Why Paint Your Kitchen Cabinets? Painting Tips for San Diego Homeowners

If you follow our blog, you likely have noticed that we are asked quite often to paint kitchen cabinets. For a couple recent examples, click on over to these articles:

The last one may not actually involve kitchen cabinets specifically, but the principle is similar (plus the before/after photos are fun to see).

If you’re like a lot of homeowners in the San Diego area, you may be wondering: what exactly is the appeal of painting kitchen (or bathroom) cabinets? Why is this such a hot trend?

Well, let’s take a closer look.

Why Is Kitchen Cabinet Painting So Popular?

First, we should say that kitchens themselves are enjoying more time in the limelight than ever before. They have become an avenue to showcase incredibly diverse, customized style, from countertop options to dazzling backsplashes. And, dollars invested in the kitchen are rarely dollars wasted. The ROI (Return On Investment) for updates and remodels is very high, especially if you make strategic color and material decisions (as much as you may love hot pink cabinetry, not everyone will have the same appreciation).

So, with that understanding of why kitchens are such a focal point in home improvement, let’s zoom in on why cabinet painting specifically is a popular choice.

Benefits of Painting Your Cabinets

Style Diversity - The options are limitless, and often have a much bigger visual impact than a more traditionally finished wood. To see what we mean, take a look at these examples on Houzz.com: painted kitchen cabinets. From beautifully haggard faux finishes to glossy, modern styles, the results can be stunning.
Cost - Compared to completely replacing your cabinets, painting them is much more cost-effective. And, it offers an equally drastic transformation.
Time Investment - The kitchen is pretty important, to say the least. Having it out of commission for an extended period of time can be a hassle (especially if it interferes with “Pancake Saturday”). Painting requires much less time than a traditional remodel. As an added benefit, certain portions of the process can often be done off-site, further reducing the level of interruption.
Variety - Taking our point about “style diversity” even further, you can really play with colors. Why not make your island an accent piece, perhaps with a bolder color, or paint your upper and lower cabinetry different, but complementary, colors?
