Art in the kitchen: Where luxury meets deliciousness!

Luxury in the kitchen and bathroom doesn't have to be expensive

Those seeking individual and artistic furniture don't necessarily have to spend vast sums of money on antique or contemporary designer pieces. Especially in the bathroom and kitchen, with a little DIY skill, you can become a self-made furniture builder and conjure up a touch of luxury and, above all, uniqueness in your home.

Open cabinets, as well as kitchen units with many open elements, can easily look cluttered. Here, you can quickly remedy the situation with colorful fabrics and some Velcro. For a more individual touch, you can also decorate your trendy furniture with beaded curtains; natural materials work just as well as beads made of plastic, metal , or colorful glass.

The self-cleaning kitchen unit: Clever DIY tricks for improved hygiene

While kitchen countertops and work areas made of coarse-grained wood may look appealing, they provide an ideal breeding ground for germs and dirt. Instead, equip your trendy kitchen furniture with a perfectly smooth worktop that is quick and easy to clean. For optimal hygiene in the kitchen, you can treat the countertop with a special, dirt-repellent paint.

When choosing the right paint, make sure it's suitable for indoor use in the kitchen. Especially if the coated surface comes into contact with food or cutlery, very specific safety regulations apply regarding potentially toxic components of the paint. For refinishing bathroom furniture, it's essential that the paint can withstand continuous moisture.

Especially in bathrooms without windows, the air is particularly humid. Nowadays, there are special ceramic materials on which bacteria and viruses have no chance of adhering for long. These materials are ideally suited for sanitary fixtures such as bathtubs or shower trays, sinks, and toilets.

Incidentally, the toilet flush button is where most germs lurk in the bathroom! It's best to disinfect it with a suitable surface disinfectant. You don't need to wipe it off; it should be left on for at least three minutes to reliably kill bacteria and viruses.

Buy new furniture online and transform it into a unique work of art

With just a little time and effort, a monotonous, off-the-shelf bathroom cabinet can be transformed into a unique piece of furniture that no other apartment will have! Often, a little paint or a colorful border is all it takes.

Those who are skilled in crafts can simply modify the new kitchen or bathroom cabinet according to their own wishes, sawing something out, gluing something on: there are hardly any limits to creativity when building or modifying new, inexpensive furniture.

This is what you need for redesigning furniture

Furniture for the kitchen, bathroom, or living/bedroom area should not only look uniquely beautiful, but its functionality and stability should also be maintained. Be sure to use professional tools when refurbishing your furniture and ensure that everything is securely screwed or glued back together afterward.

Wood will hold its shape permanently with a high-quality wood glue. This can also be used to attach embellishments to your own designer furniture. For glass trim or metal decorations to adhere to your redesigned furniture , silicone may be the best choice. For bathroom furniture, always use water-resistant adhesives so that your custom-made pieces stay put even if they get splashed with water.

Avoid using adhesives and sealing materials around hinges to maintain functionality and ensure you can enjoy your self-assembly furniture for a long time.
