With your own hands? Learn furniture painting tips. This will make a surprisingly beautiful and at the same time functional decoration for the kitchen or living room.

Where to begin?

Recently, the demand for all hand-made goods has grown significantly. This also applies to furniture. Any author's thing is exclusive and is quite expensive. If you have free time and a desire to create a work of art with your own hands, then you should master the technique of painting furniture. By choosing a single style or a specific plot, you can make a whole set. And if you add it with the same elements in the ceiling, you will get a man-made living space of amazing beauty, which all your relatives and friends will envy.

Materials used

If you have no idea about painting furniture at all and have never held a brush in your hands, you should first master the decoupage technique, which uses ready-made images to be applied to a prepared surface. Only some elements can be completed manually, and stencils are often used, which greatly facilitate the work.

The second option is painting furniture with acrylic paints. It requires a lot of time, effort and patience, but the result is worth it. As a first experience, it is better to take a small object: a stool, a chair. You can turn an ordinary wooden box into a great chest for shoes or other things. It is worth noting that the furniture that you will paint should be made of natural wood, do not use substitutes. You create an exclusive that should look luxurious.

You will need acrylic paints. They create a waterproof surface and are great for wood. They are sold in sets or individual tubes. You can purchase only those shades that are useful to you in the package of the required volume. It is better to buy brushes synthetic or with mixed pile. Even special types designed for acrylic are now being produced. It is better not to use natural ones, as they can stick together and deteriorate, especially for novice artists. Brushes should be both wide, designed to fill large areas of the background, and thin, used to work out small details.

You may also need a special primer to treat the surface before painting, but this layer is not always done. If you decide to create the effect of cracks, age the surface, you will have to buy additional compounds specifically designed for this purpose. There are also improvised means that allow you to obtain similar effects: PVA glue, varnish, gelatin, egg white. To create iridescent, mother-of-pearl parts or a textured surface effect, special mixtures will also be required. To begin with, you can try to perform the usual painting without additional decorations.

Baby room exclusive

Very often, young mothers try to do something special for their baby, including in the interior of his bedroom or playroom. Painting children's furniture was popular back in Soviet times. It was often possible to see neat tables and chairs in preschool institutions, made under Khokhloma. They are still on sale and in demand.

So making a hand-made kit is quite within your power. If the child has already grown up to paint with paints, you can turn this into a process of joint creativity.

The plots of children's fairy tales are perfect here. In the girl's room, handmade furniture in the style of a princess castle will look very cute.

provincial style

If you decide to make an exclusive decorative element for the kitchen, bedroom or living room, choose the French country style. It combines the splendor of southern nature and the sea. Furniture painting in the Provence style involves the use of certain tones and patterns. The color may be as follows:

• white;
• cream;
• light green;
• lavender;
• brown;
• shade of light wood.

Painted in this style are furniture elements such as sideboards, chests of drawers, bookshelves with mezzanines and benches, benches, tables and cabinets, massive dining tables. The choice is large enough. Facades are usually decorated with floral patterns. A characteristic feature of furniture painting in the Provence style is artificial aging, obtaining the effect of cracks, chipped pieces of the paint layer. All this can be done independently, combining several different techniques.

So, you have learned about the great possibilities of hand-painting furniture with acrylic paints. Choose the style that suits you and turn an ordinary wooden table, chair or stool into a work of art.

Hello dear guests!
The kitchen is the embodiment of the well-being of the home, according to the followers of the ancient teachings of Feng Shui. The warmer, cozier and more welcoming it is, the healthier and happier your family will be.
Each science has its own rules, today I want to talk about how to properly equip the kitchen according to Feng Shui.
The main taboo for the kitchen, according to Feng Shui, is clutter, garbage and unnecessary things that clutter up the space. Surprisingly, but true: all this can manifest itself as a mess in your life and even being overweight. The first thing you should do if you want to clean up your own life is cleaning your kitchen cabinets. Organize in them a storage system that is convenient for you. And remove from the countertop what you do not use every day.
Cracked cups and plates with a chipped edge, according to Feng Shui, are best sent to the trash immediately. In a kitchen with good Feng Shui, there is no place for broken household appliances. Therefore, you should not store a non-working toaster in the closet in the hope of someday fixing it.
Immediately change leaking faucets in the kitchen, they take away the well-being of your home. Treat your kitchen with love, and harmony and favorable feng shui will always reign in it.

