Everything You Need to Know About Cabinet Refinishing

Posted on October 3, 2022

An updated kitchen atmosphere can help your house feel more like a home. After all, the kitchen is one of the most-visited areas of the home! There are a few things to know before you start the process of painting your kitchen cabinets, though. In this article, our local Glendale painting professionals will walk you through everything you should consider before diving in. We’ll also provide you with easy next steps to get started on your kitchen cabinet painting project.

Find the Best Cabinet Colors

The paint color you choose can say a lot about your kitchen. It is important to consider the current style of the room when you pick your color. If you are wanting something modern, shades of clean white, bold navy, and gray can be classic choices. If your style is more colorful and vibrant, various shades of blue and green can look absolutely lovely. Here are just a few of our favorite kitchen cabinet paint color palettes:

Blue and White: The classic colors of blue and white have been utilized separately in the home for quite a while. More and more homeowners are combining these two calming colors to create a two-toned kitchen cabinet setup. Combining these two colors creates so many design opportunities that will ultimately lead to the right, modern feel for your home.
Dark Gray: Gray is trendy when it comes to exteriors, interiors and now cabinets. The most common cabinets are black or white, if you are torn, combine the two. This color works well in modern or traditional kitchens. As a mid-range color, it looks neutral and allows you to pick a statement color in another area of the room.

 

Our Cabinet Painting Tips

Here at CertaPro Painters® we believe each kitchen cabinet painting project should be done by the professionals. There are a lot of moving parts in such a project, and oftentimes a level of experience is required in order to get a job done well. If you do plan to go the DIY route, though, it’ll be best to have a few tips under your belt. Here are a few tips you should know before starting to paint kitchen cabinets:

Clean, clean clean: Kitchens are notorious for grime and grease. It’s important to remove all traces of it before you begin painting, or you’ll end up with less than stellar results. Use a degreaser to make sure the kitchen grease comes off easily. Allow the pieces to dry fully before you move on in your project.
Remove Hardware: The amount of time it will take to tape and carefully paint around hardware and around door edges, you could have removed the doors twice over. Plus, you’ll get a better overall result. Hardware with dabs and drips on it is a telltale sign of a homemade project. To get a truly professional result remove the hardware before the paint cans get opened.
