not damaged, you can apply soil for complex surfaces, and after drying, you can paint. This greatly accelerates the process of painting lacquered furniture.

If you have children and cottage or yard, you may be interested to read with a lot of photos. And Ob.

How to update the old bedside table

In the photo gallery, you can see the process of restoration of the old polished bedside table. At first, it was removed from it the old polishing, they were covered, polished and after processing it twice painted acrylic paint. Then it was glued to the doors with an interesting pattern (it was a gift paper package). After drying, it was all together was covered with two layers of a coolant acrylic varnish.

The sequence of work is simple, if you know how to do. All processes will be given the sequence of actions that you have seen on the example of the chest update. The result is also impressive.

The alteration of furniture with their own hands is a painstaking case, but the result is worth it. Below the photo is renovated on a simple method of bedside tables: it is saved with relief wallpaper, and on top twice applied varnish.

Stamp alteration

By the same technology, a banal coffee table can be turned into a modern subject of the interior. In this case, it was saved by wrapping paper. It is dense, gluits well and does not rush when applied.

Before starting work on decorating countertops, the legs of the old table and the edges of the table top painted in a light color: it is so more suitable for a new design style. Next began the process of its transformation.

When pasting, the cloth is cut significantly more than the sizes of the countertop. So need. Paper glued on PVA, rolled with roller so that there are no lumps and swolves. The surface must be absolutely smooth.

After stuck, take sandpaper with small grain (it is more convenient to work if it is attached to the bar). By holding it around the edge, the surplus of paper is separated along the edge.

Even cutting on the guillotine you will not get a fairly level edge. And with this method, it is obtained professionally. Independence and does not smell.

After drying the glue, the surface is twice with a thin layer of varnish. It is necessary to apply it with a soft brush in a small amount. The layers are applied in different directions: first along the long side, then across.

Alteration of furniture: photo ideas

The alteration of furniture do it yourself - the matter is creative. Even the boring can make a great thing. And it is not necessary to repeat the seen exactly. Many useful ideas comes during the implementation of the project. It is a pity that something of the conceived turns out to be not so attractive as it seemed. Try, experiment. Before modern technologies allow it to do with minimal costs.

How to Pliste Wall Cabinet: Furniture Restoration Ways

Good old furniture can be updated with their own hands. Cabinet Casting Wallpaper is the most accessible design receipt that does not require skills and attachments. I'll tell you about budget ways to restore furniture.

The essence of the problem

Over time, the furniture loses novels, looks old-fashioned, does not fit into the interior of the room, has defects: scratches, cracks, chips. You can update the cabinet with your own hands in one day. There are ways of furniture design, even newcomer, without skills and knowledge.

The most popular reception - pasting wallpaper. Using the trimming of honeycloths, which remained after repair, you decorate the closet and update the interior. You can accumulate the wardrobe with the same canvases or combine pieces of different types. In any case, your furniture will become an exclusive.

Choice of wallpaper

A good result depends on the quality of wallpaper. Thin paper should not be taken - they quickly twist, they are torn and cause difficulties in the work.

Take vinyl, and better fliseline. This category has a dense, elastic foundation that can reach. Such species are convenient to trim the corners and cut the canvas.

Color, drawing and texture must be harmonized with the setting and selected individually. I offer a few examples:

• For rooms in light colors, the cabinet is made bright or on the tone of the walls, but with a catchy pattern.
• Colorful wall cover pattern - the cabinet is necessarily monophonic.
• In small rooms are used by the reception of one-window. Furniture facade is done in unison with walls.
• For kitchen cabinets, choose options for marble or wood structure.
• Lovers of non-standard interiors use photo wallpapers.
• Self-adhesive wallpaper greatly simplifies the work and relevant to the decor of the facades.

It is important to take into account performance. On the roll label schematically displays moisture resistance, tolerance to UV rays. Large defects, potholes on the outdoor panels manage to "hide" under the canvas with thick color, small pattern, vinyl spraying.

Cabinet salary

Any wardrobe can be decorated. Stocking is applied not only on facade panels. Restoration can affect all parts that you will be periodically before your eyes: all internal space, including retractable boxes.

Decor facade, doors and side walls

If partial pasting is planned, the facade cannot be excluded. This is a central element that is constantly in sight. You can exclude updating internal boxes, side walls.

Decorative design has several options: a single coating or alternation of several materials. Many prefer to apply a bulk patchwork. Such a technique consists of alternating different wallpapers, sliced \u200b\u200bwith squares or rectangles. The finished product pleases brightness and variety.

Color and stylistic solutions depend on your taste, desire and general design of the room. Experiment with shades, contrast, drawing. In a monoton room with pastel walls, make a creative wardrobe with rainbow bright doors.

Decor of the rear wall of the rack

There is no door in the rack, the rear wall is visible through the open shelves. An excellent solution will be the internal panel pasting. On a beautiful background, any items mounted on the shelves will be wondering: dishes, figurines, vases, souvenirs, etc.

Decorating the rear wall of the rack, choose wallpapers, contrasting with walls. Your task is to designate and highlight the cabinet. I wonder the walls with patterns and geometric pattern.

You can use a factory monophonic fliesline or vinyl, which remains from the repair of the neighboring room. This reception connects the premises and creates a comfort.

If the rack has a sectional design, then for each part, select different wallpapers. You will get a large-scale imitation of patchwork sewing.

Decor inside the cabinet: boxes, walls, doors

The facade of the cabinet estimates the guest, only the owner looks into the inside, so not everyone decorate the inner space. If a good appearance is important for the interior, then the filling pleases only households.

