SPICE UP YOUR KITCHEN FOR SPRING


Dear Colour Fan Club members,

Spring is a time of renewal, and with studies showing that kitchen upgrades increase a home’s resale value, why not start by rejuvenating the most frequented room in the house? By applying the right choice of paint and a little creativity, a kitchen can undergo a tasteful makeover at little cost.

Sico launches two cutting-edge, eco-friendly products designed to transform kitchens with the stroke of a paint brush. Called Sico GoPrime All-in-One and Sico Furniture and Cabinets Paint, the first-of-their-kind, heavy-duty alkyd emulsion products enable homeowners to give their kitchens a high-quality, long-lasting lift without the expense of having to change cabinets, counter tops or backsplash. The paints work well on any surface, from melamine, wood and medium-density fiberboard (MDF) to thermoplastic, ceramic tile and glass.

A breakthrough technological innovation, the two products – made from an original formula that blends alkyd emulsion in a water-based paint – are low-VOC (volatile organic compound) water-based paints, yet perform like alkyds, or oil-based paints.


Tip to spice up your décor: When it comes to colour, the kitchen is an ideal area to try bolder tones since it has minimal wall space and a splash of colour serves to liven up, rather than overpower, the room. While neutral tones are generally preferred for cabinets, a brighter wall or backsplash colour can give a kitchen a dynamic look. Good colour choices for kitchens include shades of sunny yellow, vibrant green, blue or turquoise, such as Sico’s Satin (6112-31) yellow, Apple Sorbet (6123-53*) green, Porcelain Plate (6010-63) blue, and Movie Star (6148-31) turquoise.
