Posted on January 15, 2022

It is no secret that an updated kitchen atmosphere can help your house feel more like a home. The quality and colors of your kitchen cabinets have a tendency to set the mood for your entire household. After all, the kitchen is one of the most-visited areas of any home. The project is even more appealing when the prospect of kitchen cabinet painting seems easy enough; however, many DIY-ers have fallen into the pit of despair mid-project.

So, how do you get a cabinet painting project done that you’ll be happy with for years to come? What are the tips and tricks for kitchen cabinet painting? And can you get the best possible result by doing it yourself? Our professionals have the answer to all of these questions and more. Here are the 3 best tips you can follow to get the best kitchen cabinet paint finish possible.

Do Your Prep Work

The first routine part of every kitchen cabinet painting project is prep work. In order for your kitchen cabinets to have a flawless finish, each cabinet will need to be cleaned and all hardware and doors will need to be removed. This can also guarantee that the entire cabinet will be coated evenly with your chosen paint color. Once the area has been cleaned, it will be time to cover any areas in your kitchen that need to be protected from spills. Any reputable professional will pay special attention to each detail of the painting preparation process to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your service.

Choose the Right Color

The color of your kitchen cabinets will set the mood for your kitchen. You’ll want to be sure that you choose the best color for what you are trying to achieve with your kitchen. To do so, make sure that you do test strokes on your cabinets with potential paint colors. This will help you determine how the undertones pop through the new color and what the end result will look like. We recommend leaving these test strips out for a full 24 hours so you can see how they interact with all times of the day. If you’re unsure where to start, you can consult with a color professional. This is a service that is offered by CertaPro Painters®!
