Do you want to transform your kitchen, but you don’t know where to start - paint your kitchen cabinets!

 

Your kitchen is the heart of your home and your cabinets determine the entire decor of your kitchen. Whether you love a modern or a more traditional style, by painting your cabinets, you can completely transform your kitchen. So, if you are tired of your boring, old cabinets and want to give new life to your kitchen, then paint them!

How; I hear you say.

Well, I'm here to tell you how!

• The first step is to find the right color for your kitchen cabinets.

Today, I will talk about how we can choose the right color. There are many paint colors and different techniques available on the market which allows you to create the kitchen of your dreams.

• When choosing the right color, it helps to consider the style of your cupboards.

If you have a traditional kitchen, classic colors like cream, beige and white, go perfectly and look great.

If you have a modern kitchen, your palette can grow significantly, as bright and vibrant colors like red, green, or yellow look great in a modern kitchen.

• Next you will need to think about how much natural light your kitchen has.

If your kitchen does not have a lot of natural light, you may want to paint with lighter shades and warm tones for your kitchen cabinets. Light, warm shades give the illusion of adding light.

If you have large windows in your kitchen that allow plenty of natural light in, you have much more flexibility to add darker shades to your palette.

• Use one color:

Painting your kitchen cabinets with a single color is elegant and timeless. The contrast created when black, dark brown, or dark gray cabinets are combined with light walls and kitchen floors is wonderful.

• Use two colors:

Two different colors are striking. Choose a bright color and combine it with a neutral color. You could paint the lower cabinet doors in the bright color and the upper cabinet doors in the neutral color. Or you could just paint your kitchen island a different color from the rest of the kitchen.

 • Use different shades of one color:

If neutral colors are too boring for you, but bright colors are too much, why not choose two different shades of one color. Use dark shades of gray or brown on your upper cabinets, while lighter shades of the same color are used on the lower cabinets (or vice versa). This technique keeps things neutral, but adds an extra element of visual interest.

In my next article, I will talk about what you should do before painting your kitchen and the mistakes you need to avoid.