Main rules:
1. According to Feng Shui, the entrance to the kitchen should not be located opposite the front door. Otherwise, dangerous energies from outside can harm your well-being. Not the best option if the kitchen is located at the entrance to the apartment. According to Feng Shui, because of this, wealth will easily leave your home.
Alternatively, experts recommend hanging something bright next to the kitchen door to draw attention away from the entrance to the kitchen. Also, wind music or a crystal suspended according to the rules of Feng Shui above the kitchen door will help to correct the situation.
2. Protrusions and height differences do not contribute to good feng shui of the kitchen. According to Feng Shui, you should not divide the kitchen into zones using floors of different levels, podiums, steps, as well as ceiling beams and ledges. The ideal feng shui kitchen is on the same level as the rest of the rooms, and above all, the dining room.
3. The Feng Shui teaching advises to beware of the contradiction of the elements of Fire and Water in the kitchen. According to experts, a good feng shui kitchen design is based on the traditional triangle model, the tops of which are the sink, refrigerator and stove. If you adhere to this principle of Feng Shui, then different elements in your kitchen will coexist quite harmoniously.
The element of Fire - that is, a stove or microwave - should not coexist with the elements of Water - a refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine or sink. Otherwise, there will be constant quarrels and strife in the family. Feng Shui experts advise: they can be separated by a wooden piece of furniture or a houseplant, greenish wall tiles or green-brown ornaments. After all, the Tree is a kind of mediator between Fire and Water.
4. In the interior of the Feng Shui kitchen, preference should be given to light pastel shades of green, yellow, brown and orange or white. And the rest of the colors work well as accents.
5. According to Feng Shui, in the kitchen and other rooms of the house, you should not store massive or bulky items above your head. This causes a subconscious strong feeling of anxiety and psychological discomfort. It is important to provide a place to store massive kitchen utensils. If this is not an option and you still have to hang your pots and pans on the wall above your head, try to keep them away from where you cook or sit.
6. Feng Shui does not recommend using mirror tiles or small decorative elements with a reflective effect in the kitchen. They break the reflection into fragments, which means they can “break” your life as well.
7. Protruding corners, sharp objects and open shelves in the feng shui kitchen create negative sha energy. Therefore, in the design of the kitchen, furniture and any “sharp” structural elements should be avoided. If you have to make do with open shelves because you have a small kitchen, Feng Shui recommends keeping round storage containers on them.
8. By the way, knives, forks, scissors and other sharp metal utensils in the kitchen, according to Feng Shui rules, must be kept in a closed box.
9. Another rule: the one who prepares food should always immediately see the one who enters the kitchen. This allows you to reign in the house of calm, confidence and a sense of security. If it is not possible to install a cutting surface opposite the front door, then you need to place a small mirror in the kitchen accordingly.
10. If you want to diversify the design of the walls, it is better to give preference to flowers or leaves. The secret behind this choice is simple - these images will also bring positive wood energy into the kitchen. In the kitchen, you can hang pictures with views of nature, endless fields and flaming poppies, still lifes depicting ripe, perfect fruits. Also, images of delicious and beautifully decorated dishes will contribute to the preservation of prosperity and warmth of the hearth.
Materials and tools:
- water-based paint white
-color (green)
-gouache
-sponge
- brushes (synthetics)
-plate
- glass for water
-cloth

Master class progress:

Let's start by painting the furniture. Using a sponge with white water-based paint, we cover the surface of the furniture for painting, and leave to dry.

Then we mix the green color scheme with white water-based paint and apply the second, already light green color to the furniture.

The entire painted surface must dry well before painting.

Next, along the edge of the cabinet, draw a tree trunk with brown gouache, and branches in different directions (cabinet and shelf).

