If your cabinets have a wood veneer essentially a very thin layer of real hardwood over a pressed material you will also need to sand before painting your kitchen cabinets but before you break out the sandpaper or paint carefully inspect the veneer for loose edges chips or cracks.
Unique ways to paint kitchen cabinets.
If you have a lot of cabinets but don t want to paint all of them one color consider painting a lighter color on the top ones and a bolder color on the bottom to help ground the room.
Repair these first with wood glue before sanding the veneered surface.
If your kitchen is in need of an aesthetic revival applying a few coats of color to dull or dated cabinets can make your space feel fresh and modern without the commitment of a full on renovation.
For a similar look choose a backsplash that corresponds with the kitchen island use tile on the floors and make your floating cabinets pop with a glossy paint finish.
Other fun ideas for kitchen cabinets include color blocking or ombre.
And don t be afraid to add the same touch to an upper cabinet so mom and dad can keep lists or calendars and post notes.
Ask any designer and the challenge of refreshing a space with minimal fuss or financial burden is best achieved with a fresh coat of paint.
