Kitchen trolley makeover

A fresh look for your home in pastel colours

Give your living space an exciting, new feel in no time at all with a fresh lick of paint. You don’t even need to redecorate an entire wall to bring about a refreshing revamp: a whole new ambience can be conjured up simply by restyling small items of furniture. Delicate pastels are currently enjoying a boom in popularity, both in the worlds of fashion and home décor, so to jazz up a plain kitchen trolley we chose edding permanent spray in delightful pastel shades. Colours such as pastel yellow, pastel rose and delicate peach exude lightness and well-being, and go together beautifully. The edding permanent spray range gives you a choice of over 35 colours, all of which are exceptionally opaque, quick-drying and long-lasting.

Step-by-step

Step 1

First of all, dismantle the trolley. Lay out all the materials that you need. You can see an overview of everything in our photo. The colours we used are pastel yellow (colour code 915), powdery peach (930), pastel rose (914) and mild mint (928).

Step 2

Cover your working area carefully with the protective sheet. You should also mask the wheels of the trolley with tape as these won’t be sprayed.

Step 3

Start by shaking the spray can for 3 minutes, then remove the sprayhead and prise off the safety ring with the aid of the screwdriver. The Spray basics section on our website gives you essential tips for perfect spraying.

Step 4

Next, spray the frame in mild mint. For best results, we recommend you hold the can at a distance of approx. 25 cm and spray evenly with a spiral motion. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly.

Step 5

Now continue with the trays. Spray them one by one in pastel yellow, powdery peach and pastel rose. When covering larger areas, we recommend using horizontal and vertical strokes so you don’t get too much paint in one spot.
