The system is economical with one liter of laminate paint costing around $30 and the primer running around $30 as well. The cleaner costs around $10 so overall you can have brand new countertop for peanuts.
Since your countertop facelift is going to be simple and cost effective why not consider completing the rest of your room’s facelift with the money you saved. There are three factors that have the biggest impact in a kitchen or bathroom. Your counters, flooring, and lighting.
Remember to be creative. Flooring doesn’t necessarily mean you have to replace your flooring. You might consider using area rugs to give your floor a new look. And of course if your budget will tolerate it go for a brand new floor.
Your lighting should be a combination of task lighting and ambiance lighting. Track lighting can work well in a kitchen and it can really give your kitchen that finishing look. And it can provide task lighting and ambiance.
When choosing your counter color consider the overall colors in your room. Also consider the mood you want to set. Do you want your counters to be complimentary or do you want them to create contrast? Have you considered using more than one color to create your mood?
Your kitchen and bathroom deserve a facelift and your budget restrictions shouldn’t stop you. With White’s laminate counter paint you will have your room’s looking fabulous in now time! The question is are you ready to get started?
