Unlimited freedom for imagination
Tropical landscapes, representatives of forest fauna and legendary racing cars will be an excellent decoration for such surfaces. Photo printing technology allows you to transfer anything you want onto a monotonous surface of furniture, including your favorite animals, images of your own cars, country houses and favorite dishes.
If you study photos of kitchens with photo printing published on the World Wide Web, it will become clear that, if desired, this decorative method can be used not only on furniture, but also on an apron over a sink or a suspended ceiling. However, with all this, the most impressive effect is produced by photographs applied to the facades.
Interior design using photo printing on facades.
This type of decorative furniture finishing is incomparable in aesthetics to any other. Original images and photographs applied to various surfaces from small parts to wide door panels make the interior unique. The size of the drawings is limited only by the technical characteristics of the equipment. The choice of image type and color palette is almost unlimited, provided the photo resolution is sufficient for printing.
The kitchen is decorated with photo printing mainly in the upper part. The photographic image fits entirely on the facade or partially, folding like a puzzle from fragments applied to different elements of furniture. Photo printed finishing is also possible in the lower tier in the form of small accent drawings that support the main design theme.
Most popular images:
- Food products and their combinations.
- Personal photographs of the family.
- Views of the sky in the stars.
- Natural landscapes and cityscapes.
An important feature of photo printing on facades
It is enough to see kitchens made of MDF with photo printing once to cast aside the last doubts that this modern design technique is capable of bringing into the environment the originality, artistic value, romance and poetry that is sorely lacking.
The limitless technical possibilities of photo printing will allow you to turn your kitchen into something like an art gallery. In such an interior you can not only cook food, but also gain inspiration and take your mind off the endless bustle of the big city.
Technology of applying photo printing to furniture facades.
The direct photo printing technology used in our factory allows us to apply full-color images directly to the MDF facade without using intermediate materials, which distinguishes this production favorably from the manufacture of furniture with polymer film. We apply photographs and drawings, using modern equipment and certified materials, onto smooth surfaces of any size within 2.5 m. At the same time, MDF facades after photo printing practically do not change their weight and do not burden the furniture structure.
Universal applicability of photographic decoration
An important feature of the photo printing method is its 100% compatibility with any interior. Once you use this decor, you will find that it perfectly harmonizes with the decor of any color and style.
Visual expansion of living space
The modern housing realities of many young families make important such a feature of photo printing as the ability to significantly transform cramped apartments.
It is enough to install kitchen panels with photo printing in the form of an endless sea in a small space, and six or ten square meters will acquire endless width, perspective and distance.
Methods of applying photos to kitchen facades
To transfer images to furniture facades, the following are used:
- photo printing ? applying the plot to the surface is carried out either by direct printing on the surface, or by transferring the image onto a self-adhesive film, which is applied to any surface;
- painting ? handmade using traditional brush painting methods; airbrush ? the same painting only using aerosol paints.
Using printing, you can recreate any photo, and in a fairly short time.
Painting and airbrushing? This is the work of artistic masters, which involves applying a drawing or a realistic painting. Most often, painting is ordered on existing cabinet doors made of MDF or laminated chipboard. The price of finished facades with photo printing is often less than the cost of handmade work.
When using any of the technologies, the doors of cabinets and drawers become more durable, since they are additionally coated with varnish in the case of painting with paints or film in the case of photo printing. Such facades get dirty less, are easier to clean and are more resistant to various types of damage.
The need to regularly update the picture
Along with the difficulty of choosing photo printing, it also has the disadvantage of being boring. After just two or three years of contemplating snow-capped Everest, an irresistible desire will appear to replace it with something more familiar and mundane. Thus, even the most beautiful illustration will have to be replaced after a while.
Experiments with height and extent
An important feature of photo printing is the fact that it fits equally well on wide facades in a spacious kitchen and on narrow pencil cases in a small kitchen. By enlarging or reducing the image, it can be placed either along the entire length of a wide set or on the door of just a small cabinet.
To be convinced of the universal applicability of photo printing, just try to use it alternately on furniture facades, bedside tables, a refrigerator, blinds and a window sill.
Options for placing photos on the facades of kitchen furniture
The compositional decision on the placement of the selected image depends on the style of the kitchen interior, its size and color scheme. For example, a small room should not be cluttered not only with furniture, but also with large, bright designs that visually take up free space. Therefore, in such cases, it is preferable to choose subjects with a small pattern or only a detail (a branch, an ornate pattern, a small ornament) to be applied to the upper doors of the set.
For more spacious kitchens, you can see and come up with a lot of photo placement options, here are just a few of them:
- repetition of the same design or pattern on several doors;
- an image stretched over the entire area of the upper or lower facades;
- all furniture doors form a single picture, in which the refrigerator can also participate;
- applying a repeating motif to both cabinet doors and walls.
Decorating the finished interior
In many cases, they decide to use photo printing when the kitchen is already fully furnished in accordance with the design project and suddenly a lack of some zest is discovered in it. In this case, you only need to update the facade surfaces, and the kitchen will immediately change beyond recognition.
