Maybe you picked out your current cabinets and fell in love with how they looked, felt against your fingers, and operated. While you might still love your cabinets, it is only natural to want something new after so many years of the same home décor styles. Of course, not everyone has the luxury of loving their cabinets—perhaps you inherited a previous homeowner’s design style and don’t have the time or budget to gut out and replace old cabinets. That is where our ideas for painting kitchen cabinets comes in to play.
Whether you want a kitchen cabinet paint job that offers bold looks, neutral synergy, or something in between, we have compiled our top ideas for painting kitchen cabinets to help get you started on your project. Plus, with a wide variety of paint brand options that will look stunning in your kitchen, our expert team at Rainbow Paint & Decorating is excited to connect with you!
Keep it Familiar
If you want a new paint job that feels striking yet cohesive, then we suggest choosing paint colors that blend in well with a room’s current color scheme. In fact, creating a monochromatic palette with hues from the same color family creates an elegant, timeless style that instantly elevates a space.
For example, if you have a pale gray on your walls, adding our Farrow & Ball Pitch Black No. 265 in Modern Eggshell will create depth and drama without creating a clashing finished product. If you have a blue kitchen, painting cabinets in the lighter Farrow & Ball De Nimes No. 299 in Modern Emulsion will create a sense of structure that elevates without overwhelming the eye.
Go Bold
Ready to make a big change? Fantastic! One of our favorite tips for painting kitchen cabinets is to embrace your creativity. If you want your cabinets to make a statement and immediately catch the eye, then we welcome you to go bold with a pop of color.
If you have a white kitchen, Wine Red No. 1002 from Fine Paints of Europe adds a brilliant pop of color and, in turn, personality. For kitchens with beige or neutral tones, Summer Sky No. 4026 is a stunning blue from Fine Paints of Europe that soothes while standing out from the crowed.
Embrace the Unexpected
Often times, we pair colors based on similarities. Monochromatic color families, as discussed above, almost always create a cohesive, put-together look. However, this doesn’t mean you should ignore two unlikely colors that pair well together. This creates a new level of interest in a space and sets your kitchen apart from the others in your neighborhood—perfect for those looking to make a unique upgrade!
If you have blush-toned walls, painting your cabinets a striking Paean Black No.294 in Modern Eggshell from Farrow & Ball creates that perfect balance of beautiful and striking. Combining a kitchen with blue walls or accents with the luscious Bombay No. 524 from C2 Paints creates excitement and intrigue.
