Help on deciding what color to paint kitchen cabinets
Comments (4)Try posting this on the kitchen forum, along with a photo. It seems to get a lot more traffic. Having said that, some shade of white seems to be the most popular paint color for kitchen cabinets. You have a wood floor, great because wood is the current trend in kitchen floors. With the black appliances, not sure how the white cabinets will work. Maybe upper cabinets white, lowers in a dark gray? Using more than one color in kitchen cabinets is very popular also. I've read a lot of postings about painting honey oak cabinets, seems like we all had them, they were very popular in the 80's and 90's. (I still have my honey oak bathroom cabinets) But, there are a lot of really knowledgeable and helpful people on the kitchen forums, with great decorating talent, so try and post there and I am sure they'll have some good suggestions for you....See Morewhat color paint for kitchen cabinets?
Comments (11)Your cabinets are lovely. I would not change them if they were mine, and I tend to prefer white kitchens. Painting them properly (ie professionally) is costly and will never be as good as a factory finish, and wood cabinets are not the best base for paint if you want to avoid cracking and peeling. Change the counter and backsplash instead to give it a bit of an updated look. Something lighter and more modern. Change hardware to something like stainless steel/brushed nickel bar pulls....See MoreWhat color would you paint kitchen cabinets, hardware and walls?
Comments (6)The first thing to do is get proper lighting. Change bulbs to LEDs in dayligh color which is 3500- 5000K before choosing colors . As for painting the cabinets unless you have done lots of other cabinet painting having them painted by an actual cabinet refinisher will be worth the money as long as you love the kitchen the way it is. Mt advice woulf be to wait 3-6 months and see how it functions before spending money....See MoreWhat color to paint these kitchen cabinets?
Comments (19)OP, just paint the dang things like you originally intended - and then put more thought later into what your more permanent fix will be. When I read your post I understood it to mean you just wanted to get it liveable for now, correct? Removing tile etc. is a huge job - just get settled in your house for now and then come back sometime later with your "forever kitchen" ideas. A deep dark navy (not anything garish) would be an improvement- what is that blue in the room to the left? Changing the door pulls to something more handle-like (instead of knobs) might be nice....See Moreconorandkylesmom
