Professional Cabinet Painting Colors for Top Results

Kitchen cabinets are the main architectural element in the room. That being said, if they are out of date or suffering from cracks and chips, your room can quickly look dilapidated and old. Kitchen updates are always messy and inconvenient but updating cabinets doesn’t necessarily mean putting in new ones. Having custom made cabinets created for your kitchen can be very pricey. Reduce the costs by having professional cabinet painting done instead.

Changes in the paint manufacturing processes have allowed painters to successfully change the color of cabinets. These high touch, high impact areas are especially hard to paint and keep looking good for a long period of time. With proper preparation, the cabinets can look brand new and last. Here are some color ideas to get you started.

Cool White: Sherwin-Williams Snowbound SW 7004

Dark Gray: Sherwin-Williams Web Gray SW 7075
