Popular Kitchen Cabinet Colors for Your Orland Park Home

Okay, see if this sounds familiar. 


You’ve done your homework and know you want to paint your kitchen cabinets . After all, they’re in decent shape, good quality, and the layout works for you. They’re just definitely in need of some TLC, and you want to give them a more modern look. 


Now for the big question: what color should you choose for your cabinets? 


Let’s run through a few tips and considerations together, and then we’ll show you a cabinet painting project in Frankfort that we just finished. 


Pick the Right White for Your Cabinetry


White is a go-to option, and has been for decades. Kind of like subway tile, white cabinets just never go out of style, and they offer a crisp, fresh look that’s perfect for today’s kitchen. 


Just remember: under the “white paint” category live a WHOLE lot of options. We’re seeing homeowners choose warmer shades in a lot of cases, often with a bit of beige or greige. 


Add An Accent Color To Your Kitchen


White cabinets pair beautifully with an accent color. It could be a wall, or it could be your kitchen island. No island? How about a darker color for your lower cabinets, with white uppers? Super stylish with the added benefit of creating the feeling of height and space. 


Think Through Your Preferences and Goals


Bigger than just a style you like, think through whether you want to create a modern or classic feel? Create light and space, or warmer and cozy? Do you have a lot of natural light or a little? All of these considerations will help you narrow your choices, and will also help your cabinet painter present the best ideas and options possible. 


Work with a Professional Cabinet Painter


You need this project to come out right and to look AMAZING. A professional cabinet painter can help you with the color considerations, but will also make sure that the right steps, prep, and products are used for the best finish quality possible. Don’t risk it!

Your kitchen cabinets take up a huge amount of visual space. And you know what that means? It means a fresh coat of paint can do more than just make them look brand new. It can transform your kitchen’s style and save you thousands compared to a full remodel. But here’s the catch: painted cabinets can be stunning…or they can be a DIY disaster. Before you grab a paintbrush and start slapping on color, there are a few golden rules you’ll want to follow. Here’s our list of do’s and don’ts to keep your cabinets looking polished instead of patchy. The Cabinet Painting Do’s Do Clean Thoroughly: Grease, dust, and kitchen grime are sneaky. If you don’t clean your cabinets properly before painting, all that gunk will show through the new paint, or worse, prevent it from sticking. A little elbow grease goes a long way. Do Remove the Doors and Hardware: It’s tempting to cut corners, but trust us: painting around hinges and handles never looks neat. Take the doors off, label them, and store hardware in a baggie so you don’t end up with the world’s hardest jigsaw puzzle later. Do Sand (Yes, Really): Sanding is the unglamorous step nobody wants to do, but it’s the secret to a smooth, professional finish. Even if your cabinets don’t look glossy, a light sanding helps paint adhere and prevents chipping. Do Use the Right Paint: Cabinets need durable paint that can handle daily wear. Satin, semi-gloss, or specialty cabinet paints are designed for the job. Flat wall paint? Not invited to this party. Do Test a Sample First: Colors can look completely different under your kitchen lighting than they do on a tiny paint chip at the store. Paint a test section before committing to “soft sage” that mysteriously turns into “swamp green” under your pendant lights.
