Indoor furniture films can easily give your home a new look. For kitchen cabinets and countertops that are greasy and yellow, apply a layer of oil-resistant and high-temperature-resistant imitation paint or imitation marble film, and they will be transformed into a fresh and tidy appearance in one day, and the oil stains can be wiped off. Is the door scratched or faded? Choose imitation cloth or wood grain films that match the style of your home, which can cover the flaws in a few hours and match the overall style.
"I originally planned to spend tens of thousands of yuan to replace the cabinets, but I didn't expect that applying the film would be like changing into a new home!" Ms. Wang looked at the brand new kitchen and couldn't hide her surprise. This is not magic, but the magical effect of indoor furniture film. In recent years, furniture film has become a new choice for home renovation with its advantages of low cost, high cost performance and convenient construction. From greasy kitchen countertops to faded doors, a thin film can give old furniture a new lease of life. Let's take a look at two real cases to see how the film can "change" a beautiful home.
Kitchen film: From oily areas to fresh kitchens
Ms. Li's kitchen has been used for 8 years. The cabinet door panels have long been yellowed by oil smoke, and the marble patterns on the countertops have become blurred due to years of wiping. "Every time I cook, I feel upset when I see the greasy cabinets, but it costs at least 50,000 yuan to replace a new cabinet, and I have to stop work for half a month. It's too troublesome." Ms. Li said that after accidentally seeing the recommendation of furniture film in the community owner group, she contacted the construction team with a try-it mentality.
The construction team first cleaned the cabinets thoroughly, using a special cleaner to remove oil and stubborn stains, and then gently sanded the surface of the door panels with sandpaper to ensure that the film can fit tightly. Considering that Ms. Li likes a simple and fresh style, the designer recommended an off-white imitation paint film, which is not only resistant to oil and high temperature, but also can simulate a smooth and delicate paint texture.
When cutting the film, the masters accurately cut the material according to the size of the cabinet door panels, and even the arc of the corners was handled tightly. During the film application process, they used a scraper to carefully remove bubbles to ensure that the film surface was flat and wrinkle-free. In just one day, the entire kitchen cabinets, countertops, and even the surface of the range hood were renovated with film.
The finished kitchen is eye-catching: the marble-like countertop has clear lines, as if it was a new product that had just been installed. Friends who came to visit said that they couldn't tell that it was old furniture with film applied. The cost performance far exceeded expectations.
The old door has a new look, with a more unified style
Although the quality of the solid wood door remains the same, the paint layer on the surface has many scratches and faded, which is incompatible with the newly renovated Nordic style living room. "Replacing three doors will cost more than 10,000 yuan, and removing the doors for installation will damage the wall, which is not cost-effective." At the suggestion of the designer, he chose to renovate the door with film.
Before construction, the masters first checked the flatness of the door, filled the small dents with putty, and polished it smooth after drying. Considering the light gray walls and log floors in the living room, the designer recommended a light gray imitation cloth film, which has a delicate texture and can perfectly blend with the Nordic style.
When applying the film, the masters first sprayed a small amount of clean water on the surface of the door, and then gently covered the cut film, while using a scraper to remove moisture and bubbles, and adjusting the position to ensure that the pattern is aligned. For the complex arcs around the door handle, they used a utility knife to accurately cut to ensure that the edges of the film are neat and docile.
Three hours later, the three old doors were completely "renovated": the light gray cloth film felt warm, scratches and fading were completely covered, and even the gaps between the doors and door frames were treated to be tightly closed. "From a distance, it looks like a newly bought door, and the color matches the style of the living room very well.
Indoor furniture film renovation has become the first choice for more and more families with its advantages of low cost, high efficiency and less trouble. No large-scale construction is required, just a suitable film can give old furniture a new lease of life and make every corner of the home full of freshness.
