Are you thinking of updating the look of your kitchen and looking for modern but also extremely practical solutions? Replacing the classic kitchen tiles with a washable paint is probably the right solution for you. More and more often people are choosing to apply a washable paint instead of tiling to protect the walls of their home's kitchen workspace. There are several reasons for this, let's try to break them down in detail.
The minimalist side of it
Choosing one color instead of tiles will give your kitchen a cleaner and more minimalist style. The furniture and accessories will stand out. Definitely, it's a choice that goes with a more modern style of a contemporary kitchen.
An expression of your personal style
Achieving a cleaner, more minimalist result doesn't mean, however, that you have to forgo an expression of your own style. Commercially available colors are available in RAL or NCS colors and therefore allow you to define your kitchen color by choosing from a wide range of shades.
How to apply the washable paint
The application of these paints is very simple: they can be applied with a roller on larger surfaces or with a brush on smaller surfaces. In addition, this type of product has a high covering capacity. The advantages are also seen during cleaning: forget the nightmare of grouting lines, where small residues can get trapped, unseen and make cleaning increasingly tedious over time. Cleaning a wall painted with washable paint is extremely quick and easy, a daily wipe down will be the simple trick to keep it looking its best. To keep the washable paint in the best possible way, it's important to also follow the manufacturer's instructions and not apply very harsh detergents, which may even remove the paint in the long run.
The cost
As well as being a convenient option, choosing to paint a wall also saves you money. In relation to this, the price per square meter is significantly lower. Be careful, however, it is important to choose a good quality product that will protect your kitchen wall as best as possible and ensure that the wall does not discolor or degrade over time. There are excellent products on the market that are non-toxic and highly resistant to water and moisture. Prices for washable paints range from 50 to 60+ euros for a bucket of good quality white paint (around 10lt), while for paints the cost increases slightly.
In any case, you now know the advantages of the washable color, and in a potential kitchen renovation (or your home as a whole), you'll be able to decide whether it suits you or not.
