A kitchen like new
Inesaki dreamed of a more modern, bright, and welcoming kitchen. Her original kitchen, decorated in beige tones, was starting to look dated... but she didn't want to change everything.
In less than a day, she created a white and wood kitchen with a soft, natural, and contemporary feel. And all this thanks to two easy-to-apply adhesive kitchen coverings from Luminis Films 👇
The off-white matte wall covering – MAT-2320
This adhesive covering provides an elegant, matte finish, ideal for furniture fronts, doors, or backsplashes. Its added benefits:
- Easy to clean;
- Resistant to moisture and heat;
- Soft, modern texture.
It brightens up the space and gives it a flawless "new kitchen" look.
Brown beech wood veneer - BOIS2-2118
This decorative wood-effect film offers an ultra-realistic and warm finish. Its added bonuses:
- Medium wood finish for a natural touch;
- Good durability over time;
- Fits in with all styles: from Scandinavian to rustic.
The white and wood combo? A timeless classic for a soothing and charming kitchen ✨
Quick and easy installation for a new kitchen
Inesaki had never installed adhesive kitchen wallpaper before. And yet, the result is stunning! Why? Because with a little method and the right tools, anyone can do it 💪
1. Installation materials: your basic kit
To ensure a successful installation, you will need the following equipment:
- A squeegee (to smooth out the film);
- Isopropyl alcohol (for degreasing);
- A sharp utility knife;
- A heat gun (or, failing that, a good hair dryer).
👉 These tools ensure a clean installation, without bubbles or creases!
2. Surface preparation: a crucial step
First and foremost, ensure that the surface is smooth, clean, and dry:
- Sand if necessary to smooth out any irregularities;
- Apply a primer to porous surfaces;
- Degrease with isopropyl alcohol;
- Wash away marks and dirt withsoapy water;
- Dry thoroughly.
Good preparation = long-lasting installation!
3. Application of the adhesive coating
Here's how to apply the film easily:
- Peel back approximately 10 cm of the protective liner;
- Apply the top of the film, checking the alignment;
- Smooth from top to bottom at a 45° angle.
- Continue removing the liner as you apply it;
- Once everything is in place, make one last, firmer pass with the squeegee.
There you go! A revamped kitchen, without any major renovations or budget overruns!
Inesaki has proven that adhesive kitchen wall coverings are an effective, economical, and stylish solution for transforming a kitchen in a single day.
