The smallest rooms can often feel like the most challenging to tie together in a home renovation. While spaces like bathrooms may be small, they make a big impact. That’s where N-Hance comes in with cabinet painting in Orland, California.
Here are a few rules of thumb to keep in mind when choosing your bathroom cabinet paint color.
Size
Consider how big (or small) your bathroom is, and how much natural light is in the space. These as well as the layout and flow of your bathroom will have a significant effect on what will look best for your cabinet color. Remember that dark cabinets can make a space feel smaller while light cabinets can open up a small room and make it feel larger.
Flooring
Since flooring is more of a permanent feature, work with the existing color to coordinate your cabinets. When in doubt, remember contrast—like dark espresso floors with white or cream cabinets—really looks stunning.
Countertops
Common countertop materials are granite, quartz, and concrete. Most countertops contain flecks of several colors, so be sure to choose a cabinet color that matches.
Wall Color
Coordinate your new cabinet color with your current or future wall color. And the good news is, painting walls is an easy change should you want or need to after your cabinets are painted.
Additional Considerations For Bathroom Cabinet Painting
Also keep these other tips in mind during your cabinet painting project.
Go With A Classic Color
When in doubt, go with a classic cabinet stain or a neutral color like cream or white. These versatile shades pair well with various decor, design styles, and accents.
Don’t Be Afraid To Go Bold
If your bathroom has a modern feel, don’t be afraid to try a bold, bright color. This can often be pulled off well in a bathroom rather than a larger area like a kitchen.
Keep The Paint Sheen In Mind
Most paints come in an eggshell finish, but you may also consider a satin or gloss.
Be Mindful Of The Future
Even if you don’t have plans to sell your home in the near future, be aware of how the colors you choose could impact future buyers. Steer toward neutral shades like ivory or a deep wood stain that apply to a wide range of preferences and styles.
Stay Consistent With The Style Of Your Home
Stay true to the style throughout the rest of your home when painting bathroom cabinets. Make sure it blends and is cohesive with your aesthetic.
Go With What You Love
Keep the above tips in mind, but when it really comes down to it, choose what you love. Use design rules as guidelines but don’t be afraid to get creative. What matters most is that you love the end result, and N-Hance can help you get there.
