Painting Walls & Ceilings in Kitchens\"modern<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Once you have a wall color selected, you will need to decide on a type of paint and a sheen for the kitchen painting project.<\/strong> Modern latex paints offer durability and low\/no VOC (air pollutants) options. Most painters opt for latex for these reasons. Kitchen walls also need some attention to what sheen to select. Sheen refers to the finish of the paint and has a variety of options including:<\/p>\n

High Gloss<\/strong> – very durable, easy to clean, stain resistant. The gloss of the finish will show flaws in the walls easier. Best used for woodwork and trim, backsplashes, and cabinets.<\/p>\n

Semi-gloss –<\/strong> Less durable than high-gloss, but stronger than other options. Good for use on doors, trim, cabinets, and woodwork.<\/p>\n

Satin<\/strong> – A very popular choice for interior walls in our service area (Western New York). Satin offers a softer appearance that is not as glossy as the above 2 options. The finish is less resistant to moisture so it is not the best choice for areas that may get wet (behind a sink). For areas away from the sink, satin is a good choice for the interior walls on a kitchen project.<\/p>\n

Eggshell<\/strong> – Very similar to satin, most customers can not tell the difference between eggshell and satin in a side-by-side comparison. It offers similar features as satin.<\/p>\n

Flat<\/strong> – Flat paint is generally not recommended unless your kitchen walls have many flaws. Flat paint does the best job of masking imperfections in the wall but has the least durability of all the options. Flat paint can scuff easily.<\/p>\n

Kitchen cabinet painting and restoration<\/a> projects are a great way to give new life to the kitchen.<\/strong> Replacing cabinets can be very expensive, often times the construction and wood work are good on dated looking cabinets. In cases where the cabinets are of quality construction, replacement may not make sense. Cabinets see a lot of use, they are high-touch, high-impact areas of the kitchen that is best handled by a professional team. Of the sheens mentioned above, it is generally recommended cabinets get either high gloss or semi-gloss finishes to give them added durability to dents and dings.<\/p>\n

White Kitchen Cabinets\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
