Color Suggestions from our Kitchen Cabinet Painters

Kitchen cabinets can quickly bring down the whole look of a room. Replacing them can mean big price tags associated with custom cabinetry. Keep in mind, you have options. Rather than replace the cabinets, you can refinish the ones you have. Here are color suggestions from our professional kitchen cabinet painters.

Since cabinets are a design element in your kitchen, the cabinets might be keeping your room stuck in the past. Adding a new color can bring them to a more contemporary look. Change them with paint rather than replacing them. With the addition of new hardware, your room will feel brand new.

Choosing a color for the cabinets is tricky, not not impossible. To avoid further work, keep in mind the static colors that will remain in the kitchen after the cabinets are changed. If you intend to keep your counters, backsplash or appliances, work the colors into your scheme before narrowing down your cabinet paint.

Neutral colors

Colorful items on and around your cabinets can bring in enough vibrance to the room. In this instance, it’s best to pick a neutral pallet to paint your kitchen cabinets. Your vivid style will take center stage with this approach. White cabinets brighten the room and give you a blank palette to work off of. If you’re particularly messy in the kitchen, consider beige or grey to help hid rogue splatters and spills.

Vibrant colors

Adding a new color to the kitchen cabinets can be a statement for the room. If you are working with neutrals in the backsplash, walls and appliances, take this opportunity to go a bit wild. Add some sun with yellow! Deep butter or barely there yellow brings happiness to the room. Looking to relax? Try blue. Mint or teal also have been used really successfully used for cabinets.

Dark colors

Many kitchens start in the white and barely there color palettes. Add some drama with a dark color. Jewel tones like sapphire and emerald are en vogue, much like the classic black. Deep and dark colors can make the room feel as though it’s closing in. Opt to pair this with white walls and appliances. Use lighter or brighter colors for accents.

Be creative

You’re creative when you cook. Let that carry over to the colors you choose. While kitchens typically follow a monotone color scheme, don’t feel obligated to choose one color for everything. For example, experiment with ombre cabinets. By using a lighter version of the color on top and darker on the bottom cabinets. This will trick your eyes into a vaulted feeling in the room.
