I have decided to paint my kitchen cabinets. What do I do?

When painting your kitchen cabinets, the first decision you need to make is what colour will you choose? Are you looking for a colour to tie in with the rest of your kitchen or are you going to pick a colour for the cabinets and then revamp your whole kitchen to compliment your choice for a whole new look! Some people also choose to do their top cabinets a different colour to their bottom ones. Baring all this in mind picking the perfect colour for you should be a fun and enjoyable process! If you are not sure, take your time! Get sample cards, sample swatches, and sample pots to help you with your decision. Tuning in to our Instagram page @carlowpainthub will also help with inspiration.

The next thing to consider is what finish you desire. At the moment, Satin is by far the most popular finish. That is not to say that if you prefer Matt or Gloss that you are wrong! On the contrary! Choosing a finish is completely up to personal preference, they are your cabinets so it’s your choice!

With colour and finish in mind, it is now time to think about the products. Purchasing a kitchen cabinet kit takes all the pressure away by providing you with the perfect primer, paint and all the bits and bobs to complete your very own transformation. All you need to do is to decide which kit is right for you depending on what material your cabinets are made from and we will do the rest!
