Choosing the right kitchen cupboard paint color can be a daunting task. There are so many colors to choose from and it's difficult to know if you will like one color more than another. In this post, I'll explain how choosing a kitchen cabinet paint color is as simple as 1-2-3.

  1. Pick 3 colors that would work well together in your space.
  2. Choose your favorite of those three colors and have the other two on hand just in case you don't love it once it's painted or there is a big difference between what you thought you wanted and what actually looks good.
  3. Paint all of your cabinets with the first coat, then take some time to live with them for at least 48 hours.

Can you paint over kitchen cupboards?

Painting over kitchen cupboards is a popular question that many homeowners ask themselves. There are some great reasons to paint your old kitchen cabinets, but there are also some good reasons why you might want to consider renewing the original wood. The decision ultimately comes down to what you prefer aesthetically and how much time and money you can spend on your home renovation project.

There are many different ways to decorate your kitchen, but one question you need to answer first is can you paint over kitchen cupboards? The best way to find out if painting is possible is by reading the manufacturer instructions for the type of cabinet that you have. If it says yes, then go ahead and give it a try.

You can also do some research on Google and see what others have found as well. One thing I recommend doing before painting is cleaning them very well with soap and water or other surface cleaner so they will be easy to paint over. And make sure there isn't any grease left behind because this could affect how well your new coat of paint adheres.


Do I need to prime kitchen cabinets before painting?

You might be surprised to learn that you don't need to prime kitchen cabinets before painting them. However, there is a process for prepping and priming the surface so it will hold paint better.

It is not necessary to prime kitchen cabinets before painting them. If you are planning on repainting the existing cabinet color, then it's best if you do not prime them first. You may need to sand and seal your cabinets prior to painting though. It can be a little tricky because if you don't prep properly then any imperfections will show up through the paint job.

You'll also want to try using a quality primer/sealer that blocks stains and moisture from penetrating deep into the wood surface of your kitchen cabinetry. This ensures that the new paint job lasts for years without peeling or cracking.


Priming your kitchen cabinets before painting can be a daunting task- but it doesn't have to be. The following article will give you some tips on how to prime your kitchen cabinets quickly and efficiently, as well as what materials are needed for this project.

How can I redo my kitchen cabinets cheaply?

  1. Consider painting your kitchen cabinets a different color to give them a fresh, new look
  2. Replace cabinet doors with glass doors for more light and visibility
  3. Add new hardware on the drawers and doors to make them stand out from the rest of the cabinetry
  4. Remove old handles or knobs that are scratched or damaged from the door panels
  5. If you have an open floor plan, try adding some curtains to block off certain areas so they can be used as separate rooms
  6. Re-arrange your kitchen layout by moving appliances around, taking advantage of unused spaces in corners, or putting furniture against walls instead of in between counter.
