6 Top Colours for Painting Kitchen Cabinets

Whether you're renovating your entire kitchen or just choosing a new paint color, choosing the right shade for your kitchen cabinets can be nerve-wracking. You are the one who lives in your house and you need to check your wardrobe every day.

There is a reason why cabinets should be your first consideration when you want to change the look of your kitchen. Depending on the materials and hardware you use, kitchen cabinets typically take up half of your kitchen renovation budget and about 40% of your kitchen's visible space.

Colors That Work for Your Kitchen

A kitchen of your dreams is the most inspiring thing that can happen to you. Whatever your culinary skills, creating the ideal work and storage space, or the most efficient small kitchen, is almost like perfecting your favorite dishes. Ensure that all design elements are cohesive and aligned.

A kitchen cabinet's colour affects the mood of the room as well as how the rest of the kitchen is designed. If you look at the variety of colour combinations available, it is easy to become overwhelmed. The cabinets in your kitchen are the focal point of the room. In the kitchen, cabinets act as if they were walls, setting the mood for the whole room.

Choosing the right colour for the walls is important; however, most of the wall space is taken up by kitchen cabinets. It is best to choose the cabinets' colour first, followed by the walls and any other features.

Here Are Some Of The Current Most Popular Colours For Cabinets:

1. White

The timeless appeal of white cabinets cannot be denied. For this reason, they can be found in many kitchens. The design is always stylish and they can be used with nearly everything in the kitchen. White cabinets complement traditional designs, simplicity and modernity perfectly. White cabinets require more maintenance due to their whiteness and susceptibility to dirt and stains.

2. Blue

You can feel relaxed as well as add some color to your life with blue. According to color psychology, blue provides a sense of calm and serenity when used sparingly.

If you're considering painting your cabinets, be sure you like the color blue. Especially if your kitchen and living areas are open concept, the shade of blue should blend well with the rest of the room.

 

3. Gray

Gray kitchen cabinets come in a variety of colors that can be warm or cool, so you can choose a wide array of backsplash designs, countertop materials, and appliance finishes. You can use gray in almost any kitchen design or cabinet style, regardless of whether it is rustic or modern.

Dark brown cabinets can make your kitchen appear smaller and darker if it has little natural light. Colours with dark saturation absorb light, whereas lighter shades reflect it back, making the space appear brighter. Cabinets in light brown tones are ideal for smaller spaces, and dark brown tones are best for larger spaces.

4. Green

The green colour of the paint works well with white oak, whether the flooring or open shelves are painted in that colour. It adds a natural warmth to the room. It is possible to change the mood of a room based on hardware and lighting by using a variety of shades of green.

5. Bold Colors

You can make a style statement like no other with a little pop of colour on your kitchen cabinets. Making your kitchen unique and reflecting your personality can be achieved with a bold color. 

6. Two-Toned Cabinets

Choosing cabinets with two-tones lets you have the best of both worlds. Kitchen cabinets with two-toned tops are typically white, while the base cabinets are dark. Greys and blues are among the most popular lower shades, as are pale yellows, mint greens, and deep purples.

If your upper cabinet is white, you can use a bolder color on your base cabinet without affecting the overall look. Keep in mind that dark colors near the ceiling can make the ceiling appear lower than it really is.

Maintaining the Color of Kitchen Cabinets

 

Take good care of your kitchen cabinets by removing spills and water stains as soon as possible with a soft cloth. The sooner these stains are removed, the less likely they are to stain or damage the furniture.

Food scraps can also be extremely difficult to remove if not cleaned up quickly. You may need to use strong abrasives and harsh cleaners to remove dried splatters, which can damage cabinet surfaces. Do not place tea towels or dishcloths on cabinets. The surfaces of these items can be damaged by oils or cleaning chemicals.

Choosing a Color Scheme for Your Kitchen

There is more to choosing a color scheme than simply looking at the dozens of paint chips at your local hardware store. Make sure that the color of the cabinets ties together the other elements of the kitchen, from the lighting to the backsplash to the flooring and hardware.

 

Choosing the right kitchen colors requires taking a step back and considering everything from accent walls, cabinets, and appliances.

Cabinet Style and Hardware

When choosing a sequence of kitchen design elements, cabinet hardware comes last. Once the final decision on paint color and countertop is made, hardware is selected to match everything.

Hardware should be unique but not too flashy to fit into the overall concept of the kitchen. Pair black hardware with modern lighting for an edgy look, or if you're looking for a classic feel, opt for brass trash can handles and knobs.
