But if your determined to do this project on your own, be sure to prevent these common cabinet painting mishaps!
Not evaluating how big (or small) your kitchen really is
Analyze the size of your kitchen before starting on your project. Many people think their kitchen is smaller than it is and significantly underestimate how much time and supplies they need to paint their cabinets. Set aside at least a week or two to complete your project from start to finish, and keep in mind the value of having a pro take care of cabinet painting in Naperville, IL for you.
Keep in mind that kitchen size can also influence how your cabinet color looks. Dark colors are moody and classic, but make spaces feel smaller. On the flip side, lighter cabinets can open up a room and make it feel larger.
Picking the wrong cabinet color
One of the biggest faux pas is selecting a cabinet color that’s too trendy. Of course, you can add unique, bold color through easily replaceable elements like accent decor, wall paint, and furniture. But when it comes to your cabinets, stick with a more neutral, timeless shade. Take a look at the N-Hance Color Trends book to help you pick the right cabinet color for your home and style.
Forgetting to clean and prep your cabinets
Remember—prep work is the most important step for any cabinet painting project. Remove all smudges and build up that can impact how smoothly your cabinet paint goes on and adheres to the surface. When it comes to this step, having a professional take care of the prep for you can be crucial.
Using cheap primer and paint
Never skip the step of priming your cabinets before painting them! Be sure to use acrylic-polyurethane blends for your primer and paint to make sure your cabinet surfaces resist chipping, peeling, and bleed-through.
A lot of professional painters and DIYers use latex paint that’s made for walls, not cabinets. They often leave unsightly brush strokes behind on cabinet surfaces, too. The good news is, N-Hance of Chicago uses paint specially formulated for cabinets then instantly cures cabinet surfaces for a durable finish.
