Certainly painting the walls can bring new life to the space but painting your cabinets will be the most impressive change you can make without the expense of a full remodel.
While the trend in wood tones is moving to a safe mid-range, when it comes to paint we are seeing everything from rich jewel tones to fresh pales. White kitchens are classic but if you’re customizing with paint, then your cabinets are a blank canvas, so dare to be adventurous with the hottest colour trends!
Make sure to properly paint your cabinets
There are many companies that will spray kitchen cabinet doors, but this is a more expensive option. If you want to take on the project yourself, here are some tips:
-
After cleaning, sand the cabinets with 100 grit sand-paper to cut the sheen of any previous products and then wipe clean with a tack cloth.
-
Prime with Benjamin Moore’s Fresh Start Primer for better adhesion.
-
Allow to dry, then paint at least 2 coats of finishing paint.
-
Benjamin Moore’s ADVANCE Paint in a high gloss provides a slick, modern look or try the Pearl finish for a soft sheen.
