Help with cabinet paint color!

5 anni fa

Ultima modifica:5 anni fa

I am looking to paint the kitchen cabinets. I am going to change the hardware to silver to match faucet. The backsplash is a beige textured stone tile (looks a little yellow because of lighting but it is not) Black granite counter tops and light wood floors.

I'm thinking greys...I was thinking Nimbus by Benjamin moore, but really looking for feedback. thank you.

Don't mind the mess please!

HI-- First -- are you keeping the white appliances ? If so ,-match a white paint to the appliances . You could keep the same hardware or find something else --- chrome might look too cold so try a sample before you buy . The cabinet hardware does not need to match the faucet ... the faucet can stand alone . Are you keeping the backsplash tiles ?... they look fine to me . Paint the toe kick black to match the counter top .. it makes a separation from the floor . Have a Pretty fabric valance at the ceiling height over the top of the window to match in the color of the tiles .

If you’re keeping the backsplash, I think you will need to go with a warm white. Check out Ben Moore’s warmer whites, they have some realy nice ones, one that looks like a very whiteish greige..I don’t know the number..it’s best to get large sample sheets and put them up to the cabinets and backsplash and even put some on the cabinets, then I would take an even lighter version and paint the walls with it. Paint your window trim and base trim with the cabinet color. It does take a while to get the color just right by trying different ones, but it is well worth it. It took me forever to get it right. I ended up changing my backsplash and flooring, so was able to go to a different white than I first envisioned. This is my before and after.

Great Lorenzo! Vecchie tavole in legno verniciate, poi scarteggiate per effetto "vissuto" e poi protette con trasparente (se si allarga la foto si vedono le vecchie tracce di fori e le venature) che bel lavoro e bello l'effetto! Grazie anche a chi ha pubblicato il post (mi avete dato una bella idea) ;)

Gabriella non disperare...io dipingerei di nero matt tutti i mobili della cucina: si raccorderanno con la cucina a libera installazione e avranno il giusto carattere per abbinarsi a pavimento e rivestimento. non aggiungerei fantasie, visto che ci sono già sul pavimento e rivestimento. in questi casi i "difetti" non vanno mascherati (che tanto e' impossibile), ma vanno cavalcati per farne un punto di forza (prendila come una sfida...a te non piace vincere facile, giusto???)

Per quello che riguarda i vetri, dipende se vuole il passaggio di luce o meno. Si può optare per dei vetri satinati o per una verniciatura (il "lacobel" se industriale piuttosto che una verniciatura DIY). Ovviamente in caso di verniciatura, il passaggio di luce sarebbe occluso. Altrimenti delle porte che diano l'effetto bianco/satinato con dei decori in trasparenza o colorati possono essere una ulteriore soluzione, anche se non a tutti piace. Un esempio La rimandiamo poi alla Galleria del nostro sito per trovare magari ispirazione :) Buona Giornata Emanuele Vetreria Tacca

Ciao Katia si ho dipinto io la cucina con la Chalk Paint. Ho sgrassato bene, e leggermente scartavetrato. Poi ho passato tre mani di colore ed una di protezione. Non è difficile, solo un po' lungo. Ho usato il rullo, non il pennello

Julie,

I agree with Sandra. Go with a white on your cabinets. There are whites with a hint of gray. However, going full gray would not work with your backsplash and would take away from your enjoyment of all the hard work you are about to put into painting them. Dunn Edwards has a 'white' called Snowflake DEW384 that has a hint of gray that may accomplish what you want.

Best of luck on your project.

There are good and not so good things you should be aware of before painting your cabinets.

Many people are able to brighten their kitchen and extend the life of their worn cabinets by painting. Your cabinets appear to be oak. Oak is not a paint grade wood because of the grain texture. This texture - not the color - will show through the paint. This bothers some, but not others. Wood also moves with changes in temp and humidity which can cause hairline cracks in the paint at the joints. Again, this bothers some and not others. Most factory painted cabinets are MDF or MDF combined with wood because this is more stable as to movement - less cracked paint.

A painted over previously finished surface is not as durable as a factory painted cabinet. Even the best DIY jobs I've seen show some wear in 3 years requiring touch ups. So be sure to keep track of what you used to do touch ups later. Keep in mind that pictures on home decor sites showing the freshly painted white kitchen are not showing the kitchen 3 to 5 years down the road. In general, white kitchens require more time dedicated to wiping down the cabinets. This information is not meant to discourage you, just give you information as to what to expect. As said before, a well done paint job can extend the life of older cabinets.

You have a warmed tone kitchen. Do not use a cool gray cabinet paint as it will not work well with your other surfaces. A warm gray - often reads more green or blue, could work. Gray is no longer as on trend as previously and new design pics are showing more wood kitchens again.

You have a good layout in our kitchen and i love the big window.

This is my wood kitchens idea book in case you want to look at ideas without painting. It has both new and older, refreshed wood kitchens:

I decided not to paint my kitchen, but did get new counters, backsplash and "short" apron front sink.

Your kitchen looks to be a very busy place, and probably gets a lot of use. You may not be very happy with painted cabinets, unless you keep a can of touch up paint in an easy to reach location. They look decent enough, if they were all scrubbed and cleaned, that maybe you might decide to keep them. If you do decide to paint them, then scrub them really well, sand them very well. Prime with a top quality sealing, and bonding primer, and use the proper paint for cabinets. It is a very long tedious project to do, but, it needs to be done properly, or you will have all chips and cracks and peeled paint in just a few months. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Unless you are going to change the lighting to a cooler color temp (to eliminate the yellow) you will have to work with the yellowness that the lighting causes. It could make any gray that you think works with the current tile, when viewed in other lighting, look very wrong in those lights.

If you go the white cab route, consider experimenting with painting the backsplash tiles especially since you hope to replace it “someday.” Doing that would definitely expand your color options in the kitchen.

Is updating the lighting a possibility?

We recommend looking into changing your lighting/bulbs in your lights first. No matter what paint you do it's most likely going to look yellow if your backsplash already does. We also recommend going for under cabinet lighting as well.
