Cabinet Color Scheme Project in Winnetka, IL

Project Overview

The focal point of this project was to convert the traditional brown-stained cabinets in a local residence to a more contemporary dark gray paint. This color shift was not only aimed at modernizing the look but also at creating a harmonious relationship with the kitchen’s existing features, particularly the black tabletop of the island. Our goal was to produce a visually appealing and uniform color scheme that enhances the overall atmosphere of the kitchen.

The Challenge

One of the primary challenges in this project was ensuring that the new gray paint on the cabinets would complement the black tabletop without overwhelming the space. The original brown stain had a classic appeal, but it clashed with the modern and sleek black surfaces in the kitchen. The homeowners desired a more integrated look to impress guests and add a refined touch to their kitchen space.

The Process

The transformation process began with a thorough assessment of the existing cabinets, considering their layout, condition, and the best approach to applying the new color. Our team of skilled professionals prepared the surfaces by meticulously cleaning and sanding the cabinets to ensure the new paint would adhere properly and look flawless.

Using high-quality paints and primers, we applied several coats to achieve a deep, even gray that provided the desired contemporary finish. Special attention was given to the choice of finish, opting for a semi-gloss to complement the sheen of the black tabletop and enhance durability against everyday kitchen activities.

Achieving Color Harmony

Choosing the right shade of gray was critical. It needed to be dark enough to resonate well with the black tabletop yet light enough to maintain the kitchen’s airy and open feel. The chosen gray provided a subtle contrast with the black, enriching the kitchen’s color palette without dominating it. This careful selection process showcases our commitment to not only meeting but exceeding our clients’ expectations in every aspect of our work.

Final Touches and Quality Assurance

Once the painting was complete, our team conducted a detailed final inspection to ensure every inch of the cabinets met our high standards. The edges were crisp, the surfaces smooth, and the color perfectly uniform, ensuring that the finished project looked impeccable from every angle.

The clients were thrilled with the outcome, appreciating how the new cabinet colors brought a modern vibe to their kitchen and how the project was managed efficiently from start to finish. Their feedback emphasized the significant difference the new color made in refreshing the space and creating a welcoming environment for entertaining guests.
