Painting Kitchen Cabinets

Painting kitchen cabinets can be an excellent decision, however it must be done properly. Have you painted kitchen cabinets before and wondered if you made the right decision on the color?

But you can use some general personal guidelines to help you make a quicker decision. Here at Cabinets by Graber, we’re here to help make that proper decision once we’ve built high-quality and custom-designed kitchen cabinets for you.

Colors Should Reflect Style and Mood

The first question you might want to ask yourself is what kind of feeling are you trying to convey through the color of your cabinets? While you always have to pick a color that matches the other colors of your kitchen, it’s best to utilize warmer colors for this type of environment. That’s because you want to create a cozy atmosphere in a kitchen where guests hang out during dinner parties.

Overall, overly bright and wild tones on your cabinets might create a sense of chaos in your kitchen that can give the wrong idea about what your ideas and tastes are.

Using Colors That Represent Food

We’ll be glad to paint your cabinets any color you choose, even if it takes more time to find a color representing something far more complex than making people starved for your food.

Colors That Represent an Ethnicity or Personality Trait

Another option is painting cabinets in more vivid colors to make them stand out against a more conservative kitchen wall color. If you have a more boisterous personality, this might fit in, though may not with a more conservative crowd. As well, you might want to convey more than just a personality trait or quirk. Sometimes you might want to convey a color that represents where you came from if you once lived in another country.
