A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for your home interior. If you’re looking to update your kitchen, painting your cabinets may breathe new life into the space without the need for more drastic changes. But how do you know what color of cabinet paint is best for your kitchen? Here are a few of our top tips for choosing a new cabinet color.
- Consider surrounding design features. You want to make sure your cabinet paint color doesn’t clash with the surrounding design features. Be mindful of how different cabinet colors would look with your backsplash (if you have one), kitchen furniture, or any nearby furnishings that could affect how your kitchen is perceived.
- Pay attention to lighting. Different colors can contribute to how big your kitchen feels depending on how much natural lighting is available. If your kitchen is small or doesn’t receive a lot of natural light, lighter cabinet colors can make the space feel larger. In bigger or better-lit kitchens, darker cabinets can make a space feel warm or dramatic.
- Use color samples. Having trouble narrowing down your cabinet paint options? Color samples can help, especially when placed next to the other design elements in your kitchen. With samples, you can see how lighting will affect how the color is perceived. You can also decide if these color samples are something you wouldn’t mind seeing regularly.
