Dd and SiL painted some really horrible old dark brown melamine cupboards in the kitchen of their β€˜new’ house. They used pale cream special cupboard paint and the transformation was amazing.

The kitchen was eventually going, since they had an extension a couple of years later, but it lasted well until then. I guess the key is good prep - I did similar with cupboard paint on some horrible melamine wardrobes - 10 years on and still fine, but of course bedrooms are going to have less hard wear than kitchens.
