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!

Chicagoland’s weather is wild—learn the ideal temperatures and timing for exterior painting so your
April 27, 2025
If you’ve ever lived in the Chicagoland area for more than a week, you already know the drill: it can be 75 and sunny on Monday, and snowing by Friday. So when it comes to exterior painting, the phrase “timing is everything” might be the understatement of the year. Temperature plays a huge role in how paint performs, and doing the job when the weather isn't right can lead to peeling, bubbling, or the dreaded “we just painted this and it already looks weird" problem. So let’s talk about the best temps for exterior painting in Chicagoland , and why it’s not as simple as just checking today’s high. Why Temperature Matters More Than You Think When you paint your house, you’re not just putting color on the wall—you’re starting a chemical process. Paint needs to cure , which is way more demanding than just drying. For curing to go smoothly, temperature and moisture levels need to cooperate. Too cold, and the paint thickens, doesn’t stick well, and may never cure properly. You might see cracking, chalkiness, or even total failure after the first rain. Too hot, and paint dries before it can level out, leading to brush marks, bubbles, and a finish that looks more DIY than you were going for (even if you are DIY-ing it). The Goldilocks Zone: Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold So what’s the sweet spot? Daytime temps between 50°F and 85°F are ideal. Overnight lows should stay above 45°F for at least 48 hours after painting. Humidity below 70% helps paint cure evenly.