Wallpaper you can decorate the opposite side of the door, shelves, the inner walls of the cabinet, boxes. Hidden from foreign explosions of the cabinet, will create a neat look. There are no special recommendations here, it all depends on your preferences or the presence of wallpaper residues.

Some like it when the open-red outdoor door, someone makes a tone with an outdoor finish. The predominance in the wardrobe is a monotonous thing, it will be good to complement the interior with an ornament or with bright flower. For any options, two colored stripes or a small cell will suit.

Self-tech is applied only on a clean and low-fat surface (alcohol, solvent). If it turned out bubbles, they are poured with a needle and smoothed with a dry cloth.

First of all, handles, moldings and other fittings, located on the working surfaces, are dismantled. Free the cabinet from the filling: lingerie, shelves, boxes.

We prepare the surface under pasting - it should turn out to be smooth and matte. On a wooden surface, slightly walk the eye.

If the closet is lacquered, then it needs to be cleaned from varnish. A grinding machine will help, the second option is sandpaper and physical effort. In conclusion, remove the dust with a wet cloth and dry.

We look at the subject of defects. If there are chips, damage, cracks - smear the twin. After drying, skin sandpaper and soil. The cabinet is ready for sticking.

Sticking wallpaper

The stilt process is the final stage and the most responsible, the appearance of the updated cabinet depends on the quality of the stick. The work consists of several stages.

1. Remove the froze the selected item.
2. We carry on the canvas, make the pattern or cut off the desired length.

In the presence of free time, you can not go buy a new item in the room, but to redo the old chest.

To begin with, it is necessary to accurately visualize the final result of the work, clean the room for work and, acquire the necessary materials.

For the transformation of the chest:

This is a standard instruction that would restore the old furniture. Depending on the material from which the chest of drawers is made using suitable tools.

In the process of reconstruction, you will need:

Necessary materials and tools

From materials needed:

• sandpaper, logsik;
• machine for grinding, hammer;
• hacksaw, spatula;
• fire, nails, selflessness;
• glue, roller, brushes and paints;
• Chipboard, fiberboard or plywood.

Preparatory work

It is necessary to prepare space where the furniture will transform. On the floor, the chalk of newspapers or thick polyethylene.

The furniture needs to wipe the dry cloth from dust and, carefully examine the presence of defects.

Notice:

• swollen coating;
• deep cracks;
• dents;
• sticking nails;
• traces of pests of rodents and insects.

Next, they remove the old coating layer, get rid of swollen places - remove, if necessary, the top layer of wood. Rights on wooden surfaces are eliminated by the electrolabank. Sometimes you have to use foreign items to get rid of dust that scored in a gap - an old toothbrush. The handles are unscrewed, not restored replaced with new fittings. Then wash, give dry, covered with primer. If the material is not a tree, then putty.

No need to use high alkali or acid washing.

Process of coloring

After complete purification and coating of the primer, the surface is covered with the first layer. The coating is selected resistant to mechanical damage and abrasion. Emalevy is not used for restoration, but the oil is also not suitable. An acceptable option is acrylic.

This is an expensive material, but the price is justified by:

• there is no caustic smell;
• does not harm;
• it is not required to breed a solvent;
• changes color when adding a kolacher;
• reaches a reaction with water, which contributes to an increase in paint volume.

To repaint, you need to remove the old coating, handle the tree to the putty and polish, then make painting. On the surface there may be a pattern or discovering finish. These parts are painted with a thin brush. The upper and side pieces are painted with a roller, with its absence, the surface is painted with a wide brush along a wooden sleeper.

Painting of the chest perpendicular to the speaker leads to visible strips after drying the layer. You can paint white, blue, gold and other colors.

Painting acrylic erratants spend several times. After drying the layers, covered with varnish. Low quality varnish has a short shelf life. Dresser cracks regardless of whether the sun rays fall on it or not.

High-quality varnish meets the requirements:

• composition on water basis;
• there is no sharp smell;
• it is used without means of protection for a person.

Ship and floor varnishes will spoil the surface.

Restoration methods

Restore the old furniture is possible by several methods:

Collecture method

One-step cracker is characterized by small cracks, which are difficult to make ordinary paint. If necessary, cover with a layer of paint, then crockel lacquer. Varnish should be applied in 2-3 layers. For quick drying, use hairdryer. Next apply the last layer. You don't need to drive a brush in one place in one place, paint with a varnish rolls in lumps.

The peculiarity of this method is that the cracks are not formed from paint. The last layer of varnish is a catalyst for the formation of cracks. The tree is covered with the first layer of varnish and paint, give to dry. Then covered with decorative crockel lacquer.

As part of varnish there is a pigment that, when drying, varnish is tightened with paint. The first cracks are watched by oil paint, pastel. It is possible to use cosmetics. To complete the chest of drawers are coated with a conventional layer of varnish.

Decoupage method

Decoupage combines the formation and adhesive scenery.

For scuffs, the veil is used, which is applied with a dry brush. Following the layer of dark-colored acrylic, the dried layer is treated with wax, the last layer of coating is applied. The surface dries 3-4 hours. For scenery, stencils or large paper prints are used. Small pictures glue PVA glue in chaotic order. Covered by a layer of varnish.

Building

The surface in this case is purified, the dark color of the coating is applied to the accent sections. Proceed with wax, and covered with varnish. Instead of wax, you can use sandpaper. Then the layer of varnish is applied twice.

It is not difficult to transform, it does not take much time.

Do not save on materials to restore the chest.
