Choose a color that will complement the rest of your kitchen
When painting the cabinets in your kitchen, you should choose a color that will work well with the style and other colors you have chosen.
There are so many options to choose from!
For a modern feel, navy blue works really nicely as a primary color — just add some white accents and metals to brighten up the room.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for something cozy and inviting, consider painting your cabinets in warm tones like yellow or brown.
If you want an already prepared palette, try painting one wall of your kitchen with a bright accent color like green or pink to bring out the best in all the other hues in the space.
Whatever color you end up choosing for your kitchen’s new look, have fun experimenting and make sure it complements the rest of the décor — then enjoy your refreshed space!
Prep the area by removing all hardware and cleaning the surface
It is essential to prep your kitchen cabinets before starting any project. This involves removing all the hardware from the surface and then thoroughly cleaning it.
Doing this first step will help make sure that the kitchen cabinets look their best after you have finished whatever you have planned.
Not only will prep make sure that you get a polished, professional finish, but it can also help with your overall satisfaction later on.
So don’t forget to remove all of those handles and knobs, and give those kitchen cabinets a wipe down before starting!
Apply a primer to help the paint adhere better
After the surface is clean, add a layer of primer to help the paint adhere better. Primer also helps in preventing any discoloration from occurring and can provide an overall smoother finish.
Depending on the type of paint you are using, you may want to use a water- or oil-based primer for best results.
Let this dry for at least 24 hours before moving onto the actual painting process.
Once you have decided on a color and prepped your cabinets, it’s time to start painting! Many people make the mistake of applying too much paint — instead, apply several thin coats for a better finish.
Applying multiple thin layers also helps cover up any imperfections that may have been left behind. Also, try to use a brush with synthetic bristles for oil-based paints and natural bristle brushes for water-based paint.
Follow the instructions on your chosen paint can and remember: practice makes perfect!
