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!
