Your kitchen is one of the most popular rooms in your home, so naturally, it’s one of the first rooms homeowners choose to remodel.
But remodeling isn’t always in everyone’s budget. Fortunately, there are some minor remodels you can do if you’ve grown tired of your kitchen’s look. The main one that has a major impact is repainting your kitchen cabinets.
While replacing cabinets is a pain and a financial strain, giving your cabinets a fresh coat of paint can instantly change the entire vibe of your kitchen.
Let’s talk about popular colors to paint your kitchen cabinets to totally revamp your kitchen.
White, Gray, and Black Give Your Kitchen Cabinets a Sleek, Modern Look
It may seem a little dull just talking about it, but white kitchen cabinets will instantly brighten up your kitchen and give it a crisp, clean look all the time. If your cabinets are a bit outdated, the all-white paint will instantly modernize their look and look elegant against stainless steel or black appliances.
Gray cabinets have the same modern look and will help make a smaller kitchen feel more spacious and can hide a bit more dirt and food stains than white cabinets. If true white is too bright for you and gray too dark, shades like off-white, beige, and eggshell can provide you with the same cozy feeling.
If you have a flair for drama, black cabinets will reflect that. If you have light colored flooring and countertops and stainless steel or white appliances, black cabinets are an excellent option for your kitchen. Black is the perfect color for larger, more open kitchens, and you don’t have to worry about dirt showing.
The best thing about using neutral colors like white, gray, or black for your kitchen cabinets is that you can go bolder with accentuating pieces around your kitchen, like bar stools or centerpieces.
Be Bold With Bright Kitchen Cabinet Colors
Your kitchen is your own, so let it reflect your personality. Do something unique, like choosing a bright blue, red, or green for your kitchen cabinets.
If you think the top and bottom cabinets all painted bold red will be too much, pair white cabinets on top with red on the bottom, or paint only your kitchen island or hutch a bold color that will blend with the rest of your kitchen.
If you’re struggling with choosing the right color, look at what you already have in your kitchen. What paint color would match your countertops, backsplash, kitchen table, serving plates, and more?
Just like white and other neutral colors allow you to decorate your kitchen however you see fit, a bold color is often its own decoration. So if your kitchen table and chair are already pretty neutral, let your cabinets provide the color.
Using a bold color makes your kitchen stand out and sets the tone for your entire house. Just make sure you choose a color you can live with, so you’re not constantly repainting.
Revamp More Than Kitchen Cabinets
Your kitchen cabinet colors go along a way into dictating the look and feel of your kitchen, but they’re not the only things. When you repaint your kitchen cabinets, you should also consider remodeling them.
This doesn’t mean you have to get all new cabinets. Changing out your cabinet handles will go a long way to updating the look of your kitchen.
If you want a modern kitchen, choose sleek, minimalistic handles to accentuate your paint color. Silver pairs well with white, while gold, bronze, and copper pair well with gray and black.
If you choose a bold paint color, go with knobs and handles that are just as bold. Use geometric shaped knobs, decorative and novelty knobs, or brightly colored ones that will express your creative style.
Another update you can make after repainting your kitchen cabinets is switching the direction of various cabinets to make them accessible and changing the flow of your kitchen. And if you’re interested in the more open kitchen feeling, take your cabinet doors off all together and let the inside of your cabinets shine.
