Painting is a relatively easy way to revitalise your kitchen. With a few tricks and clever use of colour, you can transform the space of your kitchen and create the illusion that it’s a lot larger than it is. So it is important to consider what you are hoping to achieve before you choose your paint. Remember that specialist paint emulsions are available for kitchens which provide a tougher surface that’s easier to clean away any food stains. These emulsions are also tolerant to a build up of condensation.
If your kitchen walls are adorned with tiles, you may want to consider painting your units to either complement or playfully contrast the rest of your kitchens aesthetics. Painting old cupboards and cabinets is also an affordable and quick way to update old units. Ensure all surfaces are prepped and primed before you begin, and check that all cabinets are functioning and not warped.
