Here are some simple, inexpensive ideas for refreshing a kitchen by painting the cabinets.
Start your kitchen renovation with a clean surface
The kitchen is probably the room where surfaces get dirty most quickly. Grease from cooking and splashes from washing dishes build up over time. Wipe the furniture before you paint, varnish, or cover it. New paint does not adhere well to a dirty surface.
Kitchen renovation with new colors
Sand the wood
In addition to choosing a new color for your kitchen cabinets, sand the surface with fine sandpaper before painting. This helps the paint last longer. Remove the doors first to make the process easier.
Warm color
Use a good primer
Choose the right primer for the type of paint you plan to use. Oil-based paints need a compatible primer, while water-based paints need a primer suited to that finish. Buy enough material so you can paint the kitchen cabinets properly and completely.
Red kitchen
Several coats
Use a professional brush for the best results. A small paint roller is also a good choice because it reduces the risk of visible brush marks along the edges. Apply at least two thin coats, letting the first layer dry before starting the second.