We draw the bark of a tree, apply strokes of black and ocher, blur the strokes with a wet brush.

Next, we will draw foliage on the tree. We need a plate, as a palette, pour water-based white paint into it. On one side of the brush we pick up orange, turn the brush over, and on the other side we pick up white - we get a double-sided set of paint on the brush.

And we draw with large strokes, each stroke is a leaf. If necessary, wash the brush and re-gain colors.

We have white-orange leaves on all branches of the tree (wardrobe, shelf).

Next, draw yellow-white leaves, place them between the orange ones. The set of paint on the brush is double-sided.

In the same way we draw white-green leaves.

This drawing on the shelf and cabinet will serve as a background for the next stage of painting.

I had ordinary white kitchen facades made of laminated chipboard, already old and shabby. I wanted to decorate them, but not with decoupage, but try hand painting.

At the first stage, the facades were removed, washed, the handles were removed from them and sanded with large sandpaper to improve the adhesion of the paint to the base. Probably, experienced furniture makers would advise priming the surface, but having no idea what kind of primer is needed, I did not use it, and immediately after sanding I applied with a ruler and a pencil the places where three-dimensional elements in the form of a frame would be located on my facades.

For the frame, I bought wooden curly slats 2 cm wide at a hardware store and cut the slats into segments of the desired length with a hand jigsaw.

To glue the frame fragments to the facade, I applied liquid nails to the facade at the gluing points, and to join the frame fragments to each other, I applied wood putty to the joints and connected the frame to each other and to the facade. The excess putty was immediately removed from the frame.

After the putty and liquid nails have dried (this will take several hours), you need to finally free the frame from excess putty or, on the contrary, add more putty to the seams at the joints (this is necessary if the seams are wide), process the frame with sandpaper (if necessary). I had one unpleasant roughness on the facade, formed from the handle ... so I puttyed it and sanded it after the putty dried. The facade is now ready for painting.

I decided to make the cabinets a little aged, for this I will use a one-step craquelure composition and paraffin.

To achieve a more “artistic” effect, water-based construction paint will be used in four colors: white, brown, beige and light beige.

The first layer I apply brown paint to the entire surface of the facade. I did it with a brush, I didn’t pay much attention to the accuracy and uniformity of the coating, this is the base background and it will only show through in cracks.

After the first layer had dried, I applied the craquelure composition to the inner and outer areas of the facade relative to the frame. I applied the crackle in spots, but it was possible to apply it to the entire area of ​​​​the facade. Craquelure varnish is not applied to the frame itself, I rubbed it with candles on all protruding edges.

When the craquelure composition is completely dry, you need to brush off excess paraffin from the surface and proceed to painting the surface.

First, I painted the facade surface inside the frame. For this, I decided to use beige and brown paint. You need to work quickly, because acrylic paint dries quickly and when you re-apply paint to the same place, cracks may not work. Therefore, I paint the area near the frame with brown paint with a brush, and sponge the middle part and quickly “mix” both paints at the junction to get a smooth transition. So, working in sections, I paint the entire surface inside the frame.

I carefully paint over the unpainted areas near the frame with a thin brush, leave it to dry completely.

After the paint had dried, I walked with a large sandpaper along the protruding edges of the frame, where the paraffin had been applied. This removes the top white layer and exposes the brown backing, mimicking the shabby chic style. At this stage, the entire facade must be covered with a protective varnish, one layer is enough. I used an Italian matte water-based varnish.

As a drawing, I decided to use an illustration of a lavender branch from an old botanical encyclopedia. I printed the picture on the printer and sketched a branch from it, not in detail, but only slightly outlined the image.

Now you can draw. I do this with artistic acrylic paints and a thin brush. First, greenery on both facades, then flowers. I draw quickly and without going into too much detail, as I will further age the image.

