Wall painting design in the kitchen - how to choose a color?

Painted walls in the kitchen will help make the interior unique.
The most difficult moment is the choice of the basic, or dominant, shade. There are 2 approaches:

Application technology
The choice of a specific technology for applying paint to the surface depends on the type of substrate and binder. However, there are a number of common technological issues:
- Before painting remove the platbands from the doors and baseboards, free the room as much as possible.
- Carefully cover the remaining surfaces so that the risk of staining them is minimized. It is advisable to close the windows, doors and the kitchen apron with a polyethylene film fixed with masking tape. Cover the floor with polyethylene or spread on it wallpaper, old newspapers.
- Paint on the surface is applied with a roller or brush. To obtain uniform staining, 2-3 layers are required. The walls in the kitchen for painting should be well aligned. A subsequent coat of paint can only be applied after the previous coat is completely dry. Often, inexperienced craftsmen try to paint over the entire surface from the very first layer. This only worsens the quality of staining, leading to the appearance of sagging. And the cost of coverage increases significantly.
- If the main part of the wall is painted with a roller, then hard-to-reach areas are treated with a brush. The direction of application of paint in adjacent layers is mutually perpendicular.
Important! After the painting work is completed, there is no need to rush to test the surfaces to see if they are easy to wash. There are paints that acquire all the necessary operational properties only a month after staining.

What kind of paint to choose for painting walls in the kitchen is relatively clear. Now let's talk about the decor. Using the mural allows you to make notes of fun in the interior. Oddly enough, it is easier to apply an ornament to a wall than a drawing.A stencil is enough for drawing an ornament, and drawing on a wall requires artistic abilities. For the manufacture of a stencil, thick paper pasted with tape is used (it is easier to cut it this way). There are also ready-made stencils on polyethylene for sale.
The stencil is fixed to the wall with masking tape. A foam sponge is well suited for applying paint. Since you need very little paint, it dries quickly enough.
