NO.1 PAINT THEM PRETTY
easy upgrade Painting your cabinets is one of the easiest ways to update your kitchen. We love the crisp white and the rich navy of this traditional kitchen—a fresh twist on ever-popular black and white—but if you want a lighter look, pair grey lower cabinets with white uppers. It can cost a lot to have your cabinets professionally sprayed, but luckily this is a great DIY project. Just be sure to choose a durable paint that’s designed for cabinetry, use a foam roller and a good-quality brush and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for drying times. The ultimate secret to successfully painted cabinets? Thoroughly clean and sand all surfaces and apply a coat of primer before painting.
WHY WE LOVE IT The colour options are endless: Go bold, go neutral or paint your upper and lower cabinets in coordinating hues.