That's what I did

In my opinion, the drawing turned out to be too bright and new, which does not at all correspond to the general vintage style of the facades, so I took coarser sandpaper and went over the entire surface of the drawing to make the drawing more shabby. It worked out for me

It remains to paint the ends of the facades, cover all the beauty with varnish, screw on new handles and hoist the facades in their rightful place. Yes, of course, I also painted and varnished the outer walls of the cabinet

Modern designers have a huge choice, allowing you to translate your ideas and fantasies into reality. One of the most interesting techniques in interior design is wall painting in the kitchen, living room or bedroom, which has been known for a long time. Such beauty cannot be replaced by any expensive wallpaper or exclusive tiles, drapery or the unusual texture of newfangled finishing materials. The painting on the walls will always remain unique, since it is simply impossible to repeat the drawing in all its details. A talented artist will be able to choose an individual image that will fit into the interior and dimensions of the kitchen as much as possible, making it a real work of art. It will certainly become the pride of the owner and emphasize his status.

Types of wall painting

Rock and cave paintings appeared in ancient times. At that time they were applied with soot or red clay, and for people they served as magical talismans. Over time, paints appeared, the technique of execution changed and improved, the images became more elegant and real. The frescoes that have survived in temples to our times are rightfully considered unsurpassed works of art. Today, the painting of the walls in the house more and more often performs a decorative function, without carrying a religious purpose. Three-dimensional images are able to visually expand the room and raise the ceiling to heaven. But a modest do-it-yourself painting can decorate the kitchen no less effectively.

Decorative painting happens:

• monochrome or multicolor;
• glowing;
• voluminous or flat;
• ornamental;
• with the effect of "deception";
• alfreynaya - under stucco molding;
• imitating the paintings of the great masters.

Drawings are made with acrylic, fluorescent or oil paints, applied with brushes, airbrushes, sponges, etc. They paint walls or ceilings directly in place, or the images are brought to life on canvases in the workshop, subsequently mounting the finished canvases on the walls.

Monochrome wall painting in the kitchen is done in a single color scheme that matches the overall interior design. Multi-color images contain various combinations of colors. Luminous drawings are created using fluorescent compounds. During the day, they most likely depict one picture, and at night, with the lights off, a completely different one. Thus, they show, for example, the change of the urban landscape in the light of lanterns.

The picture on the wall can display any fantasies that are limited, perhaps, by the material capabilities of the owner. The cost of a three-dimensional painting, in particular, will be higher than the price of a flat image due to the use of many shades in the drawing, which are necessary to obtain shadows and partial shadows.

Volume and perspective are used when making fake paintings, thanks to which the kitchen can have another window with a beautiful view of the canals of Venice or the Eiffel Tower, or access to a terrace with flowering plants and a path leading to the garden. The wall, in this case, visually dissolves, the floor pattern smoothly transitions to a vertical surface, the main wall decoration is softly combined with the painting, and the kitchen space visually expands due to the image that goes far beyond the horizon. A fake painting can reproduce a voluminous fireplace or a rustic hearth, shelves on the walls with kitchen utensils installed on them, bunches of grapes above the table, a beautiful niche and much more.

Copies of still life paintings by great masters will look harmonious in the kitchen, but alfreyan painting is not suitable for every room. Stucco molding (even not real, but painted) can burden the space, so experts recommend using alfrey images only in spacious kitchens.

Styles and painting

Images on the kitchen walls and ceiling should match the style of the interior. It is very important that they correspond to each other without entering into conflict.

Classical painting is characterized by restraint and harmony. It contains elements of stucco and sculptural images, landscapes and still lifes. Classics fit perfectly into large kitchens, but in order not to turn the room into a museum piece, one should adhere to restraint, not forgetting about good taste.

Baroque suggests a luxurious setting and, again, spaciousness. The painting is distinguished by ornate patterns, volume and scale. The play of light and shadow, bright colors and luxury are welcomed here.

In Art Nouveau images there are elves and mermaids, unevenly curved stems of outlandish plants and floral ornaments. The color scheme involves the use of natural shades. Art Nouveau painting is distinguished by rationalism, which does not affect elegance.

In the kitchen, "cartoon" cooks, and Arabic script, and eclectic drawings, and ornamental patterns may appear. For high-quality wall painting requires considerable experience. With its help, you can create an unusual interior, perform zoning and create an exclusive kitchen interior.
