Tips for an Easy Kitchen Cabinet Transformation

Jacobsen Brothers Painting • October 12, 2021

Are your kitchen cabinets the star of the show? Your kitchen is a busy place and gets more traffic than any other room in the house, so it should be delightful. Sometimes, all it needs is a professional painting application to elevate it to new heights. Jacobsen Brothers Painting knows how to apply design and color to your kitchen to create a unique look that perfectly accentuates your individuality and energizes the whole family.



Painting kitchen cabinets requires a professional touch to create a masterpiece for the center of your house. Our team can transform your cabinets into a smooth, glossy, and attractive feature that sets the mood for the rest of the kitchen.


Color

Your kitchen design should start and end with color. Don’t be afraid to embrace your favorite hue for your cabinets. You can always go neutral with the walls, floor and ceiling to allow bold cabinets to be the best feature.


Contrast is Key

When your cabinets are painted all one color, it’s a perfect time to consider making a statement by adding a contrasting color or pattern. If you have a glass door cabinet, you could choose a pattern to paint the back wall of the cabinet that would create a showcase. Or, if you have boldly colored dishware to show off, adding a glass door to a cabinet and track lighting to highlight the interesting pieces will accomplish much.


Want to try something new with the backsplash walls? Go metallic to refract natural light and try a fun geometric pattern.


Two-Tone Paint

Another technique that works very well is to choose two similar but different colors for the upper cabinets and the base cabinets. The top cabinets could be a natural white and the base could be a washed sea green for the slightest complement that will add an impression of shadow and coolness to the combo.


Or, make the hanging cabinets a dusty blue and the base cabinets a shade brighter to infuse energy into the space without overpowering it.


One Show Stopper

Finally, pick one part of the kitchen to be your focal point. The kitchen island could be the point of interest, or the backsplash, or the cabinets. Whatever you choose, have that feature painted in the hero color and the rest of the kitchen done in more subdued or natural colors.


Sometimes just adding track lighting can emphasize your focal point and bring out an interest area. Or, adding a geometric pattern can raise the energy level. If your kitchen is sleek and modern, the impression of texture can add a much-needed change. The backsplash wall is a great place to add texture with patterns or tile.
