James Bryant, Founder of CutMy, said: “The kitchen is the heart of the home and if yours is in need of a revamp, you don’t always have to take on a daunting renovation project.

For those who want to tackle a renovation themselves, the experts at CutMy have shared their expertise for a stress-free job:
MEASURE: Measure your existing doors accurately – noting height, width and hinge positions. Simply pop your dimensions into the CutMy website and choose your preferred style.
PRIME: To achieve a durable finish, it’s vital to prime your new cupboard doors. Use a high-quality primer and apply a thin even coat, ensuring a smooth finish. Allow the coat to dry completely before lightly sanding with fine-grit sandpaper, and then repeating the process. This will ensure the paint adheres to the door and will last.
TOP TIP: If you’re going to be painting your cupboard a dark colour, use a grey primer.
PAINT SELECTION: Selecting the right paint is crucial for durability, as well as aesthetics. CutMy recommends gloss, satin or eggshell finishes. These paints are not only durable, but they are easy to clean and resist moisture well.
APPLICATION: When it comes to painting kitchen cupboards, technique matters. Use a high-quality brush for edges and detailed areas, and a foam roller for larger, flat surfaces. Once you begin painting, apply the paint in thin, even coats to avoid drips and achieve a smooth finish. Usually, a second coat is needed for full coverage. Wait for each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
REASSEMBLY: After your doors are painted and fully dry, it’s time to reattach them. Ensure the doors are aligned and secure all screws tightly.
HARDWARE: To complete your new look, carefully select some new handles and knobs. Choose hardware that complements your new colour scheme and style.
