Modernize Your Kitchen with a New Cabinet Color

There is no shortage of ways to modernize your kitchen -- you might renovate the floors, invest in new hardware and countertops, and/or replace your cabinets entirely. Unfortunately, most of these projects are quite costly, time-consuming, and obstructive. And in some cases, not all of these efforts are necessary. One of the most cost-effective and significant ways to modernize your kitchen is simply hiring residential painting contractors to refresh your cabinets with a fresh coat of paint and color.

How to Modernize Your Kitchen

Choosing the Right Color for Your Cabinets

For most people, choosing a cabinet color is the most daunting aspect of this project. Ultimately, your decision is a matter of personal preference, but if you need help getting started, there are a few factors to consider, such as:

• Which cabinet colors are currently popular or sought after broadly and in your region? (Local interior painters can help with this)
• If you’re not repainting your kitchen walls or investing in new hardware or countertops, which cabinet colors will best complement the rest of your kitchen?
• How will certain colors play off your current kitchen lighting?
• Is a new color necessary, or do you simply want to refresh your cabinets that have faded over time using the same color as before?

Asking yourself these questions can help you get a sense of what matters to you regarding a cabinet update. Your interior painting services may also be able to give you some advice and help you decide on the best color for your cabinets. Generally speaking, white, off-white, beige, and grey tend to be the most popular and modern-looking options. Additionally, blue has become highly in demand for kitchens in recent years, so this is another color worth considering. Of course, there are many variations within each of these basic color choices, so the more you research and test for yourself, the better.

More Than Just Modernizing

While introducing a fresh coat and color to your kitchen can transform its appearance, the advantages of painting your old cabinets go beyond mere aesthetics. Your residential interior painting contractor can tell you that the best paint products act as protective shields that guard against moisture, heat, impact, pests, and other threats. Unless your current cabinets are beyond repair (or if repairs would cost more than replacing them), revitalizing their paint job can add years to their lifespan while, making them look good as new. So, while landing on the right color is important, the act of repainting your cabinets is important in and of itself.

Engaging Color, Enduring Cabinets

Every kitchen should receive the attention and care it deserves -- not only because it’s an important and regularly-used space, but also because maintaining your kitchen helps you maintain your home’s overall value. Whether you’re looking to modernize your kitchen, utterly transform it, or simply keep your kitchen in good shape, cabinet painting and refinishing is an effective way to do so. Make sure you work with a reliable and thorough interior painting service, like the pros at Endure Painting.
