Hopefully this article helps you to plan your kitchen cabinet painting project. Here is the ‘before’ picture of these Lakewood cabinets… Please note, the customer was having a back splash installed. You can see that the walls were also painted with a “greige” color (a warm gray-taupe combination). The bottom cabinets are painted with Sherwin Williams’ color Cascade Green (SW 0066). Here is an example of a kitchen in Lakewood that we painted the cabinets with an off-white and a green shade. It also probably works best with a slightly creamy off-white instead of a stark white. This color can work in homes with more warm tones such as shades of beige or “greige”. Similar to navy blue, this is a more trendy option that only works in certain homes. One final color option to show is a shade of green. It also works well with the stainless steel appliances. You can see that the rest of the colors in the kitchen are in the gray and white family (cooler colors) so the blue provides a great contrast. Here is a kitchen in Lakewood were you can see what a navy blue looks like on the bottom section of cabinets with white on the top. The blue and white also look really sharp with these dark brown floors. It really provides a great focal point and works really well with the white counters and backsplash. We love the way this kitchen in Avon turned out with this bright blue island. This is definitely not for everyone and is more likely to not be as popular in 5 years or so but right now it is a fairly popular option. This may be best used on only some of the cabinets instead of all of them but can be a fun accent and focal point. If you already have a lot of gray and white in your kitchen, a great option to paint your cabinets could be a dark navy blue. Here is a ‘before’ photo of the kitchen we painted gray… This really tied in well with the black counters. We also painted the thin piece of wood near the top in black to give it an accent piece. Our interior designer helped this home owner select the color “Bone Black CW-715” from Benjamin Moore. A dark gray can be especially sharp on just a portion of the cabinets such as painting the island or just the lower cabinets that color.īelow is a kitchen in Avon Lake that we painted the cabinets in a light gray color.
Light gray and dark gray are both popular for cabinets. As with any color it really depends on the rest of your decorating as well as the floors and counter tops. Gray is the most popular color family for a wall color, but is it the best color for your kitchen cabinets? It is definitely a popular choice but it is probably a little more ‘trendy’ than white and off-white. Here is a before picture of this kitchen: Because the walls are a green shade and the backsplash has a lot of brown tones, this off-white color compliments them well. The color works well (and even looks brighter) in this kitchen because of the other colors. We painted this kitchen in Brecksville with the color Bauhaus Buff (SW 7552) from Sherwin Williams. It may be hard to tell in the picture below, but this is an example of an off-white color. For example, if your counters have a lot of brown or yellow tones then an off-white color can be a great compliment. This is often the case if the rest of the trim in the house is off-white or if the counters or flooring in the kitchen are on the warm side of the color spectrum. In many homes a bright white color on the kitchen cabinets can be too bright. The second most popular cabinet color is an off-white or cream. Below are three examples of kitchen that we recently painted white using White Dove. We love to use White Dove (OC-17) from Benjamin Moore for when painting kitchen cabinets white. White painted cabinets can make a smaller kitchen appear larger just like painting the walls a lighter color can do. One of the reasons white is such a popular color is because it makes all of the other colors in the kitchen pop (such as the walls and counters). White is still the most popular color as it has been for at least five years or so.
One color may look great in someone else’s kitchen but not in yours. Please remember, when choosing any paint color that all of the other colors in the room affect what looks best. Here are some of our favorite examples (all from our own work) along with an explanation to help you decide what is best for your home. We refinish a lot of kitchen cabinets (and bath cabinets, etc) in the Cleveland, OH area and one of the most common questions we get is what color to choose. It was only about 10 years ago that maple and oak stained cabinets were the most popular choice but painting cabinets has quickly become the norm. By now you have probably realized that one of the most popular ways to dramatically change your kitchen (and in many ways your home) for a reasonable price is by painting your kitchen cabinets.
