What paint is best for kitchen cabinets?

In addition to the shade of your dreams, the best paint for kitchen cabinets must be both durable and practical.
If you want to minimize the messy, smelly, and time-consuming aspects of painting your kitchen, you need a paint that requires simple surface preparation.

For this reason, the best paint for kitchen cabinets is a modern, matte, durable paint that goes on beautifully. Water-based paints with low VOC content are pleasant to use. The 'Self Priming' feature means they don't need primers, and they are naturally low in odor.

Frenchic paints are usually matte, so they are great for covering up imperfections that glossy surfaces tend to highlight.

In addition, modern Frenchic paints are very durable, so they can withstand daily use. You can choose a paint for your kitchen cabinets from the Trim Paint , Lazy Range or Al Fresco series.

Is painting kitchen cabinets easy?

You can paint your kitchen cabinets in four simple steps without much effort, special tools, or high costs. All you need to do is clean, lightly sand, paint, and finish.

Plus, when you use the new and smart Frenchic Al Fresco or Lazy Range paints, you get all the benefits of modern lime paints, meaning that with little effort you can update your kitchen yourself!

Green in kitchen cabinets

The color green in all its shades is now IN. Greens have grown in popularity as our interest in nature has increased.

Green brings the outdoors in and feels spacious and meditative at the same time, just like decorating with green plants.

Color psychologists believe that the color green promotes balance, harmony, growth, and renewal.

Wise Old Sage is a crowd favorite. This green is lighter and less dominant than darker greens, and it brings a subtle feel to a space.

Our sage gray and architectural green are reminiscent of matte heritage shades and are also well suited to older buildings.

You can combine this green naturally with other shades and it looks exceptionally lovely together with soothing shades such as duck egg blue and natural blonde tones.

Alternatively, create a contrast with a stunning emerald green. Victory Lane dazzles against brilliant white tiles and appliances. Its intense, jewel-like pigment will delight you every time you enter the room.

Whatever you choose, combine the shades with houseplants and wooden surfaces, as well as other natural materials, such as linen or rattan, to create the most earthy and cozy effect possible.

Blue kitchen cabinets

Blue is one of the most popular colors for the kitchen - and for good reason. It looks great in practically all kitchens, from traditional Shaker and country romantic styles to ultra-modern ones.
A deep, dark inky blue, like After Midnight , will add depth and a strong, dramatic backdrop to your kitchen. Or choose a lighter, slightly more unusual shade like Moody Blue .

Its lovely lavender tones lighten the atmosphere of the kitchen and keep it looking completely unique.

Duckling - a classic duck egg blue-grey English shade is a sure choice for lovers of soft and pastel shades. Ol' Blue Eyes . is a slightly muted, beautiful sky blue, stunning in the colour world of summer cottages and villas.

Neutral tones in kitchen cabinets

Neutral-toned cabinets are far from boring - they give you complete freedom to choose appliances, wall paint, and furniture.

They are excellent background colors and can be used to highlight other colors in the palette, such as bold wall elements and striking interior accents.

Additionally, natural tones like Cream Dream and Salt of the Earth create a sense of calm.

They are wonderfully calm, anything but boring and very easy to live with. Cool Beans - beige with a hint of pink is a great choice to pair with white.

Gray in kitchen cabinets

When it comes to kitchen cabinet colors, there are plenty of choices in gray. Whether you choose dark or light - you can create a completely new atmosphere with your color choice.

Keep things light: Gustavian gray with Swanky Pants - a light silvery shade that can be used liberally while still maintaining a light and bright kitchen.

Or go bold with a dark Smudge. This deep charcoal grey can add drama to your kitchen and give it a sophisticated, elegant look. Choose Smudge if your space has red brick or greenery.

Alternatively, Greyhound is a deep mid-grey shade with distinct blue undertones. Blue-grey provides the perfect backdrop for splashes of colour on towels, small appliances or kitchenware.

Black and white in kitchen cabinets

When it comes to striking colors for the kitchen, we can't leave out black and white. While these two contrasting tones are great for kitchens, there's also a trend these days where wall cabinets are painted a lighter color than the base cabinets.

This creates the illusion of space in the kitchen by adding visual depth and extra dimension to the cabinets.

Refresh your base cabinets with the deep, dark Loof color and transform your wall cabinets with the fresh, clean Whitey White shade.
