What are the steps to wrapping a kitchen?

Wrapping a kitchen with interior wrap foil can be a great way to update the look of your kitchen without doing a full renovation. Here are the general steps you can follow:

Supplies:

• Interior wrap foil
• Cleaning agents (such as a mild detergent and water)
• measuring tape
• Scissors or cutting tools
• Soft cloth
• Hair dryer (optional, but useful to heat the foil for better adhesion)

Steps:

1. Preparation:
   
   Thoroughly clean the surfaces of the kitchen where you want to apply the foil. Remove any grease, dust or dirt. Make sure the surfaces are completely dry before you start.

2. Measuring and cutting:
   
   Carefully measure the areas you want to cover with the film. Cut pieces of film slightly larger than the areas to be covered. This will provide enough film to work and trim.

3. Applying the foil:
   
   Start with one section at a time. Remove a small portion of the protective backing from the foil and gently apply it to the kitchen surface. Work from top to bottom, using a soft cloth to smooth out any air bubbles as you apply the foil.

4. Prevent air bubbles:
   
   Try to avoid bubbles by applying the foil gradually and smoothing it out as you go. If you do see bubbles, you can use a needle or pin to carefully poke small holes and let the air escape.

5. Trimming and finishing:
   
   Use scissors or a cutting tool to carefully trim away any excess foil around the edges and corners of the kitchen surfaces. Make sure to cut accurately for a neat finish.

6. Heating and smoothing:
   
   If you notice that the foil is not completely smooth on the surface, you can use a hair dryer to gently heat the foil. This makes the foil more flexible and easier to smooth out to get a better bond.

7. Check the finish:
   
   Go over the entire surface carefully to check for any loose edges, bubbles or unevenness. If you notice any, gently re-press the film or heat the areas and smooth them out.

It is important to be patient and precise when applying the film. It may be helpful to consult instructional videos or manuals specific to the type of interior wrap film you have purchased, as different manufacturers may have different recommendations for application.

It is best to first order a color chart to be able to assess the foil.
